Transcriptome sequencing of roots and stems of eggplant inoculated with Ralstonia solanacearum

BC01(bacterial wilt-resistant eggplant) and Rf (bacterial wilt-sensitive eggplant) were homozygous inbred lines collected from farmers in Guangxi. BC01 was a cultivated variety of eggplant with purple oval fruit, Rf was a cultivated variety of eggplant with purple long fruit.The roots and stems of BC01 and Rf were sequenced at four stages, namely the uninoculated, one day post-inoculation, early-stage post-inoculation, and at the peak of disease onset. Rf showed one withered leaf, while BC01 showed no symptom of wilting. At the peak stage of disease onset, Rf showed three or more withered leaves, whereas BC01 showed no symptom of wilting. This was repeated twice and a total of 32 samples were obtained. CK0 corresponded to the noninoculated Rf , which was sampled on the day of inoculation. T1, T2, and T3 corresponded to Rf one day post-inoculation, early-stage post-inoculation, and at peak stage of disease onset. CK1 corresponded to BC01 not inoculated with R. solanacearum, wherein sampling was done on the day of inoculation. T4, T5, and T6 corresponded to BC01 one day post-inoculation, early stage post-inoculation, and at peak stage of disease onset. Notably, -1 corresponded to roots, while -2 corresponded to stems.
