Ulmus minor response to Dutch elm disease: de novo transcriptome assembly and annotation.

Abstract excerpt

Dutch elm disease (DED), caused by Ophiostoma novo-ulmi (ONU), has devastated elm populations across Europe and North America since the 20th century. In this work, a de novo transcriptome assembly of Ulmus minor in response to ONU is presented. We used two DED-resistant genotypes, MDV2.3 and VAD2, and one DED-susceptible genotype, MDV1, to capture responses to ONU at four time points post-inoculation (6, 24, 72,...
