cDNAs Generated from Individual Epidermal Cells Reveal that Differential Gene Expression Predicting Subsequent Resistance or Susceptibility to Rust Fungal Infection Occurs Prior to the Fungus Entering the Cell Lumen

As the cowpea rust fungus penetrates the wall of a cowpea epidermal cell, resistant and susceptible plants exhibit different ultrastructural and cytochemical changes within the epidermal protoplast. To examine plant gene expression at this stage of infection, cytoplasm was extracted from individual...
