Article Synopsis
- Two jute species, Corchorus capsularis and Corchorus olitorius, face stem rot disease from the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina, while a wild species (C. trilocularis) shows resistance.
- The research used differential display to compare gene expression between C. trilocularis and C. olitorius var O-72 during fungal infection, identifying two xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH) genes: CoXTH1 and CtXTH1, which displayed differing expression patterns.
- CtXTH1 increased expression in response to infection, while CoXTH1 was downregulated, suggesting a role for XTH genes in plant-fungal interactions that requires
