Genome-Wide Analysis of the MLO Family Reveals Their Involvement in Abiotic and Powdery Mildew Stress Responses in Momordica charantia L.
Although loss-of-function mutations in mildew resistance locus o (MLO) genes confer broad-spectrum and durable powdery mildew (PM) resistance in various crops, the MLO family in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) has not been systematically characterized. Here, we identified 15 McMLO genes unevenly distributed acros...
