  abstract = {{M}eloidogyne incognita is a nematode responsible for huge losses of economically important crops. {T}he control of this pathogen is heavily centered on chemical nematicides, which are toxic to humans and environment, besides being very expensive. {A}lternatively, resistant varieties of cotton generated from conventional breeding programs represent an attractive strategy for the control of {M}. incognita. {I}n this context, the goal of the work reported here was to analyze the gene expression profile of one resistant and one susceptible cotton genotype infected with {M}. incognita aiming to understand the mechanisms involved in resistance. {EST} libraries of cotton in both resistant and susceptible to infection by {M}. incognita were constructed and sequenced, generating 2261 sequences that were assembled into 233 contigs and 1593 singlets. {G}enes differentially expressed were observed in both resistant and susceptible cotton. {T}wenty genes were found to be expressed exclusively in the resistant cotton genotype, with functions related to pathogen recognition, signal transduction, defense mechanisms and protein synthesis transport and activation. {T}he coordinated action of these genes suggests the existence of a complex defense pathway towards nematode attack in cotton. {O}ur data indicate some candidate genes for validation and use through transformation in other agronomically important plants.},
