Project description:Powdery mildew (PM) is one of the most important crop diseases, causing severe economic losses to cucumber production worldwide. However, there are few reports about the proteomic response to PM infection in resistant cucumber. To understand the molecular mechanisms, the iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics approach was employed to map the proteomes of resistant powdery mildew of the D8 (PM susceptible) and SSL508-28 (PM resistant segment substitution line) under PM inoculated (plants harvested 48 hours after inoculation) and PM non-inoculated (control) conditions.
Project description:We used two wheat genotypes, the susceptible wheat cultivar ‘8866 ’(S) and its near isogenic line with single powdery mildew resistance gene ‘pm30’ (R), to investigate gene expression changes in response to powdery mildew infection by using Wheat Genome Array
Project description:Purpose: The powdery mildew fungus, Blumeria graminis, is an obligate biotrophic pathogen of cereals and has significant impact on food security (Dean et al., 2012. Molecular Plant Pathology 13 (4): 414-430. DOI: 10.1111/j.1364-3703.2011.00783.x). Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh) is the causal agent of powdery mildew on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). We sought to identify small RNAs (sRNAs) from both barley and Bgh that regulate gene expression both within species and cross-kingdom.
Project description:We generated ChIP-Seq data for two barley accessions with different resistance to powdery mildew. These data allowed us to explore the roles of epigenetic modifications in resistance response to powdery mildew at the first time. Our study opens the way for establishing the relationship between epigenetics and disease response in barley, and should inform future functional characterization of the regarding molecular basis. These data should also help researchers to exploit disease response-related genes for breeding application.
Project description:Purpose: The powdery mildew fungus, Blumeria graminis, is an obligate biotrophic pathogen of cereals and has significant impact on food security (Dean et al., 2012). B. graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh) is the causal agent of powdery mildew on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). We sought to address the temporal regulation of membrane trafficking associated gene expression in barley-powdery mildew interactions. We created an isogenic panel of immune signaling mutants to address three main questions: (i) which Blumeria secreted proteins are differentially regulated in response to different compromised genotypes, (ii) which barley membrane trafficking genes are altered in response to pathogen attack, and (iii) how are these genes interacting across genotypes and infection stages.
Project description:We used two wheat genotypes, the susceptible wheat cultivar ‘8866 ’(S) and its near isogenic line with single powdery mildew resistance gene ‘pm30’ (R), to investigate gene expression changes in response to powdery mildew infection by using Wheat Genome Array wheat young leveas of near isogenic lines before or 12 hours after powdery mildew infection were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.The leaf samples were harvested from three independent biological replicates, and the leaves without inoculation were regarded as control.
Project description:There were two genotypes: (1) Columbia-0, wild-type (C) (2) pmr4-1 mutant (P), callose synthase deficient mutant (Vogel and Somerville (2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA 97: 1897). There were two treatments: (1) uninoculated (U) (2) 3 days after inoculation with the powdery mildew pathogen, Erysiphe cichoracearum, race UCSC (I). There were four biological replicates, labeled 1, 2, 3 or 4. Examples of the sample labels are: CU1 = Columbia-0, uninoculated, replicate 1 CI2 = Columbia-0, 3 days after inoculation with powdery mildew, replicate 2 PU3 = pmr4-1, uninoculated, replicate 3 PI4 = pmr4-1, 3 days after inoculation with powdery mildew, replicate 4. In total, there were 16 Affymetrix ATH1 GeneChips (2 genotypes x 2 treatments x 4 biological replicates). Keywords: repeat sample
