ABSTRACT: Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris str. 8004 (Xcc 8004 Indian Isolate): Wild type vs xibR mutant, under the both iron-replete and iron-deplete conditions.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of low-iron stimulon and XibR influenced regulon using wild-type Xcc 8004 and xibR mutant grown under iron-replete and iron-deplete conditions. Trancriptional analysis under iron-deplete condition, mimicking in planta environment, provides greater insights into expression pattern of several virulence-associated functions under low-iron. A genetic screen sggested the involvement of XibR (Xanthomonas iron binding regulator) in iron-uptake and metabolism. Present transcriptional analysis suggested the co-regulation of virulence associated functions including siderophore biosynthesis, motility, chemotaxis and typeIII effectors by a novel transcriptional regulator of NtrC family protein XibR and iron avability.
Project description:Black rot, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is one of the most devastating diseases of cruciferous crops worldwide. The pathogen infects and multiplies in plant vascular tissues and, as the disease progresses, the veins of infected tissues turn black and characteristic V-shaped lesions appear along the margins of leaves.The aim of this work is to identify differentially expressed genes from Brassica oleracea during early infection by Xcc, in an attempt to identify proteins related to resistance. Cabbge seedlings were inoculated with Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris (Xcc) suspension and cabbage gene expression at 6h., 24h. And 48h. After inoculation was assessed with help of Brassica 95k EST microarray chip.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004 comparing control wild type strain with ravA (or ravS or ravR) mutant The effects of mutating ravS, ravR and ravA on EPS synthesis, biofilm production and motility were very different , the factors responsible for these differences are not clear. With comparative analysis of the regualtion pathways by RavS, RavR and RavA, we can indentify different genes regulated by these three genes and maybe explain the different phenotypes caused by these genes mutations.
Project description:Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is a major bacterial pathogen of cruciferous plants worldwide. The pathogen produces polysaccharides including extracellular cyclic glucan, xanthan, and extracellular enzymes that are key virulence factors. Different Xcc mutants (8397-defective in xanthan and 8523- defective in extracellular glucans) have been obtained and characterized in previously, wich shown to be less infective than the wild type strain when inoculated in N.benthamiana, wich has shown to be an excellent model for the study of Xcc-plant interaction. The objective of this work is evaluate this compounds functions in the plant-pathogen interaction, in particular in the plant transcriptoma modulation to confer susceptibility or resistance to the infection. Plant gene expression profiles would be obtained from independently inoculated leaves of N.benthamiana with the following strains of xanthomonas: Xcc. 8004 (wild type), Xcc. 8397 (xanthan minus), Xcc. 8523 (glucan minus), ant water (control). Leaves discs will be collected at 24 hs post infection and immediately submerged in liquid N2. Total RNA will be extracted with plant RNA specific kits (RNA easy QIAGen), treated with DNase, purified and quantified. Keywords: Reference design

Project description:Understanding plant’s response mechanisms against pathogenesis is fundamental for the development of resistant crop varieties and more productive agriculture. In this regard, ‘omic’ approaches are heralded as valuable technologies. In this work, combining iTRAQ technology with mass spectrometry, the proteomes from leaves of Brassica oleracea plants infected with Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) and control plants at two different post-infection times were compared.
