Gland Sequencing of the Soybean Cyst Nematode

The goal of this project was to develop a transcriptomic resource to use for effector discovery in early parasitic stages of the soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines). To identify effector transcripts and variation involved in the host parasite exchange, we extracted Heterodera glycines gland cells from an avirulent PA3 nematode and a virulent MM10 nematode and sequenced the RNA.
