Transcriptomic Analysis of the Rice White Tip Nematode Aphelenchoides besseyi (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae)

摘要

BackgroundThe rice white tip nematode Aphelenchoides besseyi, a devastating nematode whose genome has not been sequenced, is distributed widely throughout almost all the rice-growing regions of the world. The aims of the present study were to define the transcriptome of A. besseyi and to identify parasite-related, mortality-related or host resistance-overcoming genes in this nematode.
