Dual RNA-seq of Gymnosporangium yamadae inoculated apple leaves and mock-inoculated apple leaves at 10 dpi and 30 dpi

To under the molecular mechanism underlying the compatible interaction between Gymnosporangium yamadae and apple leaves, we investaged the transcriptomes of both G. yamadae and inoculated apple leaves, respectively at 10 dpi and 30 dpi. Large number of transcripts were expressed at each condition, and differentially expressed genes in comparison between inoculated apple leaves and mock-inoculated apple leaves were investigated to identify the host response to rust infection at different time points. Meanwhile, genes expressed in G. yamadae were also analyzed to find genes specific to each life cycle stage and host plant.
