Transcriptome analysis provides insights into the role of TLP16 in Musa acuminata Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense wilt.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) are crucial pathogenesis-related proteins that significantly contribute to plant defense rection. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) causes Fusarium wilt of bananas, a serious threat to global production. However, the role of TLPs in disease resistance remains unclear.

Results

This study identified 49 TLP genes in banana, predominantly localized in the extracellular space, and distributed across 11 chromosomes. The ancestor-descendant relationship was explained, six genes remained remarkably conserved across species could represent the ancestral genes of the TLP gene family. Promoter regions, transcriptome and qRT-PCR analysis suggested that MaTLP16 might be involved in disease resistance. Furthermore, transcriptional silencing
