Project description:The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches (strain ATCC201684) on the legume model Medicago truncatula (F83005-5 line) transcritpome.
Project description:Inoculation of Medicago truncatula roots with zoospores of the oomycetic pathogen Aphanomyces euteiches leads to rapid upregulation of a gene encoding a sesquiterpene synthase followed by release of sesquiterpenes that may have a defense function against A. euteiches.
