Eight of the GO terms enriched in the DEGs of the group CK24 vs. ND24, namely cell wall, cell wall modification, cell wall organization, cell wall organization or biogenesis, external encapsulating structure, external encapsulating structure organization, galacturonan metabolic process, and structural constituent of the cell wall (Supplementary Figure S3), implying that these genes probably played potential roles in cucumber response to infection and colonization of C. globosum strain ND35, providing further support to the results reported in the previous section. Here, KRT24 is linked to infection.
