Comparison of the Dendrosicyos socotranus and Corallocarpus boehmii (tribe Coniandreae, family Cucurbitaceae) plastome data was of interest. Data on RNA, tRNA, GC%, plastome size, CDS and pseudogene were tabulated for the two species. The total length of 1,57,380 bp and 1,58,744 bp which includes LSC, SSC, IRa, and IRb, while their GC content was 37.

The beneficial association and interaction of rhizocompetent microorganisms are widely used for plant biofertilization and amelioration of stress-induced damage in plants. To explore the regulatory mechanism involved in plant defense while associating with beneficial microbial species, and their interplay when co-inoculated with pathogens, we evaluated the response of tomato defense-related gene transcripts. The present study was carried out to examine the qRT-PCR-based relative quantification of differentially expressed defense-related genes in tomato ( L.
