Project description:The tomato SlWRKY3 transcription factor was overexpressed in cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)and transgenic plants transcriptome was compared to that of wild-type plants.
Project description:The tomato SlWRKY3 transcription factor was overexpressed in cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)and transgenic plants transcriptome was compared to that of wild-type plants. At least 4 plants were collected for RNA extraction. The aim of the experiment was to compare transcriptomes of 35::SlWRKY3 plants and wild-type plants grown together and on MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium in vitro for 4 weeks. A technical replicate (dye swap) was conducted.
Project description:Trichoderma harzianum T34 is a fungal strain able to promote the plant growth and to increase plant defense responses. Trichoderma harzianum transformants expressing the amdS gene, encoding an acetamidase, of Aspergillus nidulans produce a higher plant development than the wild type T34. We used microarrays to analyze the physiological and biochemical changes in tomato plants produced as consequence of interaction with Trichoderma harzianum T34 and amdS transformants
