Gossypium hirsutum Root Transcriptome or Gene expression

This study is intended to define the root transcriptome of upland cotton, and compare gene expression of susceptible (DPL90 & SG747), hypersensitive (LONREN 1), and resistant (BARBAREN 713) varieties of cotton during infestation by reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis). R. reniformis is a significant root endoparasitic nematode pathogen of cotton for which there are limited genetic resources. This study attempts to identify the critical genes for resistance within the limited available resources.

本研究旨在界定陆地棉的根转录组，并对比在金龟子根结线虫（Rotylenchulus reniformis）侵害期间，易感（DPL90 & SG747）、过敏（LONREN 1）以及抗病（BARBAREN 713）棉种基因表达的差异。R. reniformis 是一种对棉花具有显著影响的根内寄生线虫病原体，对于此类病原体，遗传资源相对匮乏。本研究旨在从有限的资源中鉴定出抗病的关键基因。
