Analysis of differential transcript expression in chickpea during compatible and incompatible interactions with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris Race 4.

ABSTRACT: The present study reports the transcriptome analysis of resistance (WR315) and susceptible (JG62) genotypes of chickpea in response to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc) race 4 using the method of suppression subtractive hybridization. Altogether, 162 chickpea-expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were identified from two libraries and analyzed to catalog eight functional categories. These ESTs could be assembled into 18 contigs and 144 singletons with 10 contigs and 68 singletons from compatible and 8 contigs and 70 singletons from incompatible interaction. The largest category consisted of ESTs which encode for proteins related to hypothetical proteins (22.8%), followed by energy and metabolism (20.3%)-related genes, defense and cell rescue-related genes (17.9%) and signal transduction-rel
