Efficiency of RNAi‐based gene silencing in fungi: a meta‐analysis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Mechanistic interpretation of RNAi efficiency across fungal lifestyles and delivery strategies based on the present meta‐analysis. Summary RNA interference (RNAi) shows great potential to protect crops against fungal diseases, yet reported protection efficiencies vary greatly, and our understanding of the factors responsible for this variance remains ...

Broomrape weeds. Underground mechanisms of parasitism and associated strategies for their control: a review.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Broomrapes are plant-parasitic weeds which constitute one of the most difficult-to-control of all biotic constraints that affect crops in Mediterranean, central and eastern Europe, and Asia.

Cytokinins Promote Rust Susceptibility in Poplar by Suppressing Defence Signalling, Reducing Defence Accumulation and Reprogramming Primary Metabolism

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytokinins (CKs), classically recognised as plant growth regulators, are increasingly implicated in plant‐microbe interactions. Studies in herbaceous plants suggest that CKs can function as signalling molecules with dual roles in plant defence, either restricting or facilitating pathogen infection.

Subversion of plant endomembrane trafficking by a Plasmodiophora brassicae effector PbALE that recruits membrane components at the host–pathogen interface to aid in colonization

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 5, Page 2006-2023, December 2026.
Schematics of ΔSPPbALE‐induced disruption of plant endomembrane trafficking impairs both preinvasive and postinvasive immunity against filamentous fungi and facilitates intracellular colonization by Plasmodiophora brassicae. Summary Plasmodiophora brassicae, an intracellular biotrophic protist that causes clubroot in crucifers, extensively alters the ...

CRISPR gene editing to improve crop resistance to parasitic plants

Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2023
Parasitic plants pose a significant threat to global agriculture, causing substantial crop losses and hampering food security. In recent years, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) gene-editing technology has emerged as a ...

Modulation of Anaphase‐Promoting Complex Genes Regulates Root‐Knot Nematode Gall Development and Plant Susceptibility

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 10379-10400, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The anaphase‐promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is a multi‐subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates cell cycle progression, but its role in plant‐pathogen interactions is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that regulation of the ubiquitin–proteasome system, involving APC/C‐associated components, is critical for coordinating host cell ...

LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN 25 functions as a key regulator of haustorium development in dodders [PDF]

, 2021
Parasitic plants reduce crop yield worldwide. Dodder (Cuscuta campestris) is a stem parasite that attaches to its host, using haustoria to extract nutrients and water. We analyzed the transcriptome of six C.

From Plants to Animals: Cross‐Kingdom Infection by Fungal Phytopathogens

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi exhibit significant ecological diversity that is under pressure from climate change, yet their relevance to both human and ecosystem health remains underexplored within the One Health framework. Several phytopathogenic lineages have demonstrated the ability to infect vertebrate hosts.

Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 315-334, September 2026.
This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.
