Quercus suber Transcriptome or Gene expression

The transcriptome analysis of Q. suber directed to genes related to biotic stress caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi infection, the main biotic contributor to the decline disease aims at the characterization of target and regulatory genes that are responsive to the infectious process leading to the understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying Quercus defence against P. cinnamomi and is an essential prerequisite for the implementation of future control strategies.
