Article Synopsis
- The increase in pathogenic bacterial invasion in sweet orange plantations, driven by climate change, has severely impacted fruit quality.
- Eighty-two resistance-related genes were identified and classified into different subfamilies, revealing significant similarities in protein structure compared to related species.
- Analysis indicated uneven distribution of these genes across chromosomes, with new findings on their involvement in biotic stress responses and the identification of a causal agent for leaf spot disease in sweet oranges.
WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play a vital role in plant stress signal transduction and regulate the expression of various stress resistance genes. Sweet orange () accounts for a large proportion of the world's citrus industry, which has high economic value, while is a prime pathogenic causing postharvest rot of oranges. There are few reports on how CsWRKY TFs play their regulatory roles after infects the fruit.

The NBS-LRR gene family has been researched in many plant species. Citrus is one of the most vital global cash crops, the number one fruit group, and the third most traded agricultural product world wild.
