Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of maize (Zea mays c.v. Nathan) plants infected by Colletotrichum graminicola strains.

ABSTRACT: In order to characterize defense responses not only cytologically, but also on the transcript level, genome-wide sequencing of mRNA isolated from non-infected control leaves and from leaves inoculated either with the WT or with GLS1 overexpressing strains was performed, using Illumina Next Generation Sequencing Technology. In order to identify transcripts specifically induced in leaves infected by β-1,3-glucan-exposing strains, transcript patterns of leaves inoculated with GLS1 overexpressing PtrpC:GLS1 strains were compared with those of the WT. In PtrpC:GLS1-inoculated leaves, a total of 2179 genes were more than 2.5-fold increased, with many genes known as genes typically up-regulated in PAMP-triggered defense responses. These genes include genes encoding PR proteins enzymes involved i
