A latent invader: transcriptomics reveals Cercospora zeina’s stealth infection strategy of maize and immune-activating effectors Open
Cercospora zeina is a fungal pathogen that causes gray leaf spot (GLS) disease on maize ( Zea mays L.). Upon landing on a leaf, the pathogen enters through the stomata and continues to develop asymptomatically for up to 28 days before symp…

CRISPR/Cas9-Targeted Mutagenesis of Arabidopsis <em>DMR6 </em>Orthologs in Tobacco Confers Resistance to <em>Phytophthora nicotianae</em> Open
Phytophthora nicotianae is an oomycete pathogen that severely threatens tobacco production worldwide. Though several dominant resistance (R) genes against P. nicotianae are used in tobacco breeding, they often fail due to rapid emergence o…

Genotype Imputation from Low-Coverage WGS Using Haplotype Reference Panels in Cultivated Strawberry Open
Background To implement high-throughput sequencing-based genotyping in a strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ) breeding program, we aimed to construct a haplotype reference panel and explore its utility through genotype dosage imputation of l…

Identifying resistance to aphid Aphis gossypii and whitefly Bemisia tabaci in Cucurbita and possibility of broad-spectrum resistance to both insects Open
Aphids and whiteflies threaten the production of Cucurbita crops by causing damage through feeding and transfer of viruses. The cotton-melon aphid Aphis gossypii and the silverleaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci are two of the major species affec…

Genome-wide identification of cyclic nucleotide-gated channel gene family in Solanum tuberosum and silencing of StCNGC2 provides resistance to Pectobacterium carotovorum Open
Cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel ( CNGC ) genes play vital roles in plant growth, development, and responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the current research on CNGCs in potato (Solanum tuberosum) remain largely unchar…

Screening of Capsicum spp. accessions for resistance to whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 affecting adult survival and nymphal development Open
Whitefly ( Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) is an important pest in pepper ( Capsicum spp.) production, not only because infestations lower the quality of the fruits but also because whiteflies transfer viruses. Therefore, resistant varieties are ur…

Clade V <span> <i>MLO</i> </span> Genes Are Negative Modulators of Cucumber Defence Response to <i>Meloidogyne incognita</i> Open
Cucumber production is seriously constrained by Meloidogyne incognita . Because no resistance resources to the pathogen have been reported, disabling susceptibility genes may represent a novel breeding strategy to introduce resistance agai…
