Upregulation of gray mold-induced plant genes in uninfected rachis tissue

Molecular detection of infections is normally performed by searching for the DNA pathogen in infected tissues. We consider possibility detecting an ongoing infection analyzing systemic response. The genes coding FAD-binding domain-containing protein and two Cytochrome P450s were upregulated visually healthy tissue pathogen-inoculated leaves at 24 48 hours post infection, both during tip side leaflet inoculations. upregulation these was statistically not different between rachis inoculation spot. results suggest to sense B. cinerea single measuring plant gene expression rachis-derived samples.
