Arabidopsis GDSL1 overexpression enhances rapeseed Sclerotinia sclerotiorum resistance and the functional identification of its homolog in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 1255-1270, May 2020., 2020
Summary Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating disease of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). To date, the genetic mechanisms of rapeseed’ interactions with S. sclerotiorum are not fully understood, and molecular‐based breeding is still the most effective control strategy for this disease.

Seed Proteomic Profiles of Three Paeonia Varieties and Evaluation of Peony Seed Protein as a Food Product

BioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Peony (Paeonia) has high ornamental, edible, and medicinal values. In order to distinguish seeds varieties, describe the proteomic profiles correlated with stress tolerance, and evaluate peony seed protein (PSP) as a functional food product, we characterized the seed protein profiles of these three species and their glucosidase inhibition activities ...

Managing Brown Rot Disease of Citrus Fruit Using Plant Extracts

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown rot, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae and P. citrophthora, is a major disease of citrus fruit, leading to significant economic losses globally. Conventional fungicides are commonly used to manage this disease, but concerns have been raised due to environmental persistence, human toxicity and the emergence of resistant strains.
