Transcript Profiles of Blumeria graminis Development During Infection Reveal a Cluster of Genes That Are Potential Virulence Determinants

High-density cDNA microarrays (2,027 unigenes) were used to analyze transcript profiles of the plant-pathogenic fungus Blumeria graminis f.sp.hordei throughout its asexual life cycle and development of infection.RNA was obtained from four stages preceding penetration and four stages after penetration of the host cells.The microarray data was valida
