Genome-Wide Identification of NLR Gene Family and Expression Patterns in Response to Colletotrichum camelliae Infection in Tea Plant (Camellia sinensis)

Background

Colletotrichum camelliae is an important fungal disease in tea plants (Camellia sinensis), and NLR gene family play a central role in plant disease resistance recognition. Analyzing the expression characteristics and regulatory network of NLR genes in tea plants in response to anthracnose infection can provide a theoretical basis for exploring key genes for tea plant resistance to anthracnose and elucidating the molecular mechanisms of disease resistance.
