Transcriptome analysis of response to Plasmodiophora brassicae infection in the Arabidopsis shoot and root.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clubroot is an important disease caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae that infects the Brassicaceae. As a soil-borne pathogen, P. brassicae induces the generation of abnormal tissue in the root, resulting in the formation of galls. Root infection negatively affects the uptake of water and nutrients in host plants, severely reducing their growth and productivity. Many studies have emphasized the molecular and physiological effects of the clubroot disease on root tissues. The aim of the present study is to better understand the effect of P. brassicae on the transcriptome of both shoot and root tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana.

Results

Transcriptome profiling using RNA-seq was performed on both shoot and root tissues at 17, 20 and 24 days post inoc
