title: C. cladosporioides control, at 0 h
design: Transcriptomics can comprehensively and intuitively display the gene expression of pathogenic fungi in the process of infection and thus can similarly delineate the molecular mechanism of C. cladosporioides infection in postharvest table grapes. Our previous work determined the key time point (24 h post-inoculation) of C. cladosporioides infection on grapes through microscopic observation, enzyme activity, and physical and chemical determination. In this study, we performed high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of C. cladosporioides in the early stages of infection (024 h post-inoculation). We intended to study the transcriptional level changes of C. cladosporioides before infection and during postharvest table grape decay.
