From: Gene expression profiling by cDNA-AFLP reveals potential candidate genes for partial resistance of ‘Président Roulin’ against Venturia inaequalis

Figure 2

Expression patterns of apple genes displayed by cDNA-AFLP fingerprints. The cDNA-AFLP compares transcriptional profiles from ‘Président Roulin’ (partially resistant) and ‘Gala’ (susceptible) mock-inoculated or challenged by V. inaequalis at 48 hpi. The 32 samples are arranged in 8 groups according to the different specific primers tested during the selective amplification step of the AFLP procedure. E and M refer to the EcoRI and MseI primers, followed by the selective nucleotides used. Within each of the 8 groups samples are ordered as follows: ‘Président Roulin’ infected (Ri) and mock-inoculated (Rm), and ‘Gala’ infected (Si) and mock-inoculated (Sm). Differentially expressed TDFs were classified into 2 categories: genotype-specific TDFs (group I) and pathogen-responsive TDFs (group II), further divided into two sub-groups; pathogen-responsive TDFs expressed in common by both genotypes (sub-group IIa) and pathogen-responsive and genotype specific TDFs (sub-group IIb). Illustrations are given.
