Background: Anthracnose, mainly caused by Colletotrichum fructicola, leads to severe losses in pear production. However, there is limited information available regarding the molecular response to anthracnose in pears.
Results: In this study, the anthracnose-resistant variety 'Seli' and susceptible pear cultivar 'Cuiguan' were subjected to transcriptome analysis following C. fructicola inoculation at 6 and 24 h using RNA sequencing. A total of 3186 differentially expressed genes were detected in 'Seli' and 'Cuiguan' using Illumina sequencing technology. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses indicated that the transcriptional response of pears to C. fructicola infection included responses to reactive oxygen species, phytohormone signaling, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and secondary metabolite biosynthetic processes. Moreover, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were involved in the defense of 'Seli'. Furthermore, the gene coexpression network data showed that genes related to plant-pathogen interactions were associated with C. fructicola resistance in 'Seli' at the early stage.
Conclusion: Our results showed that the activation of specific genes in MAPK, calcium signaling pathways and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis was highly related to C. fructicola resistance in 'Seli' and providing several potential candidate genes for breeding anthracnose-resistant pear varieties.

In recent years, increasingly stringent pesticide regulations have made the development of new chemistries challenging. Under these regulations, the new fungicide ipflufenoquin (FRAC Code 52) was first released in Japan. Its mode of action is new; it inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of pyrimidine-based nucleotides.

Anthracnose of the tea plant (), caused by spp., poses a significant threat to both the yield and quality of tea production. To address this challenge, researchers have looked to the application of endophytic bacteria as a natural alternative to the use chemical pesticides, offering potential for enhancing disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance in tea plants.

Fludioxonil and propiconazole are frequently used fungicides for managing fungal diseases in specialty crops. They are often used in mixture to manage brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola and sour rot caused by the yeast-like fungus Geotrichum candidum,respectively, on stone fruits. Research indicated, however, that fludioxonil can increase the expression of the ATP-binding cassette transporters CDR1 and CDR2 in the yeast Candida albicans, leading to increased resistance to DMI fungicides.

Anthracnose, caused by species, induces significant economic damages to crop plants annually, especially for . During infection, the counter-defence mechanisms of plant pathogens against ROS-mediated resistance, however, remain poorly understood. By employing Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), we identified ACTIVATOR PROTEIN-1 (AP-1), a bZIP transcription factor, as significant to infection.
