Genome-wide characterization of the chitinase gene family in wild apple (Malus sieversii) and domesticated apple (Malus domestica) reveals its role in resistance to Valsa mali
Chitinases are responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of chitin and contribute to plant defense against fungal pathogens by degrading fungal chitin. In this study, genome-wide identification of the chitinase gene family of wild apple (Malus sieversii) and domesticated apple (Malus domestica) was...
