Plants have evolved strong innate immunity mechanisms, but successful pathogens evade or suppress plant immunity via effectors delivered into the plant cell. Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) causes downy mildew on Arabidopsis thaliana, and a genome sequence is available for isolate Emoy2. Here, we exploit the availability of genome sequences for Hpa and Arabidopsis to measure gene-expression changes in both Hpa and Arabidopsis simultaneously during infection. Using a high-throughput cDNA tag sequencing method, we reveal expression patterns of Hpa predicted effectors and Arabidopsis genes in compatible and incompatible interactions, and promoter elements associated with Hpa genes expressed during infection. By resequencing Hpa isolate Waco9, we found it evades Arabidopsis resistance gene RPP1 through deletion of the cognate recognized effector ATR1. Arabidopsis salicylic acid (SA)-responsive genes including PR1 were activated not only at early time points in the incompatible interaction but also at late time points in the compatible interaction. By histochemical analysis, we found that Hpa suppresses SA-inducible PR1 expression, specifically in the haustoriated cells into which host-translocated effectors are delivered, but not in non-haustoriated adjacent cells. Finally, we found a highly-expressed Hpa effector candidate that suppresses responsiveness to SA. As this approach can be easily applied to host-pathogen interactions for which both host and pathogen genome sequences are available, this work opens the door towards transcriptome studies in infection biology that should help unravel pathogen infection strategies and the mechanisms by which host defense responses are overcome. A comprehensive understanding of host-pathogen interactions requires knowledge of the dynamics of gene expression changes in both the host and the pathogen during a time course of infection. However, expression profiling has often focused on either the host or the pathogen due to limitations of methods that involve microarrays. We report here gene expression changes in both Arabidopsis and its parasite Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) simultaneously during infection using a high-throughput RNA sequencing method. By resequencing Hpa isolate Waco9, we found it evades Arabidopsis resistance gene RPP1 through deletion of cognate recognized effector ATR1. We also found that Hpa suppresses responsiveness to salicylic acid (SA) in haustoriated cells into which host-translocated effectors are delivered. An Hpa effector HaRxL62, previously shown to enhance host susceptibility, was highly expressed in this assay, and we found it suppresses responsiveness to SA. Expression profiling of both pathogen effector genes and host genes involved in immunity allows us to suggest distinct mechanisms of effector-mediated susceptibility and reveals interesting Hpa effectors for detailed mechanistic investigation in future experiments.
