Evolutionarily conserved bacterial effectors hijack abscisic acid signaling to induce an aqueous microenvironment in the apoplast. Evolutionarily conserved bacterial effectors hijack abscisic acid signaling to induce an aqueous microenvironment in the apoplast

Purpose: The goal of this study is to compare NGS-derived Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome profiling (RNA-Seq) obtained from tissues infected with a variety of Pseudomonas syryingae effector mutants to better understand their impact on their host's transcriptional program. We report the application of RNA-sequencing technology (Illumina Hi-Seq) for high-throughput profiling Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptomes upon infection with the model pathogen Pseudomonas syringae (wild-type and mutants). Overall design: Examination of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Col-0 infected with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (wild-type, hopm1-, avre1- and hopm1-/avre1-).
