Project description:The objective of this study was on the one hand to compare the transcriptional dynamics of mutualistic Colletotrichum tofieldiae and pathogenic Colletotrichum incanum during colonization of Arabidopsis roots and on the other hand also examine the corresponding host responses Arabidopsis seeds that were either untreated (mock) or inoculated with Colletotrichum tofieldiae (isolate 0861) or Colletotrichum incanum (isolate MAFF230704) were grown in normal (P+) or low (P-) phosphate conditions. Roots (with/without fungal colonization) were collected at 6, 10, 16, and 24 days post inoculation (dpi). Additionally, C. tofieldiae and C. incanum in vitro hyphae were collected after two days growth in liquid Mathurâs medium. For each condition three replicates were obtained.
