Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Resistance profile of improved cassava germplasm to cassava mosaic disease in Nigeria
Euphytica, 2006 Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) caused by a group of begomoviruses and transmitted by whitefly vector is a serious disease in all the cassava-growing areas of Africa. Field evaluation with replication was conducted in 2003 and 2004 in three agroecologies in Nigeria to study the response of 40 cassava genotypes to CMD and to investigate genotype ...

Plant pathogen profiling with the EpiPvr package
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 837-849, March 2026.Abstract This study introduces a flexible framework for epidemiological profiling of insect‐borne plant pathogens (IBPPs), utilising readily available experimental data. The framework is applicable to most IBPPs transmitted by insects feeding on plant veins, with particular relevance to whitefly‐borne viruses that impact cassava production in sub ...

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.In this study maize chloroplastic malate dehydrogenase7 (ZmMDH7), is identified as a Rhizoctonia solani resistance gene in maize. ZmMDH7 is regulated by transcription factor ZmWRKY44 via pathogens challenge to elevate mitochondrial ROS and SA signaling pathway.

, 2012 Le manioc est l'aliment de base d'un demi-milliard de personnes en Afrique. La maladie de la mosaïque ou cassava mosaic disease (CMD) causée par l'infection des bégomovirus du manioc ou cassava mosaic geminiviruses (CMGs) est une des contraintes majeures de sa culture en Afrique et à Madagascar. Ce travail de thèse traite (1) l'inventaire complet de la

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 ...
