De Novo Transcriptome analysis of eggplant leaves inoculated with Glomus macrocarpum and Funneliformis mosseae fungi

The aim of this project is to conduct a de novo transcriptome analysis of eggplant leaves that have been inoculated with two specific fungal species, Glomus macrocarpum and Funneliformis mosseae. By analyzing the complete set of RNA molecules in the leaves, the researchers aim to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationship between the fungi and the eggplant plants. By comparing the gene expression profiles of infected and uninfected plants, the researchers can gain insights into the signaling pathways and molecular dialogue that occur during the symbiotic interaction. The findings can potentially contribute to the development of innovative strategies for improving agricultural practices, such as enhancing nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and reducing the reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides
