Abstract:Sheath Blight (SB) disease in rice crop caused by the infection of the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) is one of the severe rice diseases that can cause up to 50% yield losses. Naturally occurring rice varieties resistant to SB have not been reported yet. We have performed a Time-Series RNA-Seq analysis on a widely cultivated rice variety BPT-5204 for identifying its transcriptomic response signatures to R. solani infection at 1st, 2nd and 5th day post inoculation (dpi). In total, 428, 3225 and … Show more
