Project description:Oilseed rape (Brassica napus, B. napus) is one of the most important oil crops globally, contributing significantly to the world's supply of vegetable oil. However, its production is severely threatened by Sclerotinia stem rot, a disease caused by the broad-host-range fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary (S. sclerotiorum). We have investigated the gene expression of J9712 and W40-OE2 during different time periods of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infection through RNA-Seq analysis.
Project description:Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen with a broad host range, causes a devastating disease on soybean called Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), can lead to losses as high as 50-60%. Resistance mechanisms against SSR are poorly understood. We used high throughput RNAseq approach to decipher the molecular mechanisms governing resistance to S. sclerotiorum in soybean. Transcripts of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of soybean; susceptible (S) and resistant (R) were analyzed in a time course experiment. This study might provide an important step towards understanding resistance responses of soybean to S. sclerotiorum and identified novel mechanisms and targets.
