Transciptomic analysis of maize response to the attack of Sesamia nonagrioides

We performed a transcriptomic analysis to identify genes differentially transcribed in the maize stem upon corn borer feeding and treatment with insects regurgitates by using the MACE (Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends) technology. Overall design: Two comparisons were performed: Insect chewing vs control and Regurgitate+wounding vs wounding in three biological replicates per treatment
