Expression Analysis of Pyrenophora teres f. maculata-Responsive Loci in Hordeum vulgare

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS• We revealed the involvement of three barley loci in the defense response against Pyrenophora teres. f. maculata.• These genes probably act as components of complex signaling pathways and would have cumulative effects.• The studied genes were mapped on chromosomes 5H and 7H and phylogenetically characterized.• These pathogen-responsive genes are promising for pathogen resistance engineering in barley and its relatives.Habachi-Houimli, Y.; et al.
