RNA-seq of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and opr2-1 mutants over four timepoints and (mock)infection with Meloidogyne incognita. RNA-seq of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 and opr2-1 mutants over four timepoints and (mock)infection with Meloidogyne incognita

We compared the gene expression of wild-type Col-0 and a T-DNA mutant SALK_116381C (opr2-1). We either infected or mock-infected the plants with the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and measured the root transcriptome after 0, 1, 4, and 7 days post infection using RNA-seq. The aim of the experiment was to determine whether opr2-1 affected gene expression patterns induced by nematode infection.
