GSE112580 Transcriptomic comparison of Botrytis cinerea wild type and VELVET mutants

Contributors : Nathalie M üller ; Matthias HahnSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Botrytis cinereaAn RNAseq-based transcriptomic comparison of Botrytis cinerea wild type and the three VELVET mutants was performed, to correlate common virulence defects of the mutants with changes in gene expression. A large number of genes encoding infection-related and secreted proteins was strongly underexpressed in the mutants, in particular genes encoding proteases and carbohydrate active enzymes. Many VELVET-regulated genes were found to be upregulated in the wild type during host plant infection (M üller et al.: Investigations on VELVET regulatory mutants confirm the role of host tissue acidification and secretion of proteins in pathogenesis of Botrytis cinerea; New Phytologist, 2018)
