Beijing University of Agriculture 3 articles published in JoVE Genetics Genome-wide Analysis of Histone Modifications Distribution using the Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing Method in Magnaporthe oryzae Zechi Wu*1, Wanyu Sun*1, Sida Zhou1, Li Zhang1, Xinyu Zhao1, Yang Xu1, Weixiang Wang1 1Beijing Key Laboratory of New Technology in Agricultural Application, National Demonstration Center for Experimental Plant Production Education, Department of Agronomy, Beijing University of Agriculture Here, we present a protocol to analyze the genome-wide distribution of histone modifications, which can identify new target genes in the pathogenesis of M. oryzae and other filamentous fungi. Genetics Transforming, Genome Editing and Phenotyping the Nitrogen-fixing Tropical Cannabaceae Tree Parasponia andersonii Titis A.K. Wardhani1,2, Yuda Purwana Roswanjaya1,2, Simon Dupin1,3, Huchen Li1,4, Sidney Linders1, Marijke Hartog1, Rene Geurts1, Arjan van Zeijl1 1Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Department of Plant Sciences, Wageningen University & Research, 2Center of Technology for Agricultural Production, Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), 3Department of Ecological Science, Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, 4Beijing Advanced Innovation Center for Tree Breeding by Molecular Design, Beijing University of Agriculture Parasponia andersonii is a fast-growing tropical tree that belongs to the Cannabis family (Cannabaceae) and can form nitrogen-fixing root nodules in association with the rhizobium. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for reverse genetic analyses in P. andersonii based on Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated stable transformation and CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing. Environment The Plant Infection Test: Spray and Wound-Mediated Inoculation with the Plant Pathogen Magnaporthe Grisea Mengyu Zhang*1, Xuan Sun*1, Lie Cui1, Yue Yin1, Xinyu Zhao1, Song Pan2, Weixiang Wang1 1Beijing Key Laboratory of New Technology in Agricultural Application, National Demonstration Center for Experimental Plant Production Education, Beijing University of Agriculture, 2College of Plant Protection, State Key Laboratory of Agrobiotechnology, Ministry of Agriculture Key Laboratory of Pest Monitoring and Green Management, China Agricultural University Here, we present a protocol to test plant virulence with the plant pathogen Magnaporthe grisea. This report will contribute to the large-scale screening of the pathotypes of fungi isolates and serve as an excellent starting point for understanding the resistant mechanisms of plants during molecular breeding.
