RNA-Seq of leaf samples
The extracted RNA was used to prepare a total of 8 libraries using Ribo-Zero kit. Four libraries were for susceptible Swarna-Sub1 (3DPI-control, 3DPI-treated, 9DPI-control, 9DPI-treated) and four for tolerant CR 1014 (3DPI-control, 3DPI-treated, 9DPI-control, 9DPI-treated). The raw reads were obtained from next generation sequencing (NGS) Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform using Paired end (PE) 2  150 bp sequencing approach.
