New methods and algorithms are being developed for predicting untested phenotypes in schemes commonly used in genomic selection (GS). The prediction of disease resistance in GS has its own peculiarities: a) there is consensus about the additive natur...
Sugarcane is an economically important crop, but its genomic complexity has hindered advances in molecular approaches for genetic breeding. New cultivars are released based on the identification of interesting traits, and for sugarcane, brown rust re...
Lodging is a common problem in rice, reducing its yield and mechanical harvesting efficiency. Rice architecture is a key aspect of its domestication and a major factor that limits its high productivity. The ideal rice culm structure, including major_...
With the increasing volume of high-throughput sequencing data from a variety of omics techniques in the field of plant-pathogen interactions, sorting, retrieving, processing and visualizing biological information have become a great challenge. Within...
The effector repertoire of a pathogen is dynamically evolving. However, the effector translocation mechanism, partly elucidated recently, may be conserved. By targeting the effector translocation machinery, rather than the individual evolving effecto...
BACKGROUND: Potato is the fourth largest food crop in the world, but potato cultivation faces serious threats from various diseases and pests. Despite significant advancements in research on potato disease resistance, these findings are scattered acr...

(Ss) is one of the most devastating fungal pathogens, causing huge yield loss in multiple economically important crops including oilseed rape. Plant resistance to Ss pertains to quantitative disease resistance (QDR) controlled by multiple minor gene...
Fusarium head blight (FHB) remains one of the most destructive diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), causing considerable losses in yield and end-use quality. Phenotyping of FHB resistance traits, Fusarium-damaged kernels (FDK), and deoxynivaleno...
This study investigated the generalizability of Arabidopsis thaliana immune responses across diverse pathogens, including Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Pseudomonas syringae, using a data-driven, machine learning approach. Machine le...
Common ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is under intensive attack from the invasive alien pathogenic fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, causing ash dieback at epidemic levels throughout Europe. Previous studies have found significant genetic variation among gen...
