Projectomschrijving
In this project the plant response in rice upon nematode infection will be analysed using RNA-seq, an ultramodern transcriptome profiling method. Rice, a model organism for monocots and a very important crop, is infected with both the sedentary root knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola and the migratory nematode Hirschmanniella oryzae. Gene expression after infection was analyzed and currently the data is thoroughly analyzed and interpreted.
