Transcriptomics exposes the uniqueness of parasitic plants.

چکیده
Parasitic plants have the ability to obtain nutrients directly from other plants, and several species are serious biological threats to agriculture by parasitizing crops of high economic importance. The uniqueness of parasitic plants is characterized by the presence of a multicellular organ called a haustorium, which facilitates plant-plant interactions, and shutting down or reducing their own photosynthesis. Current technical advances in next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics have allowed us to dissect the molecular mechanisms behind the uniqueness of parasitic plants at the genome-wide level. In this review, we summarize recent key findings mainly in transcriptomics that will give us insights into the future direction of parasitic plant research.

The rhizosphere is teemed with organisms that coordinate their symbioses using chemical signals traversing between the host root and symbionts. Chemical signals also mediate interactions between roots of different plants, perhaps the most obvious being those between parasitic Orobanchaceae and their plant hosts. Parasitic plants use specific molecules provided by host roots to initiate the deve...
متن کاملI-10: Transcriptomics in Oocyte Mediated Cellular Reprogramming
a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:1707:"Early embryonic development in mammals begins in transcriptional silence with an oocyte-mediated transcriptional reprogramming of parental gametes occurs during a so called across-the-board process of “erase-and-rebuild”. In this process, the parental transcription programs are erased long before (maternal) or soon thereafter (paternal) fertilization to generate a...

متن کاملComparative Transcriptomics of the Saprobic and Parasitic Growth Phases in Coccidioides spp
Coccidioides immitis and C. posadasii, the causative agents of coccidioidomycosis, are dimorphic fungal pathogens, which grow as hyphae in the saprobic phase in the environment and as spherules in the parasitic phase in the mammalian host. In this study, we use comparative transcriptomics to identify gene expression differences between the saprobic and parasitic growth phases. We prepared Illum...
