Transcriptome profiling of Black pepper roots colonized by Pochonia chlamydosporia
In this study, black pepper was chosen as a model crop to identify black pepper genes involved in promoting plant growth and regulating defensive responses, thereby enhancing our understanding of the molecular interactions between P. chlamydosporia and its host plants. Black pepper plants were inoculated with Pochonia chlamydosporia and root samples were collected to assess changes in their gene expression over time.
