Identification of promising host-induced silencing targets among genes preferentially transcribed in haustoria of Puccinia [PDF]

, 2015
The cereal rust fungi are destructive pathogens that affect grain production worldwide. Although the genomic and transcript sequences for three Puccinia species that attack wheat have been released, the functions of large repertories of genes from ...

Arsenic Resistance Protein BcArs2 Modulates Endogenous ROS Homeostasis in Infection Cushions to Enhance the Virulence of Botrytis cinerea Toward Host Plants

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
BcARS2 negatively regulates catalase gene expression and CAT activity, and positively regulates BcCGF1 to maintain intracellular H2O2 homeostasis. This mediates infection‑cushion development and facilitates toxin biosynthesis, ultimately governing the pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea.

Defense and Counter-Defense: Host-Induced Gene Silencing & Phytophthora Suppressor of RNA Silencing [PDF]

, 2022
Since microorganisms first evolved to attack plants, there has been a constant evolutionary arms race. Plants evolve defensive mechanisms to protect themselves from pathogens that evolve countermeasures. One instance is host-induced gene silencing (HIGS),

Host-Induced Gene Silencing: A Powerful Strategy to Control Diseases of Wheat and Barley

, 2019
Wheat and barley are the most highly produced and consumed grains in the world. Various pathogens—viruses, bacteria, fungi, insect pests, and nematode parasites—are major threats to yield and economic losses.

The role of TNRC6 proteins in gene silencing [PDF]

, 2013
Proteins of the GW182 family have recently emerged as key players in miRNAmediated gene silencing. They have been shown to interact with Argonaute proteins, components of the RISC and are assumed to mediate the repression in metazoa. Three paralogues are

Defense pathways in Arabidopsis restricting compatible tobamoviruses during infection [PDF]

, 2014
Virus infected plants often develop strong disease symptoms including leaf deformation, chlorosis, necrosis and growth inhibition. In agriculture systems virus infection can lead to severe yield losses and a better understanding of plant defenses against

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Hijacking the Host Clock: A Nematode Effector Antagonizes Soybean Circadian Defense and Translation Control

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Soybean employs its circadian clock, governed by GmCCA1, to rhythmically defend against soybean cyst nematodes. The pathogen retaliates by secreting the effector Hg4E02, which hijacks the clock to suppress defense and co‐opt the host's translation machinery for nutrient acquisition.

Efficacy of Select Gene Targets for the Management of Western Flower Thrips Through RNA Interference

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.
Western flower thrips (WFT) cause extensive damage to crops. RNA interference (RNAi) is being extensively researched for the management of this pest. We successfully demonstrated the uptake of dsRNA by WFT through artificial diet feeding and identified Promising new targets for the development of RNAi‐based pesticides have been identified.
