Histone demethylase CsJMJ12 enhances resistance of Navel orange to Penicillium digitatum via H3K27me3 demethylation

This study identifies CsJMJ12 as a potential epigenetic regulator of P. digitatum resistance in Navel orange. Our findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanism of pathogen defense in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis). Further studies are needed to explore its broader application in agricultural practices and postharvest disease management.
