Cuscuta campestris parasitized on various hosts including bamboo stick, wt Nicotiana tabacum, amiR targeting CcJKD-expressing N. tabacum

Expression of genes of Cuscuta campestris parasitized onto various hosts were investigated at 0h, 24h and 48h after attachment. Hosts include non-living bamboo stick, wt Nicotiana tabacum, and N. tabacum expressing amiRNA targeting CcJACKDAW (CcJKD) gene. The aim of this project is to investigate the gene expression profile at the stages where C. campestris forms holdfast on the surface of its stem, and prehaustorium.
