Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Molecular Mechanisms of Carrot Adaptation to Alternaria Leaf Blight.

ABSTRACT: Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is an important vegetable crop that is rich in carotenoids and is widely cultivated throughout the world. Alternaria leaf blight (ALB), caused by infection with Alternaria dauci (A. dauci), is the most serious fungal disease in carrot production. Although several quantitative trait loci associated with ALB resistance have been identified, the genetic mechanisms underlying this resistance remain largely unelucidated. The aim of the present study was to clarify the infection mode of A. dauci and examine the molecular mechanisms underlying carrot cultivar adaptation to ALB by RNA sequencing. Microscopic observation revealed that A. dauci invades leaf tissues by entering through stomata, and resistant germplasms may significantly inh
