Differences in transcriptomic responses upon Phytophthora palmivora infection among cultivars reveal potential underlying resistant mechanisms in durian.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Phytophthora palmivora is a devastating oomycete pathogen in durian, one of the most economically important crops in Southeast Asia. The use of fungicides in Phytophthora management may not be a long-term solution because of emerging chemical resistance issues. It is crucial to develop Phytophthora-resistant durian cultivars, and information regarding the underlying resistance mechanisms is valuable for smart breeding programs.

Results

In this study, we conducted RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to investigate early gene expression responses (at 8, 24, and 48 h) after the P. palmivora infection in three durian cultivars, which included one resistant cultivar (Puangmanee; PM) and two susceptible cultivars (Monthong; MT and Kradumthong; KD). We performed co-expression and d
