Next-generation sequencing for deep transcriptomic analysis of a tropical plant-fungus intraction (NEGENTROP). KU Leuven
This NEGENTROP project aims at gaining novel information and deeper insight into the interaction of banana with the pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis, which represents a major threat and bottleneck for Ecuadorian export and the global banana industry, respectively. Next-generation sequencing will reveal systematic snapshots of the host transcriptome at consecutive time points during the infection process under close to natural ...
