Transcriptome Analysis of Wheat-Tilletia indica Interaction Provides Defense and Pathogenesis-Related Genes.

ABSTRACT: Karnal bunt (Tilletia indica Mitra) is an internationally quarantined disease of wheat. Until now, very little information has been available on the molecular basis of resistance and pathogenicity of T. indica. To investigate the molecular basis of host−pathogen interaction, the transcriptome of T. indica inoculated resistant (HD29) and susceptible (WH542) genotypes of wheat were analyzed. Approximately 58 million reads were generated using RNA sequencing by the Illumina NextSeq500 platform. These sequence reads were aligned to a reference genome of wheat to compare the expression level of genes in resistant and susceptible genotypes. The high-quality reads were deposited in the NCBI SRA database (SRP159223). More than 80,000 genes were expressed in both the resistant and susceptible wheat
