RNA-Seq and secondary metabolite analyses reveal a putative defence-transcriptome in Norway spruce (Picea abies) against needle bladder rust (Chrysomyxa rhododendri) infection
Norway spruce timber in subalpine forests ceaselessly face infections by the needle rust fungus Chrysomyxa rhododendri, which causes important progress decline and elevated mortality of younger timber. Yet, it’s unknown whether or not timber actively reply to fungal assault by activating molecular defence responses and/or respective gene expression. Here, we report outcomes from an infection experiment, in …
