Transcriptional reprogramming in wheat by the necrotrophic effector SnTox5 secreted by Parastagonospora nodorum

SnTox5 is a necrotrophic effector that is released by the necrotrophic wheat fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum. In the presence of the wheat susceptibility gene Snn5, SnTox5 induces programmed cell death to the pathogen's advantage. Here, we present an RNAseq data set that was developed for the inoculation of Snn5 wheat differential line LP29 with Sn2000 (with SnTox5), SnTox5 mutant of Sn2000 (without SnTox5), Sn791087 (without SnTox5), and SnTox5 transformant Sn791087 to investigate the transcriptional reprogramming in wheat and P. nodorum that occurs upon the secretion of SnTox5 through differentially expressed gene analysis. Additionally, transcripts derived from the RNAseq data set were used to reannotate the Sn2000 and Sn791087 genomes of P. nodorum and to evaluate genomewide effector expression and roles during P. nodorum infection.
