Sequence description and expression levels of candidate plant defense genes differentially expressed among lentil genotypes infected with Ascochyta lentis.

Sequence descriptions are from the BLASTx against RefSeq release 60 hits with the highest percentage of sequence identity. Gene symbols were extracted from the Arabidopsis information resource TAIR (http://www.arabidopsis.org). For genes with no gene symbol in TAIR, the abbreviation of sequence description was used. Fold change in gene expression was calculated by Cuffdiff software by dividing fragments per kb of exon per million mapped reads (FPKM) value of infected samples by that of non-infected sample collected before inoculation (mock). NA = A copy of PR-4a gene was absent in 964a-46. Hpi = hours post Ascochyta lentis inoculation. Gene IDs were generated using Cufflinks software and links data presented here to the transcript annotations in S1 File.
