Meta-analysis of fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum infection-related gene profiles using transcriptome datasets.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium oxysporum is a serious soil-borne fungal pathogen that affects the production of many economically important crops worldwide. Recent reports suggest that this fungus is becoming the dominant species in soil and could become the main infectious fungus in the future. However, the infection mechanisms employed by F. oxysporum are poorly understood. In the present study, using a network meta-analysis technique and public transcriptome datasets for different F. oxysporum and plant interactions, we aimed to explore the common molecular infection strategy used by this fungus and to identify vital genes involved in this process. Principle component analysis showed that all the fungal culture samples from different datasets were clustered together, and were clearly sep
