Transcriptome sequencing leads to an improved understanding of the infection mechanism of Alternaria solani in potato.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alternaria solani (A. solani), the main pathogen of potato early blight, causes serious yield reductions every year. The application of fungicides is the most common and effective method of controlling Alternaria-caused diseases. The differentially expressed transcripts of A. solani infecting potato were identified, revealing a group of valuable candidate genes for a systematic analysis to increase the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of A. solani, and providing scientific data for formulating additional measures to prevent and control potato early blight. In this study, a deep RNA-sequencing approach was applied to gain insights into A. solani pathogenesis. At 3, 4, and 5 days post inoculation (dpi), RNA samples from the susceptible potato cultivar Favorita i
