Mulberry Mediates Resistance to on Transgenic Plants.

Galactitol synthetase (GolS) as a key enzyme in the raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) biosynthesis pathway, which is closely related to stress. At present, there are few studies on GolS in biological stress. The expression of gene in mulberry was increased under infection. The gene was cloned and ectopically expressed in . The content of MDA in leaves of transgenic plants was decreased and the content of CAT was increased after inoculation with . In this study, the role of in biotic stress was demonstrated for the first time. In addition, it was found that may increase the resistance of by interacting with other resistance genes. This study offers a crucial foundation for further research into the role of the GolS2 gene.
