Abstract
Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina is an important disease of wheat and Lr24 gene confers resistance to all known pathotypes of P. triticina in India. Transcripts associated with the Lr24 mediated resistance were identified through transcriptome sequencing and further expression analysis of differentially regulated genes was performed using qPCR technique. De novo transcriptome assembly showed 66,415 and 68,688 transcripts in resistant and susceptible genotypes, respectively. The study revealed that 5873 genes unique to resistant; 6782 genes unique to susceptible, while 10,841 genes were common to both. Gene Ontology distribution statistics showed 1030 and 1068 CDS in biological processes; 1234 and 1326 CDS in cellular processes; 1321 and 1352 CDS in molecular functions, respectively. A total of 659 genes were found to be differentially expressed, of which 349 were upregulated and 310 were downregulated in resistant genotype. Pathway analysis of transcripts appeared in resistant genotype revealed that 279 transcripts had homology with genes involved in signal transduction, 18 transcripts in membrane transport, one transcript in signaling molecules. Real-time PCR study showed that most of the up-regulated defense related genes expressed in early hours indicating that a cascade of defense starts early in Lr24 mediated resistance, which successfully inhibited pathogen establishment.
