Wilted houseplants are one thing, but bacterial wilt in crops is a completely different problem. In a new BMC Plant Biology paper, Wang et al. look at bacterial wilt in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum as wilt severely affects crop yield and there currently is no reference genome for a resistant genotype.
GO analysis was performed on differentially expressed gene (DEGs) from several time points after different host plants were infected by bacteria.
GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. (A) and (C) GO enrichment analysis. (B) and (D) KEGG enrichment analysis. (A) GO and (B) KEGG dotplots in five periods after inoculation. The color scale indicates significance (Q-value < 0.05). (C) Top 16 GO terms and (D) top 20 KEGG pathways for 10 groups of crossed DEGs.
