Key Findings
- Researchers at Gyeongsang National University developed a new RNA-seq method to better study plant-bacterial interactions
- This method enriches bacterial mRNA in plant samples by removing ribosomal RNA, improving the analysis of bacterial gene expression
- The new method increased the mapping efficiency of bacterial genes in infected plants and identified more differentially expressed genes than conventional methods
