Transcriptome profiling of rice near-isogenic lines in response to brown planthopper infestation at early time points
This project reports RNA-seq of leaf-sheath tissues from three rice genotypes -- the susceptible cultivar Q3 and two resistant near-isogenic lines B31 (QBph3) and Q4 (QBph4) -- at 0, 6 and 12 h after brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal) infestation. Each genotype x time point was sampled with three biological replicates (27 libraries). The data support weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and identification of key brown-planthopper-resistance hub genes.
