The C3H gene PtZFP2-like in Pinellia ternata acts as a positive regulator of the resistance to soft rot caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum.

ABSTRACT: Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit is a member of the Araceae family and is globally distributed. The dry tuber has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. With agricultural development, the harm of soft rot to P. ternata is an increasing problem. The lack of germplasm resources resistant to soft rot leads to less research on resistance mechanisms. In our study, we screened disease-resistant P. ternata P-1 and disease-susceptible P. ternata P-4 for the first time. Then, the infection of soft rot for 0, 24, and 48 hours was performed, and a de novo transcriptome analysis explored key genes associated with soft rot resistance. A total of 260,169 unigenes were identified and differentially expressed gene analysis was conducted. In total, 33 C3H-type ZFP genes were diffe
