GWSF-EuSWAP70 gene expression to enhance gray mold resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Eucalyptus, a widely cultivated woody plant, is susceptible to a diverse array of pests and diseases, leading to reduced yields and economic losses. Traditional breeding methods are very time-consuming; therefore, plant genetic engineering has emerged as a promising approach for plant pathogen management. However, the genetic transformation system of eucalyptus is still in its early stages of development, while studies on transgenic eucalyptus and its disease resistance genes are limited. The SWAP70 gene has been shown to play a crucial role in the defense response of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice. In this study, the model plant A. thaliana was selected for genetic transformation. The aim was to enhance the expression of the EuSWAP70 gene derived from Eucalyptus grandis,
