Project description:The analysis of the Fusarium graminearum transcriptome during symptomless and symptomatic infections of wheat floral tissue at 7 days post infection, to identify the correct spatio-temperol regulation of multiple virulence strategies.
Project description:Fusarium graminearum gene expression profiles were compared during an early infection time course (1, 2, and 4d post-inoculation) of three monocot hosts (wheat heads, barley heads, and maize developing kernels).
Project description:We report the transcriptome profile of different cultivars of Fusarium graminearum-infected wheat grains, aiming to search for some different expression genes and pathways to reveal the difference between wheat cultivars.
Project description:The plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum (Fgr) creates economic and health risks in cereals agriculture. Fgr causes head blight (or scab) of wheat and stalk rot of corn, reducing yield, degrading grain quality and polluting downstream food products with mycotoxins. Fungal plant pathogens must secrete proteases to access nutrition and to breakdown the structural protein component of the plant cell wall. Research into the proteolytic activity of Fgr is hindered by the complex nature of the suite of proteases secreted. We used a systems biology approach comprising genome analysis, transcriptomics and label-free quantitative proteomics to characterise the peptidases deployed by Fgr during growth. A combined analysis of published microarray transcriptome datasets revealed seven transcriptional groupings of peptidases based on in vitro growth, in planta growth, and sporulation behaviours. An orbitrap MS/MS proteomics technique defined the extracellular proteases secreted by Fusarium graminearum.
Project description:Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) is a prominent pathogen that infects major cereal crops, such as wheat, barley, and maize. To dissect cellular responses toward heat stress in the plant pathogenic fungus F. graminearum, we compared transcriptomes of the fungal cultures incubated in normal temperature condition (25 ºC) and in high temperature condition (37 ºC) for 15 min. 6 samples examined: 24 h-old mycelia from complete medium (CM) of Fusarium graminearum wild-type Z-3639 were incubated in normal temperature condition (25 ºC) and in high temperature condition (37 ºC) for 15 min.
Project description:Fusarium graminearum (teleomorph Gibberella zeae) is a prominent pathogen that infects major cereal crops, such as wheat, barley, and maize. Fhs1 contains a Zn(II)2Cys6 fungal-type DNA-binding domain and localized to nuclei , suggesting that Fhs1 is a transcription factor required for hydroxiurea. 6 samples examined: 24 h after inoculation of Fusarium graminearum wild-type Z-3639 and fhs1 (Îfhs1::GEN) strains in complete media
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 the very susceptible spring wheat cultivar Roblin inoculated with water (H2O) or Fg.
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 the resistant spring wheat cultivar Wuhan1 inoculated with water (H2O) or Fg.
