Metabolomics and WGCNA Analyses Reveal the Underlying Mechanisms of Resistance to <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> in Hazelnut.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hazelnut (Corylus), a significant woody oil tree species in economic forests, faces production constraints due to biotic stresses, with Hazelnut Husk Brown Rot, caused by the pathogenic necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea), being the most severe. To date, limited information is available regarding the resistance of hazelnuts to B. cinerea. To better understand the mechanisms of resistance to B. cinerea. in hazelnut, we conducted metabolomics and WGCNA analyses of a B. cinerea-resistant Ping'ou hybrid hazelnut variety (Dawei; DW) and a susceptible variety (Qiuxiang; QX).

Methods

In this study, metabolomics and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA, weighted correlation network analysis) were appli
