Characterization of Arabidopsis transcriptome responses to different aphid species reveals genes that contribute to host susceptibility and nonhost resistance

ABSTRACT: Background: Aphids are economically important pests and that display exceptional variation in host range. The underlying mechanism of diverse aphid host ranges are not well understood, but it is likely that molecular interactions are involved. With significant progress being made towards understanding host responses upon aphid attack, the mechanisms underlying nonhost resistance remain to be elucidated. Here, we investigated and compared Arabidopsis host and nonhost responses to aphids at the transcriptome level using three different aphid species. Results: Gene expression analyses revealed a surprising level of overlap in the overall gene expression changes during host and nonhost interactions with regards to the sets of genes differentially expressed and the direction of expression chan
