Name:infection_rice_mock - environmental treatment - pathogen infection,magnaporthe grisea :. Plants were inoculated with gelatine 0.5% (Berruyer et al, TAG 2005)
Growth protocol
leaf - Growth on soil- 60% humidity- 28degreeC day/25degreeC dark- 12h day
Whereas plant disease resistance is well documented at the transcriptomic level, very few analyses have been conducted, especially in cereals, on plant disease susceptibility. In addition, in rice, susceptibility is often not well defined at the phenotypical level and some interactions termed as compatible can be in fact a mixture of compatible and incompatible interactions. We designed a specific experiment in which the interaction between rice and its fungal pathogen Magnaporthe grisea was truly compatible (complete absence of background resisatnce) in order to identify genes that would be differentially regulated in such condition. These genes may potentially represent targets for effectors of the pathogen.
