Genome-wide characterization of the JrCHI family and functional validation of JrCHI6 and JrCHI24 conferring resistance to Alternaria tenuissima in walnut
Alternaria tenuissima leaf spot disease severely hinders sustainable walnut production in Xinjiang. To dissect the molecular basis of walnut disease resistance and mine resistance-associated genes, we investigated the physiological and transcriptomic responses of a resistant wild walnut and a susceptible cultivar, ‘Xin...
