Project description:Plant response to pathogen infection varies within a leaf, yet this heterogeneity is not well resolved. We exposed Arabidopsis to Pseudomonas syringae or mock treatment and profiled the transcriptomes of 11,000 individual cells using single-cell RNA sequencing. Integrative analysis of cell populations from Pseudomonas and mock inoculated leaves identified five distinct pathogen responsive cell clusters exhibiting transcriptional responses ranging from immunity to susceptibility. Pseudotime analyses through pathogen infection revealed a continuum of disease progression from an immune to susceptible state. Confocal imaging of promoter reporter lines for pathogen responsive cell clusters visualized immune activated cell clusters surrounding substomatal cavities colonized by bacteria, suggesting immune clusters are sites of early pathogen invasion. Susceptibility cell clusters exhibited more general localization and were highly induced at later stages of infection. Overall, our work uncovers cellular heterogeneity within an infected leaf and provides unique insight into plant differential response to infection at a single-cell level.

Project description:Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) in plant cell walls inhibit fungal endopolygalacturonases (ePGs). Their action directly limits the effective ingress of the pathogen and is thought to lead to an up-regulated defense response. We previously showed that, PGIP activity, ePG inhibition and decreased Botrytis cinerea susceptibility were correlated in tobacco plants over-expressing grapevine (Vitis vinifera) Vvpgip1. In order to evaluate the base-line impact of PGIP over-expression, the transcriptome and hormone profiles of two transgenic lines with characterized resistance phenotypes were investigated in the absence of pathogen infection.
Project description:we analyzed pathogen-induced changes in the transcriptome of Vitis vinifera ‘Cabernet sauvignon’ and Vitis aestivalis ‘Norton’ by conducting a large-scale study to measure transcript abundance at 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-treatment in conidiospore- and mock-inoculated leaves using Affymetrix GeneChip Vitis vinifera Genome Array Keywords: time course
Project description:In this study, two independent large cohorts of mature dates exhibiting substantial diversity in origin, varieties and fruit processing conditions were measured by metabolomics techniques in order to identify major determinants of the fruit metabotype. Additional samples reflecting different stages of date fruit ripening process has been included for 10 different fruit varieties. This study includes updated date photographs and combined results data (GCMS/LCMS) and technical validation data, see downloadable files section to access this information.
Project description:We report the berry pericarp transcriptomic profiles of 5 red Vitis vinifera varieties: Sangiovese, Barbera, Negro amaro, Refosco and Primitivo at 4 growth stages: pea-sized berries (Bbch 75) at almost 20 days after flowering, berries beginning to touch (Bbch77) just prior véraison, the softening of the berries (Bbch 85) at the end of véraison and berries ripe for harvest (Bbch 89) mRNA profiles of 5 red grapevine varieties at 4 growth stages were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 1000.
Project description:MS-1 data of two varieties of wheat (Triticum sp.) under control and pathogen inoculated condition. C_NEG and I_NEG files represent MS-1 data in negative ion mode under Control and pathogen Inoculated conditions respectively. Similarly, C_POS and I_POS files represent MS-1 data in positive ion mode under Control and pathogen Inoculated conditions respectively.

Three microarray slides in total were hybridized: two slides using Vvpgip1 line 37 and WT, with a dye swap included to account for dye bias; and one slide using Vvpgip1 line 45 as test and WT as reference.
