Project description:In the parasitic wasp Venturia canescens sexual and asexual populations coexist in sympatry and showed distinct foraging behaviours. By sequencing head transcriptome from sexual and asexual population, we assess transcriptomic divergence between the 2 populations.
Project description:This dataset relates to a proteomic analysis of Ave1 homologs in the fungal pathogens Venturia pirina and Venturia inequalis. These species are the cause of scab disease on European pear (Pyrus communis) and apple (Malus pumila). Sample preparation for both V. pirina and V. inequalis was designed to focus on effectors and eliminate host proteins. To do this the fungi were grown in vitro, on cellophane sheets mimicing the growth habit in infected leaves and proteins were extracted using a gentle washing procedure designed to avoid cell wall breakage. LC-MS/MS data was queried against a protein database generated from gene predictions obtained from whole genome sequences of V. pirina and V. inequalis.
