Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation RNA-seq identified 149,531 differentially expressed genes across 39 resistant vs susceptible, time vs time and tissue vs tissue comparisons in chili pepper infected by P. capsici.
- Observation Of the DEGs, 75,520 (51%) showed higher expression across all tissues and post-inoculation times.
- Observation Of the DEGs, 74,011 (49%) showed lower expression across all tissues and post-inoculation times.
- Observation The number of DEGs with higher expression decreased across post-inoculation times in the tissue samples, with the fewest at 72 h post-inoculation.
- Observation Network analysis showed that genes functioning in defense response to fungal infection were also involved in carbohydrate metabolism and ADP binding.
- Observation Genes related to immune response to fungal infection and to amino acid metabolism showed higher expression across all infection times and tissues.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that the chili pepper transcriptome under P. capsici infection shows shared expression across tissues that can be used in breeding and selection for broad-spectrum resistance in Capsicum germplasm.
