Liberibacter crescens transcriptome from culture treated in various plant extracts
Liberibacter crescens is the only culturable strain of Liberibacter spp and serves as a great tool for investigating important plant diseases caused by Liberibacter spp. One-week-old Liberibacter crescens (strain BT-1) grown in BM7 medium and was either untreated (X), treated with extract from Arabidopsis thaliana (At), or treated with extract from Oroblanco grapefruit Citrus grandis Osbeck x C. Paradisi Macf (cit). Total RNA was extracted from bacterial pellets using TRIzol followed by Dnase treatment. Samples were sent for sequencing Illumina HiSeq, 2x150bp configuration, single index, per lane.
