Chestnut resistance to the blight disease: insights from transcriptome analysis

Abstract: BackgroundA century ago, Chestnut Blight Disease (CBD) devastated the American chestnut. Backcross breeding has been underway to introgress resistance from Chinese chestnut into surviving American chestnut genotypes. Development of genomic resources for the family Fagaceae, has focused in this project on Castanea mollissima Blume (Chinese chestnut) and Castanea dentata (Marsh.) Borkh (American chestnut) to aid in the backcross breeding effort and in the eventual identification of blight resistance genes throug… Show more

“…Following 2 chloroform extractions, RNA was precipitated with LiCl 2 ,again extracted with chloroform and precipitated with ethanol. The resulting RNA pellet was resuspended in 20-100 μL of DEPC-treated water (Barakat et al, 2012). RNA concentration analysis on a Qubit TM fluorometer (www.invitrogen.com/qubit) to showed a total yield of RNA sample.…”

“…The high number of reads generated per run together with the low sequencing error rate in the contigs obtained makes it a good tool to deeply sequence the transcriptome of plants. This approach has been used successfully for analyzing the transcriptomes of maize and Arabidopsis and have applied it to the non-model tree species Castanea dentata and C. mollissima (Collins et al, 2008;Barakat et al, 2009Barakat et al, , 2012.…”

“…Computational analysis of the transcriptomes generated from chestnut blight cankers and healthy tissues revealed ESTs preferentially expressed during canker development in both Chinese chestnut and American chestnut and provided a list of potential candidate genes for blight resistance (Barakat et al 2009(Barakat et al , 2012. The collection of ESTs was analyzed for both SSR and SNP markers to develop a highly informative genetic map.…”
