Dual RNA-Seq of mature chickpea plants during infection with Ascochyta rabiei
This study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes in low- and high-pathogenicity Ascochyta rabiei isolates during infection of a moderately susceptible chickpea host.Chickpea plants were mature (podding stage), and leaves and pods were sampled 12 and 72 hours post-inoculation. The study was conducted as part of the Australian Grains Research and Development Cooperation (GRDC) project GRI2007-001RTX.
