The aim of this experiment was to investigate the transcriptomic variation within Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei during infection of Barley. SOLiD RNA-seq data was generated for 6 samples, three from the epiphytic hyphae and three from the haustoria within the epidermis.
Arabidopsis is a host to the fungal powdery mildew pathogen, Erysiphe cichoracearum, and a nonhost to Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei, the powdery mildew pathogenic on barley. A screen for mutants that allowed increased entry by this inappropriate or nonhost pathogen on Arabidopsis led to the identif...
Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei is an obligate biotrohic fungal pathogen causing powdery mildew in barley. As for other biotrophic fungi, haustorial structures are at the centre of the biotrophic interaction and molecular exchanges, delivering fungal effectors or virulence factors, and taking nutrien...
