Project description:Eggs and juveniles of NWE-Mc31 from Meloidogyne chitwoodi were collected and total RNA was isolated as described in the sample collection protocol. The quality of both RNA isolations was RIN 10 (RNA Integrity Number). mRNA sequences were generated using the TruSeq RNA stranded polyA protocol of Useq (Utrecht Sequencing Facility, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Project description:We compared the gene expression of wild-type Col-0 and a T-DNA mutant SALK_116381C (opr2-1). We either infected or mock-infected the plants with the root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and measured the root transcriptome after 0, 1, 4, and 7 days post infection using RNA-seq. The aim of the experiment was to determine whether opr2-1 affected gene expression patterns induced by nematode infection.
