The receptor‐like protein RXEG1 confers broad‐spectrum resistance in soybean and cotton by recognizing microbial glycoside hydrolase 12 proteins

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Plants diseases cause substantial crop yield loss and threaten food security. Enhancing plant genetic resistance is a major strategy to mitigate the impact of plant diseases on agricultural production. The leucine‐rich repeat receptor‐like protein RXEG1 recognizes the glycoside hydrolase 12 (GH12) protein XEG1 secreted by Phytophthora sojae to ...

QCAV‐4, the first genetically modified Cavendish (cv. Grand Nain) banana resistant to Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 approved for commercial production and consumption

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Bananas (Musa spp.) are a major fruit crop worldwide, with the Cavendish cultivar dominating the export industries, which are based primarily in the Americas and the Philippines. The sustainability of banana production in these, and other regions, is under threat from the fungal disease Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4) which kills Cavendish ...

ScWRKY2: a key regulator for smut resistance in sugarcane

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Sugarcane smut is a worldwide fungal disease caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, which seriously jeopardizes the healthy and sustainable development of the sugarcane industry. WRKY transcription factors are actively involved in plant responses to pathogen infection; however, the mechanisms by which WRKY mediates resistance to sugarcane smut ...

An Australian chickpea pan‐genome provides insights into genome organization and offers opportunities for enhancing drought adaptation for crop improvement

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important legume crop that has been subjected to intensive breeding, resulting in limited genetic diversity. Australia is the world's second largest producer and the leading exporter of chickpea; the genomic architecture of its cultivars remains largely unexplored.

The sls‐1 and sls‐2 Genes Confer Significant Resistance to Septoria Leaf Spot (Septoria lycopersici L.) in Organic Field‐Grown Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Septoria leaf spot (SLS) is a major foliar disease affecting tomato production, causing significant yield losses. This study evaluates the effect of two novel SLS resistance genes, sls‐1 and sls‐2, on SLS severity in open‐field tomatoes and their potential to be used in hybrid tomato varieties.
