Progress and Challenges in Faba Bean Genetic Engineering

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes are essential for global food security, serving as a vital source of plant‐based protein and playing a significant role in sustainable agricultural practices. Among legumes, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is noteworthy due to its high‐protein content, broad climate adaptation, and suitability for cultivation in temperate regions.

Constructing Haustorium-Specific cDNA Libraries from Rust Fungi [PDF]

, 2011
The haustorium is a distinguishing feature of biotrophic plant pathogens. Several highly diverged -pathogen classes have independently evolved haustoria, suggesting that they represent an effective adaptation for growing within living plant tissue.

Overview of the functional virulent genome of the coffee leaf rust pathogen Hemileia vastatrix with an emphasis on early stages of infection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Hemileia vastatrix is the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, the most important disease of coffee (Coffea arabica). In this work, a 454-pyrosequencing transcriptome analysis of H.

Disarming the Pathogen's Metabolic Weapon: A Novel Route to Durable Disease Resistance

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
Two routes to sugar acquisition in pathogenic bacteria and corresponding ‘pathogen‐starvation’ strategies. TAL effectors activate plant SWEET transporters to promote sucrose efflux into the apoplast, which can be blocked by editing SWEET promoter effector‐binding elements to prevent TAL binding. The T3E AvrBs2 converts host UDP‐galactose into xanthosan,

Deciphering the soybean root rot pathogen Phytophthora sojae: Signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and effector biology

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...

Transformation and regeneration of the holoparasitic plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca

Plant Methods, 2011
Background Transformation and subsequent regeneration of holoparasitic plants has never been reported, in part due to challenges in developing transformation protocols, but also because regeneration of obligate parasites is difficult since their survival

Wheat's war against stripe rust: Integrating host immunity, genomics and breeding for durable resistance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

Unveiling coralline diversity of mesophotic rhodoliths in subtropical Japan, including new species of Sporolithon, emended genera Orientalilithon and Roseolithon (Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 1044-1070, June 2026.
Abstract The mesophotic zone off Tanegashima Island (approximately 30–40 m deep) is a marine macroalgal hotspot in subtropical Japan; however, the taxonomic diversity of calcifying red algal community remains poorly understood. Our phylogenetic analyses based on psbA, rbcL, and COI‐5P gene markers disclosed the presence of at least 12 rhodolith‐forming

Accelerated Haustoria Segmentation Enables Rapid Gene Function Analysis in Cereal–Powdery Mildew Pathosystems

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Reliable, high-throughput quantification of early fungal infection events is crucial for gene function studies, but it remains labor-intensive. We report an openly available pipeline that automates the detection of β-glucuronidase (GUS)-stained epidermal
