Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

Genomic selection of root‐knot nematode (Meloidogyne enterolobii) resistance in watermelon wild relatives (Citrullus amarus)

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Meloidogyne enterolobii is a virulent root‐knot nematode (RKN) species posing a significant threat to watermelon production across the United States. The USDA, ARS, Plant Introduction (PI) collection of Citrullus amarus, a wild relative of cultivated watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), contains RKN‐resistance. However, incorporating RKN resistance

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Citrullus lanatus

Biologia plantarum, 2008
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation was used to produce transgenic watermelon. Cotyledonary explants of Citrullus lanatus Thumb (cv. Daesan) were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium strains (LBA4404, GV3101, EHA101) containing pPTN289 carrying with bar gene and pPTN290 carrying with nptII gene, respectively.

Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum Effector Protein ScAA9 Contributes to Virulence and Triggers Plant Immune Responses

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The AA9 family protein ScAA9 of Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum plays dual roles as both a virulence factor for infection and a PAMP for host immune manipulation, highlighting the complexity of S. cucurbitacearum–host interactions. ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes that either act as virulence factors or are perceived by ...
