Comparative transcriptome analysis elucidates positive physiological effects of foliar application of pyraclostrobin on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).

ABSTRACT: Strobilurins, including pyraclostrobin have frequently been reported showing positive physiological effects in various agricultural crops apart from fungicidal activity. Present study elucidates comparative transcriptome analysis of control and pyraclostrobin treated tomato leaf and identifies metabolic pathways and key genes responsible for positive effects of pyraclostrobin on tomato. Pair-end raw reads, generated by Illumina Hi-seq platform were pre-processed and good quality reads were mapped onto tomato reference genome using HISAT2 alignment programme. Transcript assembly and quantification were performed using StringTie assembler. Differential Gene Expression analysis by DESeq2 identified 1,952 upregulated genes including genes encoding pathogenesis related proteins and 835 downregu
