Transcriptome analysis provides new insights into the resistance of pepper to Phytophthora capsici infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Phytophthora blight is a highly destructive soil-borne disease caused by Phytophthora capsici Leonian, which threatens pepper production. The molecular mechanism of pepper resistance to phytophthora blight is unclear, and the excavation and functional analysis of resistant genes are the bases and prerequisites for phytophthora blight-resistant breeding. We aimed to analyze the expression patterns of key genes in the plant-pathogen interaction metabolic pathway and propose a working model of the pepper defense signal network against Phytophthora capsici infection.

Results

The 'ZCM334' pepper material used in this study is a high-generation inbred line that is immune to Phytophthora capsici and shows no signs of infection after inoculation. Comparative transcriptome
