FIGURE 1 RNA sampling schematic. B73 maize plants were grown for 30 days in the greenhouse courtyard. Treated plants were exposed in a Phyllachora maydis-infested field for 10 days and brought back to develop tar spot. Nontreated plants remained in the greenhouse courtyard to serve as the non-exposed treatment. Exposed plants were sampled at 10 days post-exposure (dpe) and 24 dpe. Non-exposed plants were similarly sampled at 10 and 24 days. Images showing symptoms sampled on leaves at 10 and 24 dpe. nonexp, non-exposed. Illustration created using BioRender.
Emily M. Roggenkamp et al. provide an initial survey of maize responses to #Phyllachora maydis and identifies candidate genes that may be important in host–pathogen interactions. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTOFR-12-24-0136-R
