Jujube Witches' Broom Phytoplasma Effectors SJP1/2 Manipulate the ZjTCP2-ZjTCP1 Cascade to Repress Leaf Cell Proliferation in Jujube. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
SJP1 and SJP2, two effectors secreted by JWB phytoplasmas, inhibit jujube leaf cell proliferation through manipulating a cascade involving ZjTCP2 and ZjTCP1, two TCP transcription factors from distinct subfamilies. ABSTRACT Leaf development into the final size is spatiotemporally regulated by cell proliferation and expansion. The jujube witches' broom (

Machine learning-driven GWAS uncovers novel candidate genes for resistance to frosty pod rot and witches' broom disease in cacao. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Cacao (Theobroma cacao), the source of chocolate, is threatened by devastating diseases like frosty pod rot (FPR) and witches' broom disease (WBD), impacting global production and farmer livelihoods. Here, we employ a machine learning‐driven genome‐wide association study to dissect the genetic architecture of disease resistance and ...
