Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Nature CommunicationsNLR 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

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Angular leaf spot (ALS), caused by Xanthomonas fragariae, is a bacterial disease that limits strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) productivity worldwide. Although major resistance loci have been identified in wild Fragaria species, their introgression into elite germplasm remains constrained by linkage drag and inconsistent inheritance. To dissect

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Horticulture, 2017 In Romania the most important pathogens on tomatoes crops are Alternaria porri f.sp. solani, Botrytis cinerea, Fulvia fulva, Phytophthora infestans and Erysiphe sp. During period of vegetation, the attack of mentioned pathogens are frequently overlapping.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Modulation of plant autophagy during pathogen attack [PDF]
, 2017 In plants, the highly conserved catabolic process of autophagy has long been known as a means of maintaining cellular homeostasis and coping with abiotic stress conditions. Accumulating evidence has linked autophagy to immunity against invading pathogens,
