Transcriptomic analysis of resistant and susceptible cabbage lines reveals differential expressions and candidate genes involved in cabbage early responses to black rot.

Cabbage ( var) is one of the most important cruciferous leafy vegetable crops and is widely cultivated all over the world. Its yield and quality are often affected by diseases such as cabbage black rot. 2R is a cabbage line that is newly resistant to black rot, which was created by radiation mutagenesis and backcross transfer.

Genome-wide identification of turnip mosaic virus-responsive microRNAs in non-heading Chinese cabbage by high-throughput sequencing.

Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) is the most prevalent viral pathogen infecting most cruciferous plants. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are around 22 nucleotides long non-protein-coding RNAs that play key regulatory roles in plants. Recent research findings show that miRNAs are involved in plant-virus interaction.
