EST sequencing and gene expression profiling of defence-related genes from Persea americana infected with Phytophthora cinnamomi

Table 2 Contig classification for cDNA libraries of Phytophthora cinnamomi infected avocado roots.

	Uninfected	Library 1	Library 2	Total
Unidentified	5	16	24	45
Hypothetical protein	23	54	75	152
Genes identified	15	69	89	173

Contigs were classed as unidentified, identified or hypothetically identified if the sequence homology search revealed that there was no similarity, significant similarity or inferred structural function respectively. The total number of genes identified was 173 with only 45 of the total 370 contigs generating no identification using the non-redundant (NR) database on the NCBI.
