Molecular insights into Solanum sisymbriifolium's resistance against Globodera pallida via RNA-seq.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The presence of potato cyst nematodes (PCN) causes a significant risk to potato crops globally, leading to reduced yields and economic losses. While the plant Solanum sisymbriifolium is known for its resistance to PCN and can be used as a trap crop, the molecular mechanisms behind this resistance remain poorly understood. In this study, genes differentially expressed were identified in control and infected plants during the early stages of the S. sisymbriifolium - G. pallida interaction.

Results

Gene expression profiles were characterized for two S. sisymbriifolium cultivars, Melody and Sis6001, uninfected and infected by G. pallida. The comparative transcriptome analysis revealed a total of 4,087 and 2,043 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to nema
