AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, citrus fruits are susceptible to green mold disease caused by Penicillium finger infection after harvest, leading to rot. Traditional chemical control methods have problems such as environmental pollution and pathogen resistance, and lack green and efficient disease control strategies.
By screening and identifying the CsALKBH8 gene and its encoded protein, the gene was transiently overexpressed in citrus fruits using an Agrobacterium-mediated method to regulate the disease resistance of the fruits and enhance their resistance to Penicillium digitatum infection.
It significantly reduced the incidence and diameter of lesions on the fruit, increased the expression level of disease resistance-related genes, provided a green and efficient means of disease control, and provided genetic resources for the breeding of superior citrus fruit varieties.
