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:Using a custom microarray platform, we examined expression of 366 genes in leaf, two peel tissues, juice sac, and whole fruit during various developmental stages of Washington Navel orange fruit (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck). 366 genes were chosen from Citrus EST libraries by in-silico analysis method. Keywords: time course and tissue comparison
Project description:To identify genes associated with citrus peel development and manifestation of peel disorders, we analyzed flavedo, albedo and juice sac tissues from five types of citrus fruit including, mandarin orange, navel orange, valencia orange, grapefruit and lemon.
Project description:The dataset for this project was to identify significantly changing proteins in the vasculature of Washington Navel (Citrus sinensis (L) Osbeck) during Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) infection. The navel trees were graft-inoculated with the Hacienda Heights, CA CLas strain (HHCA) and then sampled ten months after graft inoculation.
Project description:Navel orange trees were grafted with budwood infected with the citrus greening bacterium, 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', or control budwood, and leaf samples were collected every two weeks post graft for LC/MS analysis.
