Identification and characterization of pathogenicity-related genes of <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> AG3 during tobacco infection.

ABSTRACT: Tobacco target spot disease is caused by a ubiquitous soil-borne phytopathogen Rhizoctonia solani; the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the effects of R. solani remain unclear. Deeper understanding of the functional responses to R. solani during host plant infection would help identify the molecular mechanisms essential for successful host invasion. In this study, we performed global transcriptional analysis of R. solani during various stages (12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h) of tobacco infection via an RNA sequencing method, while utilizing the pathosystem model R. solani AG3-tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). After R. solani inoculation, the number of differentially expressed genes of R. solani differed at the various time points.
