Phenotypic and transcriptomic analyses reveal major differences between apple and pear scab nonhost resistance by Vergne, Emilie, Chevreau, Elisabeth, Ravon, Elisa, Gaillard, Sylvain, Pelletier, Sandra, Bahut, Muriel, Perchepied, Laure

“…Pre-invasive defense, such as stomatal closure, could be inferred, as well as several post-invasive defense mechanisms (apoplastic reactive oxygen species accumulation, phytoalexin production and alterations of the epidermis composition). In addition, a comparative analysis between pear scab host and nonhost interactions indicated that, although specificities were observed, two major defense lines seems to be shared in these resistances: cell wall and cuticle potential modifications and phenylpropanoid pathway induction. …”
