RNA-Seq of maize stalk
After the maize plants reached the 3-4 leaf stage, a 5ml suspension of T.asperellum spores with a concentration of 107/mL was injected into the maize roots. The roots were then watered with clean water as a control. Each group consisted of 3 plants. The corn root and stem tissues were subjected to a 2-day treatment, after which they were frozen and subsequently crushed into powder. Each group consisted of three parallel tissues.
