Genomic survey of NPF and NRT2 transporter gene families in five inbred maize lines and their responses to pathogens infection. Genomic survey of NPF and NRT2 transporter gene families in five inbred maize lines and their responses to pathogens infection

To further confirm whether the expression of NRT genes were influenced by pathogen infection, maize leaves were sampled at 0h, 24h, 40h, 60h and 96h post inoculation with wild-type strain Colletotrichum graminicola, the causing agent of maize anthracnose disease. Overall design: Maize leaves were sampled at 0h, 24h, 40h, 60h and 96h post inoculation with wild-type strain Colletotrichum graminicola, the causing agent of maize anthracnose disease.
