Project description:The fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host plant maize. Hallmarks of the disease are large plant tumors in which fungal proliferation occurs. Plants have developed various defense pathways to cope with pathogens. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression during the infection process of Ustilago maydis in its host plant to get insights into the defense programs and the metabolic reprogramming needed to supply the fungus with nutrients. Keywords: time course

Project description:mRNAs comparison between Ustilago maydis wild type grown in diluted YEPS (control) and in cell-free supernatants of Ustilago maydis wild type treated with H202 in two different concentrations (0.4% and 0.7%).
Project description:The fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host plant maize. Hallmarks of the disease are large plant tumors in which fungal proliferation occurs. Plants have developed various defense pathways to cope with pathogens. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression during the infection process of Ustilago maydis in its host plant to get insights into the defense programs and the metabolic reprogramming needed to supply the fungus with nutrients. Experiment Overall Design: In three independent experiments plants were infected with the solopathogenic U. maydis strain SG200. Samples from infected leaves were taken at 12 and 24 hours post infection, as well as 2, 4 and 8 days post infection. Samples from uninfected control plants were taken at the same time points.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level in Pseudozyma antarctica T-34, compared to Ustilago maydis UM521. To clarify the transcriptomic characteristics of Pseudozyma antarctica under the conditions of high MEL production, a DNA microarray of both the strains, Pseudozyma antarctica T-34 and Ustilago maydis UM521 was prepared and analyzed the transcriptomes.
Project description:Study of gene regulation basidiocarps development in Ustilago maydis using transcriptomic analysis. In 2012, Cabrera-Ponce et al. established conditions allowing a completely different developmental program in U. maydis when grown on solid medium containing Dicamba (synthetic auxin) in dual cultures with maize embryogenic calli.
