Alternaria blotch disease, caused by Alternaria alternata apple pathotype (AAAP), is one of the most prevalent diseases in apple production. To identify AAAP resistance-related genes and provide a theoretical basis for Alternaria blotch disease resistance breeding, we used two apple cultivars, 'Jonathan', a variety resistant to AAAP infection, and 'Starking Delicious', a variety susceptible to AAAP infection, as materials to perform transcriptome sequencing of apple leaves 72 h after AAAP infection. A Venn diagram showed that a total of 5229 DEGs of 'Jonathan' and 4326 DEGs of 'Starking Delicious' were identified.

- Most Japanese apricot cultivars typically exhibit self-incompatibility patterns, but the cultivar 'Zaohong' was found to be self-compatible (SC) through self-pollination tests.
- The SC in 'Zaohong' resulted from a loss of pollen function, specifically identified as having the S-genotype S 2 S 15, with no significant mutations in its S-haplotypes.
- Additionally, researchers discovered a new F-box gene related to SFB genes, suggesting that factors beyond the S-locus, such as PmF-box genes, might contribute to the pollen's loss of function.
