Project description:Clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) is a pathogen of Brassicaceae that causes significant reductions in yield as a consequence of gall formation in the root and hypocotyl of infected plants. The pathogen manipulates host cell cycle regulation in order to drive proliferation in early stages of infection and endoreduplication in later stages. Microarrays were used to profile changes in the expression of cell cycle control components at the onset (16 DPI) and late (26 DPI) stages of gall formation.
Project description:Arabipdosis thaliana (ecotype Col-0) was infected with the root pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. Gene expression of the host plant has been analyzed at two time points after inoculation (10 and 23 days after inoculation) compared to the correspondend control plants.
