This study uses X-ray CT to quantify how AMF and PCN affect root system architecture in tomato and potato plants, showing additive effects of beneficial and pathogenic soil biota.

The paper clones AvrYr7, an effector gene in wheat stripe rust, and identifies variants that evade recognition by the resistance gene Yr7 through sequence and expression differences.

The paper identifies an AvrPstB48 effector from stripe rust fungus that triggers defence responses in wheat but does not directly correlate with disease outcomes.

This paper demonstrates the use of X-ray computed tomography to detect and quantify potato cyst nematodes in soil, proposing its integration with AI for improved pest management.
