Project description:Transcriptome analysis reveals the response mechanism of Frl-mediated resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL) infection in tomato
Project description:Pyrenochaeta lycopersici causes corky root disease of tomato. A comparative RNA-Seq-based transcriptome analysis was conducted at 96 hpi (hours post infection) on two tomato cultivars: the resistant Mogeor and its genetic background, susceptible Moneymaker to investigate the differences in their transcripts and identify the molecular bases of this plant-pathogen interaction and gain hints over resistance mechanisms.
