Citrus medica Transcriptome or Gene expression. Citrus medica

The main objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of a severe isolate of CEVd on gene expression of Etrog citron plants was performed not only in late (post-symptomatic) stages of infection but also in early (pre-symptomatic) stages. A genome-wide 20K cDNA mycroarray of citrus was used. Overall design: Four replicates for each sample category (time-point 0: healthy plants; time-point 1: infected plants at the symptomless stage; time-point 2: infected plants at the symptomatic stage) were generated and compared by a reference design .
