Stem rot, caused by the fungal pathogen Agroathelia rolfsii , is a devastating disease in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.), resulting in substantial global agricultural losses. This study employed RNA sequencing to unravel the molecular mechanisms of resistance by analysing the gene expression profiles of a resistant peanut genotype (Georgia-03 L) and a susceptible genotype (Valencia C) under normal and infected conditions.
