(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...
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...
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_...
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...
The research on resistance genes (R-gene) plays a vital role in bioinformatics as it has the capability of coping with adverse changes in the external environment, which can form the corresponding resistance protein by transcription and translation. ...
Plant disease outbreak is increasing rapidly around the globe and is a major cause for crop loss worldwide. Plants, in turn, have developed diverse defense mechanisms to identify and evade different pathogenic microorganisms. Early identification of ...
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-w...
The increasing global reliance on aquaculture is challenged by disease outbreaks, exacerbated by antibiotic resistance, and environmental stressors. Traditional strategies, such as antibiotic treatments and chemical interventions, are becoming less e...
