Transcriptome of roots of Lotus japonicus cv. Gifu wild type and ein2a-2 ein2b-1 double mutant colonized by arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi and treated with ethephon
To decipher the molecular mechanism behind the effect of ethylene on root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungus Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198, we compared the root transcriptome of Lotus japonicus wild type (cv. Gifu) treated with 20 micromolar ethephon or solvent control, and of ein2a-2 ein2b-1 mutant, both with (AM) and without (Mock) inoculation with R. irregularis. Single-end reads were obtained using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
