Comparative transcriptome analysis of resistant, moderately resistant and susceptible wheat in response to Puccina striiformis tritici. null

Stripe rust also known as yellow rust is caused by a biotrophic fungal pathogen known as Puccinia striiformis f. sp.tritici (Pst). RNA seq technique was used to understand the wheat and stripe rust interaction in three different reaction types. Leaves samples of three Near Isogenic Lines (NILs) of wheat showing resistant/immune (R), moderately resistant (MR) and susceptible (S) responses were collected 48 and 72 hours after inoculation (hai).
