Project description:The transcriptomic modulations leading to defense response in rice one hour after inoculation by Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae. Xoo and mock inoculated plant of cultivars IET8585 (bacterial leaf blight resistant) and IR-24 (bacterial leaf blight susceptible) were compared.
Project description:A comparative study ware made to know the Early Blight resistance mechanism between resistant and susceptible plants at vegetative stage. Transcriptional changes during compatible and resistant reaction between A. solani and tomato genotypes have been identified using Affymetrix tomato gene chips. Results were confirmed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction with the samples collected after 24hrs of inoculation from inoculated and control susceptible and resistant genotypes. The number of up and down regulated genes in three different combinations of treatments i.e. Early Blight Resistant Treated and Control (EBTT and EBTC) and Early Blight Suceptible Treated and Control (EBST and EBSC) has observed and compared. In EBST vs. EBSC condition, 3478 genes are up regulated and 2663 are down regulated. Similarly when analysis is done between EBST and EBRT, 2475 genes are up regulated and 3662 are down regulated. Total 3442 genes are up regulated and 2695 genes are found to be down regulated in resistant line of tomato for early blight when the analysis is done for EBRT Vs. EBRC. These genes, that are induced in the resistant genotype EC-520061(Solanum habrochaites , wild) of tomato, after Alternaria solani infection, have been classified in to following categories, response to stress, cellular component, Metabolic activity, regulation of transcription, regulation of translation, and few were unknown. Data from this study are a resource for understanding the mechanism, which works for resistance against pathogen of early blight in tomato, which is critical and will be useful in improving this trait through transgenic approach or gene silencing. Tomato plants were exposed to A. solani spores and after 24 hrs (at the stage of penetration of tissues with fungal hyphae) samples were collected from both susceptible and resistant genotypes for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix chips. To study the molecular mechanism of biotic stress resistance, transcripts of both the genotypes were compared in response to A. solani.
Project description:We carried out an RNA-seq based transcriptome study on two rice varieties, Cocodrie (CCDR; rice sheath blight susceptible) and MCR10277 (MCR; rice sheath blight resistant), to profile the time-series wide genome-scale transcriptional differences in response to sheath blight (SB), an infection caused by R. solanii (LR172) . Our approach is cross-referencing differentially expressed genes with significant variants of two phenotypically different varieties to validate known and discover novel variants and to further understand rice's physiological response to SB.

Project description:An indica rice cultivar IET8585 (Ajaya), resists diverse races of the Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo) pathogen attack, and is often cultivated as bacterial leaf blight (blb) resistant check in India. Earlier we reported a recessive blb resistance gene mapped to the long arm of chromosome 5 in IET8585. To further understand the mechanism of recessive and durable resistance response, two indica rice genotypes namely, i) IET8585 (Ajaya), a disease resistant indica veriety from India and ii) IR24, a bacterial leaf blight disease susceptible genotype were selected for this study. We used the 22K rice Oligoarray from Agilent technologies to study the transcript profile in the leaves of the two contrasting rice genotypes under inoculated and un-inoculated conditions during seedling stage. Experiment Overall Design: We used Agilent rice gene chips (G4138A) to investigate the transcript level changes in rice leaf tissues during bacterial pathogen infection. We used two contrasting rice genotypes (IET8585 (Ajaya) blb resistant IR24 blb susceptible) differing in bacterial disease response. Plants were grown growth chambers and inoculated with bacterial pathogen on 18th DAS. Leaf sampling was done in both un-inoculated and inoculated plants at 3 time points. Two replications of microarray experiments were carried out by hybridizing the resistant samples against the susceptible samples.

Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis of the root transcriptional response to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum (FOV) race 4 (FOV4) infection in Gossypium barbadense, also known as Pima cotton. Susceptible Gossypium barbadense inbred lines Pima S-7 (PI 560140) and Pima 3-79 susceptible to Fusarium wilt [Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum (FOV)] race 4 (FOV4), and Pima S-6 (PI 608346) which is resistant to FOV4 infection, were used for the preparation of cDNA libraries and further RNA-seq analyses. An isolate of FOV4 (FOV CA-14) from a naturally infested field in Fresno County in the San Joaquin Valley, California was used in this study.
Project description:The aim of the study was to identify candidate genes responsible for drought tolerance trait between a pair of wheat varieties ( WL711 and C306) and correspondng progeny bulks (10 drought susceptible RILs and 10 drought tolerant RILs) by combining QTLs analysis with expression analysis. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the flag leaves showed large number of differentially expressed genes. The number of differentially expressed genes was reduced to 37 on the basis of their occurance in a major QTL region (responcible for drought tolerance) detected in RIL population derived from WL711 and C306. RNA from the reproductive stage flag leaf of wheat in irrigated and drought condition of drought susceptible parent WL711, drought tolerant parent C306 and drought susceptible and drought tolerant RIL bulks were analysed in three different biological replications (A , B and C) making total twenty four samples
