Global-gene expression of Phytophthora phaseoli

ABSTRACT: Lima bean is an important vegetable processing crop to the Mid-Atlantic U.S. and is highly susceptible to the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora phaseoli, which causes downy mildew. P. phaseoli resides in the same clade with the late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans. Genetic resistance and fungicides are used to manage P. phaseoli and often fail. Currently there are no molecular data on this pathosystem. To rectify this situation and determine virulence mechanisms in P. phaseoli we performed a whole-transcriptome analysis using Illumina mRNA-Seq. Six libraries were generated and compared, plate-grown and plant-grown. Our data were normalized and were matched to the P. infestans gene models to obtain the abundance of the sequence reads. This resulted in 10,427 P. phaseoli genes wi
