Transcriptome of tomato leaf and fruit in response to aphid feeding under different fertilization regimes
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv. 'Oregon Spring') plants were grown from seed and provided a conventional fertilization regime and an organic fertilization regime. Prior to fruiting, green peach aphids (Myzus persicae) were introduced to half of each fertilizer treatment group. At harvest, tissues were taken from fruit and leaf tissues to examine transcriptomic responses to this sustained aphid infestation, and examine differences based on fertilizer regime.
