Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Defense Mechanisms Against Pseudoperonospora cubensis Infection in Cucumber Cultivars
Downy mildew (DM) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis, severely restricts cucumber growth and yield. This study compared transcriptomic responses to P. cubensis infection between the DM-resistant cucumber cultivar ‘115’ and the DM-susceptible cultivar ‘XTMC’ at 48 and 72 h post-infect...
