Transcriptome Analysis of Tomato Genotypes in Response to Bacterial spot (Xanthomonas perforans) Race T4 Inoculation. Transcriptome Analysis of Tomato Genotypes in Response to Bacterial spot (Xanthomonas perforans) Race T4 Inoculation

Purpose: Investigate genes associated to resistance of Xanthomonas perforans race T4 in tomato line with different resistance level Methods: Resistant and susceptible tomato breeding lines were subjected to the inoculation with Xanthomonas perforans race T4 followed by sample collection at 48 hpi and RNA-seq analysis for screening differential expressed genes associated with inoculation of pathogen. Results: Revealed gene expression profiles associated disease resistance and susceptiblilty. Overall design: Resistant and susceptible tomato breeding lines were subjected to the inoculation with Xanthomonas perforans race T4 followed by sample collection at 48 hpi and RNA-seq analysis for screening differential expressed genes associated with inoculation of pathogen.
