Study of Wheat ESTs in its interaction with Mycosphaerella graminicola

Abstract

In this study, 10438 ESTs related to the interaction of wheat and Mycosphaerella graminicola (Anamorph: Zymoseptoria tritici) were searched in the NCBI Genebank. Non redundant related proteins of these ESTs in NCBI genebank were analyzed by Seqtools software. Among 10438 studied ESTs, 3868 ESTs had related proteins. These proteins were classified in 279 groups based on the type of them. Related pathways of 112 proteins were found in the KEGG site. Subsequently, the relationship between 55 searched pathways and defense responses in plants interact with pathogen was studied. Finally, these pathways were classified based on function in eight groups. Functional groups were included: Defense, Energy, Metabolism, Protein Process, RNA process, Cell cycle, Protein degradation and Signaling. The maximum number (745) of ESTs was related to proteins involved in cellular energy group, following by functional pathway related to defenses with 251 ESTs.
