Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Cenococcum geophilum ectomycorrhizal Pine roots, sclerotia and extramatrical mycelium compared to free-living mycelium . Ectomycorrhizal pine roots, sclerotia, extramatrical mycelium and control mycelium were harvested after 90 days and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 150bp were generated and aligned to the C. geophilum reference genome (https://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Cenge3/Cenge3.home.html).
Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Cenococcum geophilum ectomycorrhizal poplar roots compared to free-living mycelium . Ectomycorrhizal poplar roots and control mycelium were harvested after 60 days and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 150bp were generated and aligned to the C. geophilum reference genome (https://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Cenge3/Cenge3.home.html).
Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Paxillus involutus ectomycorrhizal roots compared to mycelium patches . Mycorrhizal roots were harvested after 4 weeks, pooled and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 2X100bp were generated and aligned to Paxillus involutus (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Paxin1/Paxin1.home.html) using CLC Genomics Workbench 6.
Project description:Comparative transcriptome analysis of early interaction events in Scots pine root tissues following challenge with a pathogenic, saprophytic or symbiotic fungus. Seedlings of P. sylvestris (19 days post germination) were transferred to wet, sterile filter paper on Petri-plates. Thereafter, the roots of the seedlings were inoculated with the mycelial homogenate of either Heterobasidion annosum (FP5, P-type) a pathogenic root rot fungus which attacks Norway spruce, Scots pine and broad leaf trees or Laccaria bicolor, an obligate ectomycorrhizal symbiont or Trichoderma aureoviride- an obligate saprotroph. Thereafter, incubated for 30 minutes, during which time some hyphae adhered to the roots. The inoculated seedlings (ten) were then transferred to another wet sterile filter paper placed on 1% water agar in Petri dishes. A second set of moist sterile filter paper was laid over the roots. The region of the Petri-dish containing the roots was covered with aluminium foil and the edges of the plate sealed with parafilm. The seedlings were then incubated for 24 hr under a photoperiod of 16h light at 20 ºC. Control seedlings were âinoculatedâ with sterile distilled water.
Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Suillus luteus ectomycorrhizal roots compared to free-living mycelium . Mycorrhizal roots were harvested after 40 days, pooled and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 2X100bp were generated and aligned to Suillus luteus (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Suilu1/Suilu1.home.html) using CLC Genomics Workbench 6.
Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Piloderma croceum ectomycorrhizal roots compared to free-living mycelium . Mycorrhizal roots were harvested after 8 weeks, pooled and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 2X100bp were generated and aligned to Piloderma croceum (http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Pilcr1/Pilcr1.home.html) using CLC Genomics Workbench 6.
Project description:Illumina HiSeq technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Cenococcum geophilum ectomycorrhizal roots compared to free-living mycelium . Mycorrhizal roots were harvested after 3 months, pooled and used for RNA extraction. Reads of 2X100bp were generated and aligned to Cenococcum geophilum (http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/Cenge3/Cenge3.home.html) reference transcripts using CLC Genomics Workbench 6.
Project description:Global transcriptional analysis of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is challenging due to limited molecular tools. PtGen2, a 26,496 feature cDNA microarray, was fabricated and used to assess drought-induced gene expression in loblolly pine propagule roots. Statistical analysis of differential expression and weighted gene correlation network analysis were used to identify drought-responsive genes and further characterize the molecular basis of drought tolerance in loblolly pine.
