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 ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.IMI/TMX priming induces resistance to Phytophthora capsici by balancing ROS and suppressing RNA‐seq‐identified susceptibility genes, including CaNEN4, for sustainable management of pepper Phytophthora blight. ABSTRACT The oomycete Phytophthora capsici causes Phytophthora blight, a major constraint on global pepper production.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3003-3020, March 2026.Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

Phylogeny of mangrove oomycetes [PDF]
, 2021 Taxa under scrutiny in this thesis are Halophytophthora-like oomycetes. The genus Halophytophthora, proposed in 1990, is an assemblage of unrelated species grouped together on the basis habitat preference, i.e. the mangrove or saltmarsh biome, and morphological similarity to Phytophthora.

Uncovering Convergent Pattern Recognition Receptors Recognising Phytophthora Across Plant Lineages
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1098-1109, March 2026.ABSTRACT Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are pivotal for plant immunity, yet their discovery in crops is hindered by lineage‐specific divergence. We demonstrate that microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) often activate immunity through phylogenetically unrelated, convergently evolved PRRs across plant lineages.

Prevention and control of weeds, pests and diseases [PDF]
, 2009 Weed control still requires major investments of money and labour in organic arable farming and field vegetable cultivation. For this reason, current research is focused to a large extent on the development of weed control strategies.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1598-1619, March 2026.ABSTRACT Stalk rot, primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum (Fg) and Pythium inflatum (Pi), is a major maize disease responsible for significant yield losses. The molecular mechanisms governing defence against these pathogens remain poorly understood. To uncover key miRNAs and their regulatory genes, small RNA, degradome, and transcriptome sequencing ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1491-1504, March 2026.ABSTRACT Cell wall–degrading enzymes are viewed as extracellular virulence factors. However, their potential to act as immune elicitors and interact with intracellular immune receptors remains poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that six conserved glycoside hydrolase 7 (GH7) family proteins from the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae have dual roles
