Expression of Genes Involved in Banana ( spp.) Response to Black Sigatoka.

This work aimed to evaluate the relative gene expression of the candidate genes , , , , and involved in the defense response to Black Sigatoka in banana cultivars Calcutta-4, Krasan Saichon, Grand Nain, and Akondro Mainty, by a quantitative real-time PCR. Biotic stress was imposed on 6-month-old plants during five sampling intervals under greenhouse conditions. The and genes were upregulated for the Calcutta-4- and Krasan Saichon-resistant cultivars, and were validated in this study.
