“…These findings might suggest new research directions to investigate the molecular mechanisms of chickpea Fusarium wilt resistance. These downstream mechanisms are still being elucidated through transcriptomics and metabolomics approaches, implicating the expression of antifungal metabolites, reactive oxidative species, cell-wall remodeling, and the salicylic acid signaling pathway [ 12 , 13 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ], which can also be race-specific [ 55 ].…”
