Abstract Background The interaction of Arabidopsis with Alternaria brassicicola provides a model for disease caused by necrotrophs but a drawback has been the lack of a compatible pathosystem. Infection of most ecotypes including the widely-studied line Col-0 with this pathogen generally leads to a lesion that does not expand beyond the inoculated area. This study examines an ecotype Dijon G DiG which is considered sensitive to A. brassicicola. Results We show that the interaction has the characteristics of a compatible one with expanding rather than limited lesions. To ask whether DiG is merely more sensitive to the pathogen or rather interacts in distinct manner we identified genes whose regulation differs between Col-0 and DiG challenged with A. brassicicola. Suppression subtractive hybridization was used
