Project description:Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease of cereal crops caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum (Fg). FHB affects the flowering heads (or spikes). This study compare the gene expression profile in wheat spikelets from near isogenic spring wheat lines carrying different combinaison of the FHB resistance QTLs 2DL, 3BS and 5A, after inoculation with water (H2O) or Fg; the point inoculation method was used.

Project description:Near isogenic wheat lines, differing in the presence of the FHB-resistance QTL Fhb1 and Qfhs.ifa-5A, have been sequenced using Illumina HiSeq2000 under disease pressure (30 and 50 hai) as well as with mock-inoculation, to discern transcriptional differences induced by Fusarium graminearum.
Project description:Identify genes underlying the Fusarium crown rot resistance locus and find out if expressed genes associated with resistance to Fusarium crown rot were related to those observed by others for Fusarium head blight.
Project description:Near isogenic wheat lines(NILs), differing in the presence of both or none of the FHB-resistance QTL Fhb1 and Qfhs.ifa-5A, have been sequenced using Illumina HiSeq2000 under disease pressure (3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 hai) as well as with mock-inoculation, to discern transcriptional differences induced by Fusarium graminearum. The NILs are BC5F2 lines generated from the Mexican Spring wheat line CM-82036, the resistance QTL donor line, as recurrent background and the susceptible German Spring wheat line Remus as the donor of the susceptible QTL alleles.
Project description:Resistance mechanisms of wheat to Fusarium graminearum are still poorly understood. Multiple reports have investigated transcriptomic differences between resistant and susceptible genotypes. To investigate the genetic determinants underlying the two major contributor QTL Fhb1 and Qfhs.ifa-5A, we generated a set of near-isogenic lines, that we have used for transcriptomic studies using the Affymetrix wheat GeneChip®: 4 near-isogenic lines (BC5F2) derived from a cross of CM82036 and cv Remus (susceptible recurrent parent) and the resistant parent CM82036 have been inoculated with Fusarium spore suspension or water as control at anthesis. Samples have been taken at 3 timepoints 8, 24 and 72 hours after inoculation. Five wheat heads per condition were pooled into one sample, that has been used for RNA preparation. Including 3 replicates a total of 90 microarrays have been hybridized. Our results identify a wide variety of genes (631 transcripts) that are differentially regulated for Fusarium graminearum in all genotypes after 72 h and 339 genes that are upregulated only in lines without Qfhs.ifa.5A. Few genes were found differentially regulated for Fusarium and QTL. Many interesting candidates emerge from the set of QTL-specific genes that are constitutively expressed when comparing water-treated samples. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Wolfgang Schweiger.
