Transcriptome analysis on leaves of potato lines overexpressing StRVE1 and wild-type Desiree.
The circadian rhythm gene StRVE1, activated by Cu2+, positively regulates potato defense against late blight. To identify the downstream signaling pathways regulated by StRVE1, we generated stable StRVE1-overexpressing potato lines and analyzed the differences in expression profiles between these lines and the wild-type Desiree using RNA sequencing.
