Total RNA RNAseq from roots of Arabidopsis Col-0 and siz1-2, infected and non-infected with Heterodera schachtii
In this experiment we evaluate the transcriptional response to beet cyst nematode infection in wild-type (Col-0) and siz1 a knocked-down Arabidopsis thaliana (siz1-2).  The data indicates that the mutation in siz1-2 leads to a strong transcriptional regulation in the plant, mostly of genes related to plant defense. The interaction of the mutation and infection by H. schachtii results in differential regulation of a small subset of genes. Samples were taken from whole root systems of mock or H. schahtii-infected 21 day-old seedlings (7 days post-infection). Each sample contained at least 18 plants and 3 biological replicates of each sample were collected.
