Abstract Background Leaf mold disease caused by Cladosporium fulvum is a major disease in cultivated tomato plants and affects global tomato production. Some Cf genes, of which Cf-16 is an effective gene for resisting tomato leaf mold, are associated with leaf mold resistance; however, the molecular mechanism is largely unknown. Results we used comparative transcriptome analysis of C. fulvum-resistant (cv. Ontario7816, including the Cf-16 gene) and C. fulvum-susceptible (cv. Moneymaker) tomato lines to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 4 and 8 days postinfection with C. fulvum. We found that the number of DEGs in the Cf-16 tomatoes was significantly higher than the number of DEGs in the Moneymaker tomatoes. In addition, 1,350 DEGs were shared among Cf-16 groups at 4 and 8 dpi, suggesting the existence of a common core of DEGs in response to C. fulvum infection. Upregulated DEGs were mainly associated with defense processes and phytohormone signaling, including salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA), in the Cf-16 tomato. Moreover, the SA and JA contents significantly increased in the Cf-16 tomato at the early stages of C. fulvum infection. Comprehensively, more upregulated DEGs were found in the Cf-16 tomato than in the Cf-10 and Cf-12 tomatoes at the early stage of C. fulvum infection. However, the significantly enriched defense-signaling pathways involved in Cf-16 had some distinctions from those in Cf-10 and Cf-12. Conclusion Our results provide new insights into the resistance response mechanism of Cf genes to C. fulvum, especially the unique characteristics of Cf-16 in response to C. fulvum infection.
