RNA-seq analyses of gene expression in the microsclerotia of Verticillium dahliae
9 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The soilborne fungus, Verticillium dahliae, causes Verticillium wilt disease in plants. Verticillium wilt is difficult to control since V. dahliae is capable of persisting in the soil for 10 to 15 years as melanized microsclerotia, rendering crop rotation strategies for disease control ineffective. Microsclerotia of V. dahliae overwinter and germinate to produce infectious hyphae that give rise to...
