EST and microarray analyses of pathogen-responsive genes in hot pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) non-host resistance against soybean pustule pathogen ( Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines)

Abstract  Large-scale single-pass sequencing of cDNA libraries and microarray analysis have proven to be useful tools for discovering new genes and studying gene expression. As a first step in elucidating the defense mechanisms in hot pepper pla
