Differential gene expression profiles during Fusarium interaction
Recent studies have shown that the infection stage and mycotoxin production by Fusarium genus, are influenced by intra-microbial interactions mediated by molecular dialogue. We hypothesized that this molecular dialogue is mediated by microRNAs (miRNAs).  The aim of our research is to explore miRNAs of Fusaria during interaction. To achieve this, confrontation tests between Fusarium graminearum and other Fusaria were set up to investigate interaction zones. Multi-omics approach was realized, including comparative transcriptomics analyses to identify miRNAs and their potential targets during Fusaria interactions. In addition, metabolomic analyses using HPLC-MS complemented this approach to detect signature metabolites of the interaction.
