Machine Learning and Statistical Models for Genomic Selection of Phytophthora Fruit Rot Resistance in Watermelon
Breeding for Phytophthora fruit rot (PFR) resistance caused by the devastating pathogen Phytophthora capsici remains challenging in watermelon mainly due to phenotyping constraints. To overcome these bottlenecks, we developed and validat...

Comparative Analyses of the Order Enterobacterales Support the Importance of Methyl-Accepting Chemotaxis Proteins and ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters in the Pathogenicity of Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae
Methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) are bacterial chemoreceptors that sense environmental and intracellular signals and regulate flagellar rotation through interactions with Che proteins. Some MCPs interact with ATP-binding casse...

Temporal Dynamics of Viral Load and Genomic Diversity of Plantago Asiatica Mosaic Virus During Long-Term Infection in a Herbaceous Perennial
Plant positive-strand RNA viruses exhibit high mutation rates that drive genetic diversity and adaptation to different hosts. While herbaceous perennials potentially serve as reservoirs for viral diversification through persistent infect...

Plant Pathology and the Qualitative Social Sciences: Toward an Interdisciplinary Dialogue
This article attends to recent calls from plant pathology to advance toward interdisciplinary approaches. It argues for the importance of qualitative social science as a catalyst for new research and strategies to foreground the societal...

Fungicide Resistance Mutations to Oxathiapiprolin Display Clade-Specific Occurrence in Pseudoperonospora cubensis , Causal agent of Cucurbit Downy Mildew
Pseudoperonospora cubensis, the causal agent of cucurbit downy mildew, causes severe annual losses in cucurbit production. Management relies on frequent fungicide applications, with oxathiapiprolin (OXTP; FRAC 49) being a cornerstone of ...

Transmission of Xanthomonas translucens Associated with Wheat and Barley Seed
Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa (Xtu) and X. translucens pv. translucens (Xtt) on wheat and barley, respectively, persists as a threat to wheat and barley production. Seed is often implicated a...

FgPel2 , a Secreted Pectate Lyase, Acts as a Virulence Factor in Fusarium graminearum
Pectate lyases (Pels) are critical cell wall-degrading enzymes that facilitate plant infection by many phytopathogens. However, their functional contributions in Fusarium graminearum remain largely unexplored. Here, we identified and fun...

Mechanism of the Non-Host Flavonoid Nobiletin in Inhibiting the Phytopathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating phytopathogenic fungus with a broad host range, which is partly attributed to its ability to detoxify a wide array of host-derived secondary metabolites. Among these, flavonoids are one of the mo...
