Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 isolate:Foc 38-1 Transcriptome or Gene expression. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 isolate:Foc 38-1

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris monoconidial isolated from chickpea (Patancheru, Hyderabad, India) was used for this study. The isolate represents the most virulent race of this formae specialis (race 1). For conidia production, Foc culture was grown in potato dextrose broth (PDB) at 25 °C with shaking at 120 rpm for 4 days. Total RNA was isolated from Foc culture at time points 0h, 2h, 6h and 24h selected based on progression of germ tube development.
