Identification of candidate genes associated with resistance against race 0 of Colletotrichum lentis in Lens ervoides.

ABSTRACT: Resistance to anthracnose caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum lentis was explored through transcriptome sequencing over a period of 24 to 96 h post-inoculation (hpi) of the partially resistant recombinant inbred lines (RIL) LR-66-528 and susceptible LR-66-524 of the crop wild relative Lens ervoides population LR-66. The development of infection vesicles and primary hyphae by C. lentis were significantly higher on susceptible RIL LR-66-524 compared to partially resistant LR-66-528 at 24 and 48 hpi, but exponential trends in fungal growth were observed between 24 to 96 hpi in both RILs. Comparison of inoculated with mock-inoculated samples revealed 3091 disease responsive genes, among which 477 were differentially expressed between the two RILs. These were clustered into six express
