Project description:To reannotate the genome of Zymoseptoria tritici IPO323, RNA-Seq and Iso-Seq runs were performed on different growth media to provide new source of evidence for gene model predictors. New gene models were predicted and combined with existing annotation releases. Finally, selection of best gene models was done by congruence with evidence data like transcript assembled from RNA-Seq, Iso-Seq cDNA and fungal proteins from databases.
Project description:We revealed that a rhamnolipid protects wheat against the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici. Foliar application of the biomolecule primes, during the early stages of infection, the expression of genes associated with different functional groups of genes.
