In GC-4, some genes involved in disease resistance were up-regulated which might have provided resistance against Foc. Up-regulation of these genes during fungal infection have been supported by some previous reports like, LRR-RLK in resistant rubber tree against Corynespora cassiicola (Roy et al., 2019), transcription factors WRKY, and MYB in apple plant showing resistance against Fusarium proliferatum f. Here, MYB is linked to fungal infectious disease.
