RNA seq of MBL1.1A OE vs WC (mock, 12, 24, 48 hpi)

Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae is a devastating soil-borne plant vascular disease affecting a wide range of herbaceous annuals and woody perennials. Cotton, a major economic crop, is particularly susceptible to this disease. Although the positive role of GbMBL1.1A as a lectin receptor-like protein (LecRLP) in cotton resistance against V. dahliae is evident, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive and warrant further investigation.To measure the biological changes caused by the overexpression of MBL1.1A in cotton, an RNA-seq experiment was performed to measure the transcriptome changes between the cotton recipient line (WT) and MBL1.1A-OE transgenic line (OE-57), under normal and V. daliae-infected conditions at 12, 24, and 48 hpi.
