Transcriptome analyses of toxoflavin-dependent genes in Fusarium graminearum wild-type GZ03639 and toxoflavin-sensitive mutants

Bacterial pathogen Burkholderia glumae and fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum cause similar disease symptoms and often co-isolated from rice heads, inferring interactions between the two pathogens. F. graminearum is resistant to the bacterial toxin toxoflavin, a strong anti-microbial activity, produced by B. glumae. We isolated toxoflavin-sensitive mutants from transcription factor deletion mutant library of F. graminearum. To understand genome-wide transcriptional profiling, we performed RNA-seq analyses of F. graminearum wild-type strain GZ03639 and toxoflavin-sensitive mutant strains (∆GzZC190, ∆GzC2H008, ∆GzbZIP005) under toxoflavin condition. Four samples examined: Fusarium graminearum wild-type strain GZ03639 and three toxoflavin-sensitive mutant strains (∆GzZC190, ∆GzC2H008, ∆GzbZIP005). Two conditions: fungal cultures under toxoflavin condition and minimal media condition.
