Project description:Transcriptional changes occurring at the infection site of 2 weeks old Cabernet sauvignon grapevine cuttings infected with a wood pathogen (Phaeomoniella chlamydospora) in the presence of a root-inoculated biocontrol agent (Pythium oligandrum). Gene expression profiling was done using the Nimblegen whole genome array with 3 biological replicates of 3 pooled wood chunks harvested 0 and 14 d after treatment (pathogen infection, biocontrol agent inoculation, mock treatment).
Project description:Fungal entomopathogens like Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) are known as antagonist of insects with multiple functional and ecological roles and have attracted increased attention as biocontrol agents in integrated pest management programs. A microarray analysis was performed to work out fundamental aspects of genes involved in the interaction between grapevine and the endophytic fungus B. bassiana. The results indicate an up-regulation of diverse defense-related genes in grapevine as a response to a treatment with B. bassiana
Project description:To further understand the gene expression characteristics of originating biocontrol strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa M18, we have applied whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to to specify the temperature dependent expression of M18 genome at rhizosphere and human body temperature. We selected 28°C as temperature representative of the rhizosphere niches and 37°C for human body. The results from the temperature dependent transcriptome analysis are consistent to our previous published data that the phzM, ptsP and lasI genes expression is upregulated at 37°C. The comparison analysis of the M18 genome expressional profiles at 28°C and 37°C indicated a total of 605 gene expressed in a temperature dependent manner over about two fold at 28°C compared that at 37°C, covering 10.6% genes in M18 whole genome.

Cells were grown to OD600=5.0-6.0 (late exponential phase) in LB medium at 28℃ and 37℃, respectively. Three independent experiments were performed at each time.
