Inhalt
- Results
- Priming with Btt elicits a differential gene expression response in T. castaneum
- Oral priming with Btt spore supernatant prepares larvae for subsequent challenge
- Immune pathways
- Genes with known functions against B. thuringiensis and other pathogens are up-regulated upon priming with Btt
- Immune priming differs from challenge
- Discussion
- Conclusions
- Methods
- Insects
- Bacteria and spore cultivation
- Experimental design
- Sample preparation, library construction and sequencing
- Transcriptomic analysis
