Transcriptomic and sugar metabolic analysis reveals molecular mechanisms of peach gummosis in response to Neofusicoccum parvum infection.

ABSTRACT: Peach gummosis, a devastating disease caused by Neofusicoccum parvum, significantly shortens peach tree lifespan and reduces the yield of peach trees. Despite its impact, the molecular mechanism underlying this disease remains largely unexplored. In this study, we used RNA-seq, sugar metabolism measurements, and an integrated transcriptional and metabolomic analysis to uncover the molecular events driving peach gummosis. Our results revealed that N. parvum infection drastically altered the transcripts of cell wall degradation-related genes, the log₂Fold change in the transcript level of Prupe.1G088900 encoding xyloglucan endotransglycosylase decreased 2.6-fold, while Prupe.6G075100 encoding expansin increased by 2.58-fold at 12 hpi under N. parvum<
