Project description:In order to study the transcriptome changes in tomato during Pto/Prf-mediated ETI, we infiltrated tomato Rio Grande (RG)-PtoR resistant plants (plants that have a functional Pto/Prf signaling pathway, Pto/Pto, Prf/Prf) and two different susceptible plants: RG-prf3 and RG-prf19 (Pto/Pto, prf/prf), with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (DC3000). The susceptible lines have a non-functional Prf gene due to a 1.1 kb deletion or a G-insertion at position 2,584 (which causes a frameshift), respectively. We collected leaf tissue at 4 and 6 h after inoculation (hai) to assess early changes in host gene expression after translocation of DC3000 effectors AvrPto and AvrPtoB, which occur at about 3 hai. The plants were then maintained in the same conditions to observe signs of disease. As expected, RG-PtoR plants did not develop speck disease whereas the RG-prf plants did. NOTE: Samples in SRA were assigned the same sample accession. This is incorrect as there are different samples, hence âÂÂSource Nameâ was replaced with new values. Comment[ENA_SAMPLE] contains the original SRA sample accessions.
