Comparative transcriptomics and genomic analyses reveal differential gene expression related to <i>Colletotrichum brevisporum</i> resistance in papaya (<i>Carica papaya</i> L.).

ABSTRACT: Colletotrichum brevisporum is an important causal pathogen of anthracnose that seriously affects the fruit quality and yield of papaya (Carica papaya L.). Although many genes and biological processes involved in anthracnose resistance have been reported in other species, the molecular mechanisms involved in the response or resistance to anthracnose in post-harvest papaya fruits remain unclear. In this study, we compared transcriptome changes in the post-harvest fruits of the anthracnose-susceptible papaya cultivar Y61 and the anthracnose-resistant cultivar G20 following C. brevisporum inoculation. More differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (DElnRNAs) were identified in G20 than in Y61, especially at 24 h post-inoculatio
