Early-Stage Infection-Specific (Fr.) Bref. Transcripts in - L. Pathosystem.

Transcriptomes from stem-inoculated Scots pine saplings were analyzed to identify unique and enriched transcripts in the early stages of infection. Comparing different time points since inoculation identified 131 differentially expressed genes with -values of ≤0.01.

Transcript Dynamics in Wounded and Inoculated Scots Pine.

Comparative transcriptome analysis provides a useful tool for the exploration of plant-pathogen interaction by allowing in-depth comparison of gene expression between unaffected, inoculated and wounded organisms. Here we present the results of comparative transcriptome analysis in genetically identical one-year-old Scots pine ramets after wounding and inoculation with . We identified 230 genes that were more than 2-fold upregulated in inoculated samples (compared to controls) and 116 downregulated genes.
