Expression data from Ralstonia solanacearum-inoculated tomato stem

ABSTRACT: Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a lethal, soil-borne disease of tomato. Control of the disease with chemicals and crop rotation is insufficient, because the pathogen is particularly well adapted for surviving in the soil and rhizosphere. Therefore, cultivar resistance is the most effective means for controlling bacterial wilt, but the molecular mechanisms of resistance responses remain unclear. We used microarrays to obtain the characteristics of the gene expression changes that are induced by R. solanacearum infection in resistant cultivar LS-89 and susceptible cultivar Ponderosa. Seedlings of LS-89 and Ponderosa at the five to six leaf-stage were inoculated on their stems just above the cotyledon by cutting to one-third the stem depth with a knife, adding a drop of bac
