Comparative transcriptome analysis of susceptible rice IR24 inoculated with wild-type strain PXO99A relative to those of mutants of two host-induced carbohydrate metabolism enzyme-encoding genes, MxanA and Mimp

To decipher rice differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with Xoo virulence factors, xanA and imp, transcriptomic responses of MxanA-treated and Mimp-treated susceptible rice were compared to those in rice treated with the wild type PXO99A at 1 and 3 dpi. The results will provide an integrated and better understanding of Xoo-rice interactions from the molecular perspective.
