Dual Transcriptional Profiling of Carrot and ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ at Different Stages of Infection Suggests Complex Host-Pathogen Interaction by Jinhui Wang, Minna Haapalainen, Anne I. Nissinen, Minna Pirhonen

“…At 4 wpi, terpenoid synthesis-related genes were up-regulated, presumably as a response to the psyllid feeding, whereas at 5 and 9 wpi, genes involved in both the terpenoid and flavonoid production were down-regulated and phenylpropanoid genes were up-regulated. Chloroplast-related gene expression was down-regulated, in concordance with the observed yellowing of the infected plant leaves. …”
