As additional evidence for their protective role against ROS in the A. rabiei-chickpea compatible interaction, two of the transcripts over-expressed during infection, Contig464 (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 6), and Contig8395, corresponded to two A. rabiei genes, Ar125, and Ar126 respectively, identified in response to oxidative stress before by Singh et al. (2012). The gene discussed is MT-ND6; the disease is infection.
