ABSTRACT: Transcriptome analysis of Agrobacterium fabrum C58 and its mutant defective in phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis under environmental stress conditions
Project description:Sequencing by the Illumina Genome Analyzer II(36 bp) of the reverse transcribed small RNAs (<500b) using the Illumina directional mRNA-Seq protocol. This was performed on A. fabrum C58 strain from several growth conditions. Reads were then aligned to the genome of the bacteria (Accession number NC_003062, NC_003063, NC_003064 and NC_003065)
Project description:This research focuses on the design, manufacturing and validation of a new Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 whole-genome tiling microarray platform for novel RNA transcript discovery. A whole-genome tiling microarray allows both annotated genes as well as previously unknown RNA transcripts to be detected and quantified at once. The Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 genome is re-acquired with next-generation sequencing and then used to design the tilinlg microarray with the thermodynamic analysis program Picky. Validations are performed by subjecting Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 under various growth conditions and then using the tling microarrays to verify expected gene expression patterns.
Project description:Performed RNASeq analysis comparing A. tumefaciens C58 (fabrum) harboring a plasmid driving ectopic expression of mirA regulator gene (ATU_RS08050) from Plac promoter with the isogenic strain haboring the same plasmid with no mirA (Vector control)
Project description:rs11-03_agro transcriptomic comparison of tumoric tissues induced by different c58 agrobacterium lines What are the functions and the regulatory pathways of the bacterial quorum-sensing system in the context of Agrobacterium/Arabidopsis interactions?
Project description:rs11-03_agro transcriptomic comparison of tumoric tissues induced by different c58 agrobacterium lines What are the functions and the regulatory pathways of the bacterial quorum-sensing system in the context of Agrobacterium/Arabidopsis interactions? Arabidopsis WT Col0 plants were grown in greenhouse till stage 1.03-1.04 (growth conditions 1). They were then confined in short day conditions and at 22°C (growth conditions 2). At stage 5.10 plants were wounded at the base of the stem and part of them were inoculated with 3 different C58 Agrobacterium strains (WT, accR or traI). Eighteen days post inoculation, wounded but non-infected tissues (control) as well as tumoric tissues were collected and processed for RNA extraction. 21 dye-swap
