Transcriptome of apple cv. Ametyst in Rvi6-effective and Rvi6-breaking Venturia inaequalis interactions identifies defense candidates
Background: Rvi6, introgressed from Malus floribunda 821, is the most widely deployed apple scab resistance gene, but Venturia inaequalis races overcoming it are widespread. Transcriptomic differences between Rvi6-effective and Rvi6-breaking interactions in one host genotype remain unresolved. Aims: To compare these interactions in cv. Ametyst and nominate genes for subsequent validation.…
