Identification and functional characterization of the <i>RPP13</i> gene family in potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) for disease resistance.

ABSTRACT: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), as the world's fourth largest food crop, plays a crucial role in ensuring food security through its disease resistance. The RPP13 gene family is known to play a pivotal role in plant disease resistance responses; however, its specific functions in potato remain unclear. In this study, we conducted the first comprehensive identification and analysis of 28 RPP13 gene family members in potato, examining their gene structures, chromosomal locations, expression patterns, and functional characteristics. Gene structure analysis revealed that most members contain the typical CC-NBS-LRR domains, with exon numbers ranging from 1 to 6. Phylogenetic analysis grouped these genes into four evolutionary clades, indicating a high level of conservation. C
