Leptosphaeria maculans gene expression during in vitro growth after silencing of DMM1, a gene involved in chromatin remodelling

The transcriptome of Leptosphaeria maculans was analysed in mycelium of the wild type isolate v23.1.3 or in a transformant silenced for DMM1, a gene encoding an enzyme involved in chromatin remodelling. The array probes were designed from gene models from the L. maculans whole genome annotation. The aim of this study was to characterise the effect of chromatin remodelling on gene expression during in vitro growth. We performed 3 hybridizations (NimbleGen) with samples derived from mycelium of a transformant silenced for DMM1 . Three replicates each. All samples were labeled with Cy3.
