Digital gene expression analysis of the response to Ralstonia solanacearum between resistant and susceptible tobacco varieties

Abstract Tobacco bacterial wilt (TBW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the most serious soil-borne disease of tobacco. However, molecular mechanism information of R. solanacearum resistance is limited to tobacco, hindering better breeding of resistant tobacco. In this study, the expression profil...
