Root transcriptomes differ between resistant and susceptible Cavendish bananas after Fusarium oxysporum TR4 infection.

Key findings

Large-scale expression differences accompany resistance vs susceptibility to Panama disease TR4.

Methodology

Compared Illumina transcriptomes of resistant vs susceptible Cavendish roots after Foc TR4 inoculation (resistance via somaclonal variation).

Limitations

Does not alone deliver a field-ready breeding gene list validated in all cultivars.
