Transcriptomic signature of Fusarium toxin in chickpea unveiling wilt pathogenicity pathways and marker discovery

- Transcriptomic profiling gives differential gene expression in chickpea challenged with Fusarium toxin in extreme genotypes.
- Nine hub proteins genes found in gene regulatory network analysis with nodes having degree centrality more than 28.
- Reported DEGs controlled by miRNAs can be promising genomic resource for silencing technology in disease management.
- Elucidated key pathways and its genes can be targeted for future marker discovery and used for sustainable wilt management.
