Genome-wide characterization of citrus remorin genes identifies an atypical remorin CsREM1.1 responsible for fruit disease resistance.

Remorins (REMs) are plant-specific proteins associated with plasma membrane (PM) and exhibit diverse biological functions. However, the roles of remorins in fruit crops and fruit disease resistance remain unexplored. Here, we performed a genome-wide characterization of remorin genes from citrus (Citrus sinensis) and identified an atypical remorin CsREM1.
