RNA-seq of infected Barley Mlo-5 Ror1 mutants and controls

Loss-of-function alleles of plant MLO genes confer broad-spectrum resistance to powdery mildews in many eudicot and monocot plant species. Forward genetic screens in barley have revealed mutations in two Required for mlo resistance (Ror) genes that partially impair immunity conferred by mlo mutants. While Ror2 encodes a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attached protein receptor (SNARE), the identity of Ror1, located at the pericentromeric region of barley chromosome 1H, remained elusive.The wild-type strains used in the study were H. vulgare Ingrid mlo-5 and mutants were different alleles of H. vulgare Ingrid mlo-5 ror1
