Dual transcriptomics of Ophiognomonia leptostyla-walnut interaction using RNA-seq
Anthracnose disease caused by Ophiognomonia leptostyla, is a widespread fungal disease on walnut species including Persian walnut (Juglans regia) and considered as an important treat to walnut production world wild. To improving our understanding of the molecular basis of the pathogen/host interaction in this pathosystem, the whole transcriptome of inoculated and mock-inoculated leaf samples (Persian walnut, cv. Chandler, two year-old trees, in three time points: 48, 96 and 144 hours post inoculation) as well as the mycellia of the pathogen (O. leptostyla, isolate SA-SE1, grown in potato dextrose broth) were sequenced as 100 pair-end reads on Illumina Nova seq 6000 platform.
