Sample Information
This page provides an explanation of the samples used in the research, focusing on gene expression analysis in T. myopaeformis, a pest that infects sugar beet plants. A total of 39 samples were obtained from frozen T. myopaeformis maggots, which were fed on various susceptible and resistant genotypes of sugar beet plants. These samples were collected at different time points to examine how the pest’s gene expression changes as it feeds on susceptible or resistant sugar beet plants over time. The study aims to identify differentially expressed genes in T. myopaeformis, focusing on how it responds to the resistant genotypes at the molecular level compared to susceptible ones. This research provides insights into the T. myopaeformis genetic responses during its infection of sugar beet, potentially contributing to the development of more resistant sugar beet varieties in the future.
