Project name: Priming resistance of tomato to Botrytis cinerea infection by root drench treatment with beta-aminobutyric acid.

Description: Induced resistance responses of plants to biotic stress can be enhanced by prior treatment by chemical priming agents such as beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA). Defence-related genes are typically not expressed following priming, but show faster and/or stronger induced expression following infection.Here we test the transcriptome responses of control and BABA-primed plants to infection with the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea.Overall design: Tomato leaves from control and primed plants were either mock inoculated or inolculated with Botrytis spores. Leaves were harvested immediately (time zero) and at 6, 9 and 12 hours following inoculation.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
