Integrated physiological and transcriptomic analyses were subsequently performed using the highly resistant cultivar \u2018Akihime\u2019 (ZJ) and the highly susceptible cultivar \u2018Ning Yu\u2019 (NY).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Resistant resources were abundant, particularly among wild strawberry accessions. Compared with NY, ZJ exhibited higher soluble sugar accumulation, reduced oxidative damage, and increased peroxidase (POD) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activities. Transcriptomic analyses revealed distinct temporal response patterns: ZJ underwent rapid and extensive transcriptional reprogramming at 24 h post-inoculation, whereas NY showed limited early responses but pronounced changes at 120 h. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses indicated that the early response of ZJ was mainly associated with stress-related processes, jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, transmembrane transport, plant\u2013pathogen interaction, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, glutathione metabolism, plant hormone signal transduction, and secondary metabolism. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validation supported the RNA-seq results and identified candidate genes associated with pathogen recognition, signaling, redox regulation, and protein homeostasis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results indicate that rapid early immune activation and coordinated physiological and metabolic reprogramming are closely associated with strawberry resistance to Fof and provide useful germplasm and candidate genes for future functional validation and resistance breeding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2026.1861706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]],"date-time":"2026-08-31T05:40:23Z","timestamp":1788154823000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Rapid transcriptional reprogramming underlies Fusarium wilt resistance in strawberry: insights from comparative physiological and transcriptomic analyses"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Hong","family":"Wan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Vegetable Germplasm Innovation and Support Production Technology of Yunnan Province, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Vegetable Germplasm Innovation and Support Production Technology of Yunnan Province, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanbing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Modern Agricultural Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Vegetable Germplasm Innovation and Support Production Technology of Yunnan Province, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiwei","family":"Ruan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flower Research Institute, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences","place":["Kunming, Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deneng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huize County Fruit Workstation, Huize","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiwei","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huize County Institute of Key Industrial Technology, Huize","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pang","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Vegetable Germplasm Innovation and Support Production Technology of Yunnan Province, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Horticulture Research Institute, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Vegetable Germplasm Innovation and Support Production Technology of Yunnan Province, Kunming","place":["Yunnan, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"884","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bty560","article-title":"fastp: an ultra-fast all-in-one FASTQ preprocessor","volume":"34","author":"Chen","year":"2018","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1777","DOI":"10.1007\/s12298-024-01523-9","article-title":"Changes in soluble sugars and the expression of sugar transporter protein genes in strawberry crowns responding to Colletotrichum fructicola infection","volume":"30","author":"Chen","year":"2024","journal-title":"Physiol.
