RNA-seq of N. gansuense-infected (E+) vs. non-infected (E-) A. inebrians. RNA-seq of N. gansuense-infected (E+) vs. non-infected (E-) A. inebrians

The molecular regulation mechanisms involved in stress tolerance remain largely unknown. Drunken horsegrass (Achnatherum inebrians), an important perennial bunchgrass in China, forms a naturally occurring symbiosis with an asexual symbiotic fungus Neotyphodium gansuense.To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in the low temperature resistance of E+ drunken horsegrass, Solexa deep-sequencing was used to identify candidate genes showing differential expression.
