Gene Expression Changes during the Gummosis Development of Peach Shoots in Response to Lasiodiplodia theobromae Infection Using RNA-Seq

Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a causal agent of peach (Prunus persica L.) tree gummosis, a serious disease affecting peach cultivation and production. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis remains unclear. RNA-Seq was performed to investigate gene expression in peach shoots inoculated or mock-inoculated with L. theobromae. A total of 20772 genes were detected in eight sampl...

Novel Resorcinol Derivatives from Lasiodiplodia theobromae

Two novel resorcinol derivatives were isolated from the mycelium of Lasiodiplodia theo­ bromae IFO 31059 as potato micro-tuber inducing compounds. Their structures were estab­ lished by spectroscopic methods as ethyl (6 ' 7?)-2,4-dihydroxy-6-(6'-hydroxyheptyl)benzoate (8) and isobutyl (6 ' /?)-2.4-dihydroxy-6-(6'-hydroxyheptyl)benzoate (9). The absolute stereo­ chemistry of the asymmetric cente...

RNA-Seq-based monitoring of infection-linked changes in Vibrio cholerae gene expression.

Pathogens adapt to the host environment by altering their patterns of gene expression. Microarray-based and genetic techniques used to characterize bacterial gene expression during infection are limited in their ability to comprehensively and simultaneously monitor genome-wide transcription. We used massively parallel cDNA sequencing (RNA-seq) techniques to quantitatively catalog the transcript...

RNA-Seq Reveals Infection-Related Gene Expression Changes in Phytophthora capsici

Phytophthora capsici is a soilborne plant pathogen capable of infecting a wide range of plants, including many solanaceous crops. However, genetic resistance and fungicides often fail to manage P. capsici due to limited knowledge on the molecular biology and basis of P. capsici pathogenicity. To begin to rectify this situation, Illumina RNA-Seq was used to perform massively parallel sequencing ...
