The paper monitors 199 plots of disease-resistant grapevine varieties over 8 years, showing reduced fungicide use with maintained disease control, but also resistance decline and emerging black rot issues.

The paper analyzes genomic diversity in the rice landrace Acuce to understand its resistance to pathogens and agricultural traits, finding high diversity and selection pressures in immunity genes.

This study shows that benzoxazinoids exuded by maize roots are taken up by rice roots, triggering chromatin changes and systemic chemical defense that reduce rice blast disease.

The paper reports the breakdown of Rpv1 and Rpv3.1 resistance in grapevine due to virulent Plasmopara viticola isolates overcoming both resistance genes in multiple vineyards.
