Simultaneous transcriptome analysis of oil palm clones and Phytophthora palmivora reveals oil palm defense strategies.

Phytophthora palmivora is an oomycete that causes oil palm bud rot disease. To understand the molecular mechanisms of this disease, palm clones with contrasting responses (Ortet 34, resistant and Ortet 57, susceptible) were inoculated with P. palmivora, and RNAseq gene expression analysis was perfor...
