Fragaria x ananassa Raw sequence reads
Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae (Fof) severely constrains strawberry production. To elucidate the underlying resistance mechanisms, integrated physiological and transcriptomic analyses (RNA-seq) were performed in a highly resistant strawberry cultivar ('Akihime', ZJ) and a susceptible cultivar ('Ning Yu', NY) across different time points post-inoculation. Transcriptomic profiling revealed distinct temporal response patterns, showing that rapid early immune activation and coordinated metabolic reprogramming are critical for strawberry resistance to Fof.
