Correlation Analysis of Expression Profile and Quantitative iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS Proteomics Reveals Resistance Mechanism Against TuMV in Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis)
To better examine the molecular mechanisms behind the virus infection, we conducted a correlation analysis of RNA-Seq and quantitative iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS in TuMV-infected and in healthy Chinese cabbage leaves. Overall design: The five-leaf stage seedlings were rubbed with the TuMV inoculum by grounding the TuMV-infected Chinese cabbage leaves with phosphate buffer. The plants inoculated only with buffer served as control. At 21 days post-inoculation each of the infected and the control leaves were collected for RNA-Seq.
