454 Sequencing of sunflower (INRA inbred lines XRQ and PSC8) infected by Plasmopara halstedii (race 710) transcriptome at 14 dpi.
Downy mildew of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is caused by the oomycete Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl et de Toni. Despite of the breeding efforts of the international community, it remains a major threat for sunflower cultivation. Yet very few genomic, genetic and molecular resources of this pathogen are available for research. Using 454 sequencing method, we generated ESTs expressed in the frame of the interaction of H. annuus and P. halstedii.
