The efficacy of cry genes in different plant species is critical for the design and implementation of stewardship plans targeting resistance to polyphagous insects in multiple crops. Transgenic plants of three solanaceous species: Nicotiana tabacum L. (tobacco), Solanum aethiopicum L. (scarlet eggplant), and Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) were therefore

Responses of Root Microbiome and Metabolome Are Linked to Crop Disease Severity
ABSTRACT Plant microorganisms are an essential component of the host and perform critical functions in plant development and health. Emerging evidence shows that plants use their root exudates to recruit beneficial microbes that protect them against abiotic and biotic stresses, including diseases.

Stacking and intersecting nitrogen 4Rs on potato: Nitrogen use efficiency
Abstract The 4Rs of nutrient management are agronomic guidelines with an aim to balance the economic, social, and environmental outcomes of major cropping systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate individual and stacked 4R management practices and their effect on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in “Russet Burbank” potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
