Digital gene expression profiling of the transcriptional response to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and its antagonistic bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in soybean.

ABSTRACT: Soybean Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a common disease in soybean, and effective biological control is urgently needed. We have previously confirmed that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens can effectively antagonize S. sclerotiorum in a plate competition experiment and a soybean seedling inoculation experiment. In this study, the mechanisms underlying plant death caused by S. sclerotiorum and soybean resistance to S. sclerotiorum induced by B. amyloliquefaciens were evaluated. The stems of potted soybean seedlings were inoculated with S. sclerotiorum (Gm-Ss), B. amyloliquefaciens (Gm-Ba), and their combination (Gm-Ba-Ss), using scratch treatments as a control, followed by dual RNA sequencing and bioinformatics ana
