Project description:Transcriptome response of avocado roots subjected to flooding, infection by the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi or a combination of both. Analysis was carried out at two time-points. Aim was to identify important genes in response to these stresses.
Project description:This experiment contains Phytophthora sojae samples and RNA-seq data from experiment E-GEOD-29561 (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-29651/) to understand gene expression during the P. sojae life cycle. The transcriptome of the oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora sojae was profiled at 5 different developmental stages: mycelia (MY), zoosporangia (SP), zoospores (ZO), cysts (CY) and germinating cysts (GC); based on a 3'-tag digital gene expression (DGE) protocol. More than 90 million clean sequence tags were generated and compared to the P. sojae genome and its 19,027 predicted genes. A total of 14,969 genes were detected, of which 10,044 were deemed reliable because they mapped to unambiguous tags. A web-based server named the Phytophthora Transcriptional Database (PTD) has been established.
