Transcriptome analysis of kiwifruit under different environmental temperatures

To further elucidate the mechanisms underlying this temperature-dependent basal resistance in kiwifruit, RNA-seq was performed to determine the effect of temperature on global transcriptional reprogramming in kiwifruit during Psa infection. Kiwifruit leaves following vacuum infiltration inoculation with Psa were placed at 16 centigrade and 24 centigrade, respectively, and samples were collected 24 h to avoid the effect of different bacterial population densities in the plants, and subsequently analyzed by RNA-seq.
