Popis: Fusarium wilt in Cymbidium ensifolium, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is highly contagious and poses a severe hazard. It significantly reduces the ornamental value of C. ensifolium and causes substantial economic losses in agricultural production. Nucleotide-binding site–leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes are key regulatory factors in plant disease resistance responses, playing vital roles in defending against pathogen invasions. In our study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the NBS-LRR gene family in the genome of Cymbidium ensifolium. Phylogenetic analysis identified a total of 31 NBS-LRR genes encoding NB-ARC proteins, which were categorized into five classes (CNL, CN, NL, N, RNL) based on their protein structural domains. These genes were found to be unevenly distributed across eight chromosomes. Physicochemical analysis revealed significant variances in molecular weight and sequence length among the family members. Subcellular localization results indicated that most genes primarily reside in the cytoplasm and cell membrane, suggesting that the primary sites of disease resistance responses may be the cell membrane and cyto-plasm. Furthermore, noticeable disparities were observed in gene structures and conserved motifs among different categories of family genes. Promoter analysis indicated that cis-regulatory elements are mainly associated with plant stress, jasmonic acid, gibberellin, and other development-related factors, suggesting that CeNBS-LRR genes mainly resist external stress through hormones such as abscisic acid and jasmonic acid. We characterized twenty-seven CeNBS-LRR gene expression patterns of healthy C. ensifolium at different periods after Fusarium wilt infection, and found that those genes exhibit a temporospatial expression pattern, and that their expression is also responsive to Fusarium wilt infection. By analyzing the expression pattern via transcriptome and qRT-PCR, we speculated that JL006442 and JL014305 may play key roles in resisting Fusarium wilt. This study lays the groundwork and holds considerable significance as a reference for identifying disease-resistant genes and facilitating genetic breeding in C. ensifolium.
