Reprogramming of the wheat transcriptome in response to infection with Claviceps purpurea, the causal agent of ergot

Abstract Background Ergot, caused by the fungal pathogen Claviceps purpurea, infects the female flowers of a range of cereal crops, including wheat. To understand the interaction between C. purpurea and hexaploid wheat we undertook an extensive examination of the reprogramming of the wheat transcrip...
