Project description:Transcription profiling of Citrus sinensis leaves following Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri wild type and LOV mutant treatment.<br><br>Samples taken 24 h after treatments were compared.
Project description:The citrus red mite, Panonychus citri, is a major pest on citrus all around the world. Mitochondrial Electron Transport Inhibitors of complex I (METI-I) acaricides such as fenpyroximate have been used extensively to control P. citri populations, which resulted in multiple reports of METI-I resistant populations in the field. In this study, gene expression profile differences between METI-I resistant P. citri populations (Lahijan, Ramsar and Sari) and a susceptible P. citri population (Rasht) from Iran were compared using Illumina RNAseq.
Project description:Pathogens can trigger a broad array of changes in gene expression in plants. In this study we report the changes in gene expression patterns that occurred when greenhouse grown Washington Navel oranges (C. sinensis) was graft innoculated with citrus pathogens. Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, Spiroplasma citri, and two isolates of citrus tristeza virus were studied.
Project description:Total RNAs from the Citrus red mite at the embryo, larva, nymph and adult stages were used to construct small RNA libraries for Solexa sequencing. Several categories of sRNAs were identified, including 594 known microRNAs (miRNAs) grouped into 206 families and 31 novel miRNAs. In addition, according to bioinformatics analysis and S-Poly(T) miRNA assays, the expression level of many miRNAs varied among the developmental stages. Furthermore, the prediction of miRNAs target genes and their functional annotation indicated that miRNAs are involved in the regulation of multiple pathways in the Citrus red mite. The total RNAs from embryo, larva, nymph and adult stages of Panonychus citri were used to construct small RNA libraries for Solexa sequencing. The data from Solexa sequencer (Illumina) was compared to identify small RNAs in different stages of Panonychus citri.
