We identified a correlation between flower size and resistance to yellow leaf disease in Phalaenopsis orchids. The expression of PeCIN8 may regulate the two traits in the disease-resistant cultivars. These findings can be applied to Phalaenopsis breeding programs to develop resistant cultivars against yellow leaf disease.
