Elucidating the mechanism of resistance to anthracnose in litchi leaves through transcriptome analysis
Litchi accessions presented different resistance responses to anthracnose disease. Small changes in the expression levels of critical resistance-related genes were sufficient to produce the defence reaction. Calcium ion regulatory mechanisms and transcription factors have been preliminarily identified as contributors to disease resistance. Multiple pathways and molecular processes participate in the defence response. These results identify candidate genes and pathways involved in litchi plant defence against anthracnose.
