Integrative transcriptome analysis revealed the pathogenic molecular basis of <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> AG-3 TB at three progressive stages of infection.

ABSTRACT: Rhizoctonia solani has a broad host range and results in significant losses in agricultural production. Here, an integrated transcriptomic analysis was performed to reveal the critical genes responsible for the pathogenesis of R. solani AG-3 TB on Nicotiana tabacum at different infection stages. The results showed that various differential expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in fatty acid metabolism, amino sugar, carbon metabolism, and cellular carbohydrate biosynthetic process at the early (6-12 hpi), middle (24-36 hpi), and late stage (48-72 hpi) of infection. Specifically, several critical genes such as shikimate kinase that were involved in the biosynthesis of an important fungal toxin, phenylacetic acid (PAA) showed markedly increase at 24 hpi. Additionally, the
