RNA-Seq of R.lauriocola: inoculated redbay
For RNA-Seq analysis, three days after inoculation, six inoculated trees were selected for sample collection. For each tree, the stem encompassing the inoculation sites (5 mm above the upper hole and 5 mm below the lower hole) were collected. Samples were immediately placed into liquid nitrogen and then stored at -88C until further processing for RNA extraction.
