Gibberella zeae Ascospore Production and Collection for Microarray Experiments.

¹Cereal Disease Laboratory, USDA, ²University of Minnesota/ Agroinnova, University of Torino, ³Cereal Disease Laboratory, University of Minnesota

To study the developmental processes of ascospores in Gibberella zeae, a procedure for collection under sterile conditions is filmed in order to generate the highest level of information for protocol description. This should facilitate the reproducibility of the experiment, a crucial aspect when full genome expression profile tests are implemented.

Protein extraction for proteomic analyses in fungal species requires high levels of standardization to be accomplished according with the minimum information about a proteomic experiment (MIAPE) guidelines. We present a video-protocol that includes a procedure for minimizing experimental bias during toxin induction and protein extraction from Fusarium spp.
