129 <td>For this library four-week-old plants were
130 inoculated with the Pst(avrPto) strain and the leaves
131 were harvested. Two plants were used for each
132 time-point as follows. High inoculation level:
133 10<small><sup>8</sup></small> cfumL of Pst(avrPto).
134 Equal amounts of leaves were harvested at 0, 2, 4, 6,
135 and 8 hours after inoculation. Low inoculation level:
136 10<small><sup>5</sup></small> cfumL of Pst(avrPto).
137 Equal amounts of leaves were harvested at 0, 12, 24,
138 36, and 48 hours after inoculation. High bacterial
139 titre gives no HR on R11-12, but results in disease
140 symptoms beginning at about 48 hours after
141 inoculation. Low bacterial titre gives no HR on
142 R11-12, but results in disease symptoms beginning at
143 about 48 hours after inoculation. Keeping leaves from
144 each line separate, equal amounts of leaves from each
145 time-point were pooled and used to extract polyA RNA
146 using Promega's polyATract mRNA isolation system.
147 Stratagene's Zap-cDNA synthesis kit was used to
148 prepare cDNA. The cDNA was cloned into Uni-ZAP XR
149 vector using the EcoRI site at the 5' end and the
150 XhoI site at the 3' end. When a sample of each
151 library was plated on NZY agar plates containing IPTG
152 and X-gal, the white:blue colony ratio was about
153 100:1. After mass excision, twenty-five clones from
154 each library were picked randomly and characterized.
155 All 50 clones contained inserts with sizes ranging
156 from 0.5 Kb to more than 3 Kb (avg=1 Kb). The 5' ends
157 of 14 random clones were sequenced (7 from each
158 library). The EcoRI site was altered/missing in 11 of
159 the clones. We expect the R11-12 library will contain
160 cDNAs corresponding to genes that are induced by the
161 hypersensitive response and during "field"
162 resistance. The R11-13 library is expected to contain
163 cDNAs corresponding to genes that are induced during
164 the disease susceptibility response.</td>
