A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Dual‐Role GH7 Family Proteins From Verticillium dahliae Function as Virulence Factors and Intracellular Effectors Triggering NLR‐Mediated Immunity

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
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

An Explainable and Lightweight CNN Framework for Robust Potato Leaf Disease Classification Using Grad‐CAM Visualization

Applied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Proposed model achieves 99.14% accuracy with near‐perfect precision, recall, and F1 across all classes; Grad‐CAM visualizations confirm focus on biologically relevant symptom‐associated regions. ABSTRACT For identifying foliar diseases in crops at an early stage, accurate detection is necessary in maintaining food security, minimizing economic losses ...

Chloroplasts alter their morphology and accumulate at the pathogen interface during infection by Phytophthora infestans

bioRxiv, 2019
Upon immune activation, chloroplasts switch off photosynthesis, produce anti-microbial compounds, and associate with the nucleus through tubular extensions called stromules.

Scarring and Selection in the Great Irish Famine

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 189-220, February 2026.
Abstract How do famines shape the health of survivors? We examine the long‐term impact of the Great Irish Famine (1845–52) on human stature, distinguishing between adverse scarring effects and the apparent resilience of survivors due to selection. Using anthropometric data from more than 14500 individuals born before, during, and after this famine, we ...

Conserved effector families render Phytophthora species vulnerable to recognition by NLR receptors in nonhost plants

Nature Communications
NLR receptor is suggested as a component of plant nonhost resistance (NHR). However, the evolutionary process of how plants develop receptors for recognizing broad-spectrum pathogens is still elusive. Here, we observe that multiple RxLR effector families

Phytophthora infestans RXLR Effectors Target Parallel Steps in an Immune Signal Transduction Pathway1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2019
Two P. infestans effectors, PexRD2 and Pi22926, target two parallel MAP3K proteins in the same signal transduction pathway to promote P. infestans colonization. The potato (Solanum tuberosum) blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans delivers Arg-X-Leu-Arg (

Integration of Colorimetric Sensing Dyes and Multi‐Substrate Arrays for Food Quality and Safety Monitoring: Design, Optimization, and Analysis

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT As food safety issues gain increasing attention, the need for rapid, accurate, and low‐cost detection techniques becomes essential. Colorimetric sensors, known for their rapid response, high sensitivity, low cost, and readily observable results, are playing an increasingly important role in food quality inspection. This review article provides

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Revealed Genes Regulated by Histone Acetylation and Genes Related to Sex Hormone Biosynthesis in Phytophthora infestans

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans, is one of the most devastating diseases of potato, and was responsible for the death of millions of people during the Irish Potato Famine in the nineteenth century.
