At 1 dpi, fruit pericarp and epidermal tissue of the blossom end halves of healthy, wounded, and infected fruit were collected and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen tissue was lysed using a Retsch® Mixer Mill MM 400. A total of 1 gram of ground material was used during for RNA extraction as described in Blanco-Ulate et al., 2013. Purity and concentration of the extracted RNA were determined with the use of the NanoDrop One Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific), followed by a more precise concentration measurement with the Qubit 3 (Invitrogen). The integrity of the RNA was confirmed via agarose gel electrophoresis. cDNA libraries were prepared using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v.2 (Illumina, CA) from isolated RNA. Each library was barcoded and analyzed with the High Sensitivity DNA Analysis Kit for the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, CA). Libraries were sequenced as single-end 50-bp reads on an Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform by the DNA Technologies Core at the UC Davis Genome Center.
