Comparative transcriptome analysis of kiwifruit reveals candidate genes involved in soft rot resistance against <i>Botryosphaeria dothidea</i>
This study revealed the functional genes and defense pathways involved in governing soft rot resistance in kiwifruit against B. dothidea. These results contribute to understanding the molecular differences in disease resistance between resistant and susceptible kiwifruit cultivars. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
