Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain PXO99A, so called Xoo, is disable to infect in rice cultivar carrying Xa21 gene. A set of experiments indicated that Ax21 is quorum sensing factor in PXO99 strain. To observe fine-tuned details how Ax21 controls expression of PXO99 in response to change of cell population density, transcriptional profiling analysis was perform by using published two channel oligo Xo microarray platform (Seo et al.,2008 BMC microbiology). Keywords: Comparative transcription profiling between low cell density and high cell density with same genetic background
Project description:Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain PXO99A, so called Xoo, is disable to infect in rice cultivar carrying Xa21 gene. Disrupted mutant of raxR gene, response regulator of two-component regulatory system (TCS), in Xoo was previously shown to partially retrieve back the bacterial capability to establish in Xa21 rice. RaxR was shown to mediate the expression of other rax gene operon members and also its expression is changed dependent on cell population density. In this study, we investigated the regulatory mechanisms mediated by RaxR using whole-genome transcriptional profiling analysis in comparison of (i) PXO99R (PXO99 strain lacking RaxR) vs. PXO99, (ii) PXO99Rox (PXO99 strain overexpressing RaxR) vs. PXO99, and (iii) PXO99Rox vs. PXO99R. As a result of array analysis, we revealed that RaxR is not only required for AvrXa21 activitiy, it also plays roles in regulatory functions, for example, pathogenicity, motility, and stress tolerance. Then, we generated knock out mutants of RaxR regulon members to validate regulatory functions of RaxR and to extend other biological impacts of RaxR beyond the Xoo AvrXa21 activity. The combined interpretation from array analysis and mutant functional validation presents the complexity of regulatory pathways between AvrXa21 activity and other biological activities in Xoo. Keywords: Comparative transcription profiling between modified genetic mutant and wild type

Keywords: Comparative transcription profiling between modified genetic mutant and wild type Three biological and dye-swap replicates, total six samples for each dataset. Three datasets contained; (i) raxR knockout mutant vs. wildtype PXO99A in PSB, nutrient rich media (ii) RaxR constitutively express mutant vs. wildtype PXO99A in PSB, nutrient rich media, and (iii) raxR knockout mutant vs. RaxR constitutively express mutant in PSB, nutrient rich media
Project description:OsEDS1 is a key regulator of SA-mediated immunity in plants. The OsEDS1 knockout mutant (Oseds1) was characterized and shown to have increased susceptibility to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), suggesting the positive role of OsEDS1 in regulating rice disease resistance. To identify differentially regulated downstream of Oseds1, we performed transcriptome deep sequencing (RNA-seq) of wild type (ZH11) and Oseds1 inoculated with Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (PXO99A).

Keywords: Comparative transcription profiling between low cell density and high cell density with same genetic background Three biological and dye-swap replicates, total six samples for each dataset. Two datasets contained; (i) PXO99 at 106 CFU/ml vs 108 CFU/ml, and (ii) PXO99∆ax21at 106 CFU/ml vs PXO99∆ax21 108 CFU/ml. 106 CFU/ml and 108 CFU/ml are cell density used in this study as representation of low and high cell density. All bacteria cultures were grown in PS (Peptone sucrose) broth media.
Project description:Transcription profiling of the DSF regulon in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) using wild type and the rpfF mutant. Cell-cell signaling mediated by the quorum sensing molecule known as Diffusible Signaling factor (DSF) is required for virulence of Xanthomonas group of plant pathogens. DSF in different Xanthomonas and the closely related plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa regulates diverse traits in a strain specific manner. The transcriptional profiling performed in this study is to elucidate the traits regulated by DSF from the Indian isolate of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, which exhibits traits very different from other Xanthomonas group of plant pathogen. In this study, transcription analysis was done between a wild type Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain and an isogenic strain that has a mutation in the DSF biosynthetic gene rpfF.
Project description:We performed RNA-Seq of leaves of Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare 48 hours after inoculation with Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain PXO99A heterologously expressing the Tal2a effector, the designer TAL effector dT280 which targets a sequence overlapping the predicted Tal2a binding sequence in UCH, or the Tal11b effector. Results provide insight into the genes differentially regulated in a Tal2a- and dT280-specific manner.
