Disease-specific expression of host genes during downy mildew infection of Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Here we report on the identification of Arabidopsis genes that are induced during compatible but not during incompatible interactions with the downy mildew pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. This set of so-called compatible specific (CS) genes contrasts the large group of defence-associated genes that is differentially expressed during both compatible and incompatible interactions. From the 17 identified CS-genes, 6 belong to the ERF family of transcription factor genes, suggesting that these ERFs have a role during compatibility. The majority of CS-genes are differentially regulated in response to various forms of abiotic stress. In silico analysis of the CS-genes revealed an over-representation of DREB1A/CBF3 binding sites and EveningElement motifs in their promoter regions. The CS
