The downy mildew oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis, an obligate filamentous pathogen, infects Arabidopsis by forming feeding structures called haustoria inside host cells. Previous transcriptome analyses revealed host genes are specifically induced during infection; however, RNA profiling from infected tissues may fail to capture key transcriptional events occurring exclusively in haustoriated host cells where the pathogen injects virulence effectors to modulate host immunity. To determine interactions between Arabidopsis and H. arabidopsidis at the cellular level, we devised a new translating ribosome affinity purification system applicable to inducible, including pathogen-responsive, promoters thus enabling haustoriated cell-specific RNA profiling. Among the host genes specifically expressed in H. arabidopsidis-haustoriated cells, we found genes that promote either susceptibility or resistance to the pathogen, providing new insights into the Arabidopsis/downy mildew interaction. We propose that our novel protocol for profiling cell-specific transcripts will be applicable to several stimulus-specific contexts and other plant-pathogen interactions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
