Differential gene expression in roots of tcp9 and tcp20 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana upon Heterodera schachtii infection as measured by RNAseq. Differential gene expression in roots of tcp9 and tcp20 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana upon Heterodera schachtii infection as measured by RNAseq

We compared the gene expression of wild-type Col-0, tcp9, tcp20, and the double mutant tcp9tcp20. We either infected or mock-infected the plants with the beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii and measured the root transcriptome after 24, 48, and 72 hours post infection using RNA-seq. The aim of the experiment was to determine whether the tcp mutatants affected gene expression patterns induced by nematode infection.
