Insights into mungbean defense response to Cercospora leaf spot based on transcriptome analysis.

ABSTRACT: Several mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) cultivars are susceptible to Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) caused by Cercospora canescens Ellis & Martin, and it is necessary to explore resistance sources and understand resistance mechanisms. However, the CLS resistance mechanisms have not yet been explored. The response to CLS revealed significantly different disease severity scores in both mungbean genotypes. Hypersensitive response (HR) started to appear at 2 days after inoculation (DAI) in SUPER5 but was never observed in CN84-1. SUPER5 exhibited fewer and smaller lesions than CN84-1 during CLS infection, resulting in SUPER5 being resistant while CN84-1 was susceptible to CLS. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis was used to unravel the mechanisms of resistance to CLS in a resist
