in field-grown grapevine leaves Transcriptome or Gene expression. Candidatus Phytoplasma vitis

The RNA-seq technology was successfully applied for the first time to analyse the flavescence dorée phytoplasma (FD) global transcriptome profile during grapevine infection. Our results provided new insights into the FD transcriptional organization and gene structure and may represent the starting point for the application of high-throughput sequencing technologies to study differential expression in FD and in other phytoplasmas with an unprecedented resolution.
