Integrative network analyses of wilt transcriptome in chickpea reveal genotype dependent regulatory hubs in immunity and susceptibility.

ABSTRACT: Host specific resistance and non-host resistance are two plant immune responses to counter pathogen invasion. Gene network organizing principles leading to quantitative differences in resistant and susceptible host during host specific resistance are poorly understood. Vascular wilt caused by root pathogen Fusarium species is complex and governed by host specific resistance in crop plants, including chickpea. Here, we temporally profiled two contrasting chickpea genotypes in disease and immune state to better understand gene expression switches in host specific resistance. Integrative gene-regulatory network elucidated tangible insight into interaction coordinators leading to pathway determination governing distinct (disease or immune) phenotypes. Global network analysis identified five ma
