To address this, RNA sequencing was performed on resistant C. arabica (accession UFV 408-28) roots inoculated or not with M. incognita at six days post-inoculation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that among the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to infection, miraculin-like protein (MLP) genes exhibited a strong response to the biotic stress induced by the pathogen. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis indicated that the endopeptidase inhibitor activity, where MLPs are categorized, was the most significantly upregulated group.  aCoffea arabica var. arabica  aImmune response  aMiraculin  aPlant-pathogen interaction  aRoot-knot nematode  aRT-qPCR1 aNASCIMENTO, E.
