Heterologous Expression of the Melon CmVQ23 Positively Regulates Resistance to Verticillium dahliae in Arabidopsis
It is demonstrated that CmVQ23 functions as a positive regulator of resistance to Verticillium dahliae by orchestrating ROS/HR-mediated cell death, antioxidant defense, phenylpropanoid pathway activation, and phytohormone signaling crosstalk, offering a promising genetic resource for improving Verticillium wilt resistance in crops.
