Plants also have parasites, such as aphids, white aphids, and black aphids, which cannot survive without plants. Since all herbivores are parasites of plants, they cannot be called parasites individually. Plant parasitic nematodes can parasitize various plant tissues, stunting the plant and infecting the host while spreading other plant pathogens, causing disease symptoms in the plant. These include root-knot nematodes, pine wood nematodes, soybean cysts, and stem nematodes. Plants also have parasitic plants, such as dodder, Lydia, serpentine, mistletoe, mulberry, and rootless vine. They are the "parasites" of the plant kingdom, and they live by absorbing nutrients from their host plants, causing them to gradually die.
Ace Therapeutics provides multi-omics services for plant parasites, including but not limited to genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and single-cell omics. The application of high-throughput sequencing technology has brought the study of plant parasitology to a deeper level. Each step from sample extraction, library construction, sequencing/assay to data analysis is scientifically and meticulously designed.
1. Genomics
Plant parasite genomes allow comparison of inter/intra-species differences and can provide information on their evolution, virulence, resistance loci, and immune evasion. We provide genomic sequencing services for plant parasites, including but not limited to whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing.
2. Transcriptomics
Transcriptomics identifies genes that must be expressed for parasite growth and development, survival within the host, or symbiosis with the host, and is the basis for studying the physiology and pathogenesis of plant parasites. High-throughput transcriptome sequencing allows us to comprehensively and specifically analyze the inter-individual gene expression differences of plant parasites, as well as to annotate genes, and then study the transcriptional regulatory network in detail and efficiently explore functional genes. This will provide a strong basis for parasite control drug targets and vaccine research. Our transcriptome sequencing services include but are not limited to scRNA-seq, mRNA-seq, lncRNA-seq, circRNA-seq, small RNA-seq, whole transcriptome sequencing, and comparative transcriptome sequencing.
3. Metabolomics
In the study of plant parasite metabolomics, the main processes are nutrient sources and digestive metabolic processes of plant parasites, plant parasites and drug action, symbiotic/parasitic metabolic reactions of plant parasites and hosts (aphids, etc.), and host-parasite interactions, identification of bio-diagnostic markers, etc. The main focus is on the analysis of metabolite composition and abundance, dynamic processes of metabolite changes, metabolic pathways, and networks of metabolites in animal parasites under specific conditions. To provide new ideas for molecular markers of plant parasites, new drug design, vaccine development, etc. We provide targeted and untargeted metabolomics services for plant parasites so you to study plant parasites at a deeper level.
