FP25100Comprehensive evaluation of agronomic traits, physiological responses, and gene expression in chickpea cultivars under fungal stress

An integrative analysis of chickpea cultivars under Fusarium wilt stress demonstrated cultivars’ specific agronomic, physiological, and gene expression responses. Increased antioxidant enzyme activity and upregulation of defense-related genes, such as WRKY55 and MADS-box TF23-like, were correlated with resistance. These results are worth using in breeding Fusarium-resistant chickpea cultivars.
