Different transcriptional response to Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri between kumquat and sweet orange with contrasting canker tolerance.
Citrus canker disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp.citri (Xcc) is one of the most devastating biotic stresses affecting the citrus industry.Meiwa kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia) is canker-resistant, while Newhall navel orange (Citrus sinensis 15-eg1053cl Osbeck) is canker-sensitive.To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the differe
