Studies on the biological role of the antifungal protein PeAfpA from Penicillium expansum by transcriptomic profiling

RNA sequencing evidenced a massive transcriptomic change linked to the onset of PeAfpA production for the wild type strain, which was confirmed in the ?afpA mutant. We identified two gene expression clusters putatively involved in PeAfpA function, which correspond to genes induced or repressed with the production of PeAfpA. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling of P. expansum CMP-1 strain and a ?afpA disruption mutant at time points just before and after PeAfpA production is detected
