Functional studies of the rust resistance gene R11 in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq)

To investigate differntial gene expression patterns associated with R11-mediated resistance at different points after rust inoculation. Data analysis was performed using RNA-seq data of wild type and two mutant lines at three different time points. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for the rust resistant line R11-HA-R9 and R11-susceptible mutants.
