Comparative transcriptomic and weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify the core genes in the cultivars of <i>Musa acuminata</i> under both infected and chemical perturbated conditions.

ABSTRACT: Banana is a high nutrient crop, which ranks fourth in terms of gross value production. Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (FocTR4), is considered the most destructive disease leading to the complete loss of production of the Cavendish cultivars Berangan, Brazilian and Williams, which are vulnerable to the infection of FocTR4. However, the treatment with benzothiadiazole, a synthetic salicylic analog, is aimed to induce resistance in plants. Thus, the treatments pertaining to the banana plants subjected to the Foc infection within the chosen cultivars were compared with chemically treated samples obtained at different time intervals for a short duration (0-4 days). The integrated omics analyses considering the parameters of WGCNA, fun
