BcMFSR Is Required for Efficient Uptake of Exogenous dsRNA and Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in Botrytis cinerea

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) uses exogenous dsRNA to silence pathogen genes and control grey mould disease. We identify BcMFSR, an MFS protein required for dsRNA uptake and SIGS efficacy in Botrytis cinerea. Loss of BcMFSR abolishes dsRNA internalization and disease suppression, revealing a novel role for MFS proteins.

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5131-5151, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...

Detecting Chestnut Ink Diseases Through the Dog's Sense of Smell: From Laboratory to Forest

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Canine olfactory abilities were used to distinguish chestnut ink disease caused by Phytophthora spp. A trained detection dog, conditioned with polymer tubes carrying pathogen‐derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs), first detected Phytophthora‐infected roots under controlled conditions and then in chestnut orchards, demonstrating a non‐invasive ...
