    Chilli leaf curl virus infection highlights the differential expression of genes involved in protein homeostasis and defense in resistant chilli plants
    (Springer, 2015) Kushwaha, Nirbhay; Sahu, Pranav Pankaj; Prasad, Manoj; Chakraborty, Supriya
    Geminiviruses have evolved with tremendous potential of recombination and possess the ability to manipulate several cellular processes of hosts. Chilli leaf curl virus (ChiLCV) is a monopartite Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) which has emerged as a serious threat to chilli production worldwide. To date, development of resistant chilli varieties through conventional plant breeding techniques remains the major antiviral strategy. To explore the potential resistance factors in Capsicum annuum var. Punjab Lal, we performed a transcriptome analysis in ChiLCV-infected plants by exploiting the advantage of sensitivity and efficiency of suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). Out of 480 clones screened, 231 unique expressed sequence tags (ESTs) involved in different cellular and physiological processes were identified. An interactome network of ChiLCV responsive differentially expressed genes revealed an array of proteins involved in key cellular processes including transcription, replication, photosynthesis, and defense. A comparative study of gene expression between resistant and susceptible chilli plants revealed upregulation of several defense-related genes such as nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) domain containing protein, lipid transfer protein, thionin, polyphenol oxidase, and other proteins like ATP/ADP transporter in the ChiLCV-resistant variety. Taken together, the present study provides novel insights into the transcriptomics of ChiLCV-resistant chilli plants.

    Modulation of transcription factor and metabolic pathway genes in response to water-deficit stress in rice
    (Springer Science, 2011) Ray, Swatismita; Dansana, Prasant K.; Giri, Jitender; Deveshwar, Priyanka; Arora, Rita; Agarwal, Pinky; Khurana, Jitendra P.; Kapoor, Sanjay; Tyagi, Akhilesh K.
    Water-deficit stress is detrimental for rice growth, development, and yield. Transcriptome analysis of 1-week-old rice (Oryza sativa L. var. IR64) seedling under water-deficit stress condition using Affymetrix 57 K GeneChip® has revealed 1,563 and 1,746 genes to be up- and downregulated, respectively. In an effort to amalgamate data across laboratories, we identified 5,611 differentially expressing genes under varying extrinsic water-deficit stress conditions in six vegetative and one reproductive stage of development in rice. Transcription factors (TFs) involved in ABA-dependent and ABA-independent pathways have been found to be upregulated during water-deficit stress. Members of zinc-finger TFs namely, C₂H₂, C₂C₂, C₃H, LIM, PHD, WRKY, ZF-HD, and ZIM, along with TF families like GeBP, jumonji, MBF1 and ULT express differentially under water-deficit conditions. NAC (NAM, ATAF and CUC) TF family emerges to be a potential key regulator of multiple abiotic stresses. Among the 12 TF genes that are co-upregulated under water-deficit, salt and cold stress conditions, five belong to the NAC TF family. We identified water-deficit stress-responsive genes encoding key enzymes involved in biosynthesis of osmoprotectants like polyols and sugars; amino acid and quaternary ammonium compounds; cell wall loosening and structural components; cholesterol and very long chain fatty acid; cytokinin and secondary metabolites. Comparison of genes responsive to water-deficit stress conditions with genes preferentially expressed during panicle and seed development revealed a significant overlap of transcriptome alteration and pathways.
