Targeting dCas9‐SunTag to a Susceptibility Gene Promoter Is Sufficient for CRISPR Interference

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cassava production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely impacted by diseases. Most pathogens require interaction with host susceptibility factors to complete their life cycles and cause disease. Targeted DNA methylation is an epigenetic strategy to alter gene expression in plants, and we previously reported that a zinc‐finger fused to DMS3 could ...

First Report of Sydowia polyspora Causing Current Season Needle Necrosis on Abies grandis in Sweden

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Current season needle necrosis (CSNN) is a conifer foliar disease and a particular problem for Christmas tree plantations, as it causes necrosis and premature foliage shedding, resulting in significant economic and aesthetic devaluation. In September 2022, CSNN symptoms were detected on 10‐year‐old Abies grandis trees at a plantation located ...
