Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Fungal Pathogen Bipolaris maydis to Understand Pathogenicity Behavior on Resistant and Susceptible Non-CMS Maize Genotypes.

ABSTRACT: Bipolaris maydis is pathogen of maize which causes maydis leaf blight disease. In India major losses occur due to the B. maydis race "O" pathogen, whereas in other parts of the world, major losses are due to the race "T" pathogen. In the present study, we conducted an in planta transcriptomics study of the B. maydis race "O" pathogen after infection on non-CMS maize resistant and susceptible genotypes by mRNA sequencing to understand the molecular basis of pathogenicity for better management of the pathogen. Approximately 23.4 GB of mRNA-seq data of B. maydis were obtained from both resistant and susceptible maize backgrounds for fungus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis of B. maydis in two different genetic backgrounds suggested that
