Transcriptome analysis of PKS gene deletion mutant and wild-type strains of Nigrospora oryzae

Nigrospora oryzae is an important fungal species associated with plant diseases and secondary metabolite production. Polyketide synthase (PKS) genes play critical roles in fungal secondary metabolism and biological functions.In this project, transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to compare gene expression profiles between a PKS gene deletion mutant and the wild-type strain of Nigrospora oryzae. Total RNA was extracted from both strains under the same culture conditions and subjected to high-throughput sequencing. The generated RNA-seq data aim to identify differentially expressed genes and regulatory pathways associated with PKS gene deletion, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying PKS-related functions in Nigrospora oryzae.
