Pyrus communis Transcriptome or Gene expression
Pear (Pyrus communis) is threatened upon Monilinia laxa infections. In order to decipher the transcriptional expression profiles among two pear cultivars (cvs Kristalli and Sissy) in the Pyrus communis - Monilinia laxa pathosystem, an RNA-seq analysis at pear flowers (petals) was performed at 2 and 48 h after infection. The samples for RNA-seq were obtained from petals inoculated with the pathogen; mock inoculated petals were also analyzed.
