摘要
DNA微阵列技术是近年来发展起来的一种功能基因组学研究技术。随着这项新技术的建立和日趋完善及其在植物病理学研究中的应用,为病原细菌致病机理的研究带来了新思路并开辟了新途径。利用DNA微阵列技术,检测病原细菌在不同生长条件下和在侵染植物过程中的基因转录谱,可以从基因组水平上鉴定出新的与毒性和适应性相关的基因及其表达调控网络,有助于阐明这些基因的生物学功能及其机理。本文结合本实验室近几年来的相关研究结果,综述DNA微阵列技术在病原细菌转录谱研究中应用的最新进展。
DNA microarray technique is one of the most powerful and innovative technologies for functional genomic researches. With the increasing development and application in plant pathology, the technique provides us the innovative idea and new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of bacterial pathogens. Transcriptional profiling of the pathogens under in vitro and in vivo growth conditions revealed by DNA microarray analysis resulted in the identification of virulence- and adaptation-related genes and their regulatory networks, which is valuable to elucidate the biological functions of differentially-expressed genes. This paper has reviewed the latest progress in application of DNA microarray technology in the transcriptional profiling of pathogenic bacteria in combination with the related researches in authors' laboratory in the past years.
