Integrative RNA-Seq analysis of Capsicum annuum L.-Phytophthora capsici L. pathosystem reveals molecular cross-talk and activation of host defence response.

ABSTRACT: Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is economically one of the most important spice. But, it's productivity is highly affected by the pathogen, Phytophthora capsici L. Our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms associated with the defence response in C. annuum-P. capsici pathosystem is limited. The current study used RNA-seq technology to dissect the genes associated with defence response against P. capsici infection in two contrasting landraces, i.e. GojamMecha_9086 (Resistant) and Dabat_80045 (Susceptible) exposed to P. capsici infection. The transcriptomes from four leaf samples (RC, RI, SC and SI) of chili pepper resulted in a total of 118,879 assembled transcripts along with 52,384 pooled unigenes. The enrichment analysis of th
