Project description:Cooperation involving Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria results in improvements of plant growth and health. While pathogenic and symbiotic interactions are known to induce transcriptional changes for genes related to plant defense and development, little is known about the impact of phytostimulating rhizobacteria on plant gene expression. In this context, this study aimed at identifying genes significantly regulated in rice roots upon Azospirillum inoculation, considering possible favored interaction between a strain and its original host cultivar. Genome-wide analyses of root gene expression of Oryza sativa japonica cultivars Cigalon and Nipponbare were performed, by using microarrays, seven days post inoculation with A. lipoferum 4B (isolated from Cigalon roots) or Azospirillum sp. B510 (isolated from Nipponbare) and compared to the respective non-inoculated condition.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Azospirillum lipoferum 4B associated to artificial roots, Oryza sativa japonica cv. Cigalon roots and Oryza sativa japonica cv. Nipponbare roots, compared to the strain grown in liquid culture.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is compare the effect of phbC gene in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. methods: The transcriptional and metabolomics analysis the function of phbC in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546. Results:The transcriptional and metabolomics showed that the decrease of curdlan production in the ΔphbC mutants may be caused by the insufficient supply of energy ATP conclusion:phbC play an important role in curdlan synthesis in Agrobacterium sp. CGMCC 11546
