Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Optimization of CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated CtPDS knockout in guar protoplasts

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub.) is a climate‐resilient legume with industrial and agricultural applications. Recently, gene editing has emerged as a key genetic tool for crop improvement. Despite its recent increasing value as a commodity for various uses, there is no documented report of gene editing work in guar to date.

Inheritance of Growth Habit in Pigeonpea [PDF]

Crop Science, 1991
Determinate (DT) pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] has a production advantage but the genetics of this trait and indeterminate (IDT)and semideterminate (SDT) growth habits are not well defined. Inheritance of DT, SDT, and IDT growth habits in short duration pigeonpea was studied in F1, F2, and BC1F1 generations of 15 crosses involving six parents (

Phenotypic Validation and SSR Marker Association in Sesame Germplasm Contrasting for Dry Root Rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) Tolerance

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop of family Pedaliaceae, known for its quality oil, supplemented with dietary advantages due to the presence of bioactive compounds like sesamin and sesamolin. Phyllody and dry root rot (DRR) are the two major biotic stress factors that cause significant yield reduction and economic loss in ...

Oviposition and larval establishment of three ‘generalist’ noctuids on Capsicum annuum

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the oviposition and foraging behaviour of pestiferous lepidopterans on their economically important food plants guides the development of effective pest management tactics. Here, we examined the oviposition behaviour and larval establishment of three noctuid species on a single crop—capsicum (Capsicum annuum).
