This study provides field evidence that Thrips hawaiiensis can acquire Ralstonia solanacearum from infected banana flowers, supporting its role as a potential vector for Bugtok disease in cooking bananas.

The paper develops and validates allele-specific RLK gene markers for BBTV resistance in banana, identifying polymorphic markers that distinguish Musa genotypes and reveal genetic diversity.

The paper uses RNA-Seq to compare gene expression in susceptible and resistant maize lines infected with downy mildew, identifying DEGs involved in resistance mechanisms.

This study uses RNA-seq to compare gene expression in resistant and susceptible banana genotypes infected with BBTV, identifying DEGs associated with resistance mechanisms.

This study analyzes the genetic structure and diversity of BBTV isolates in the Philippines, identifying three haplotype groups and suggesting recent population expansion.

The paper identifies and characterizes resistance gene analogs (RGAs) in mango using transcriptomic data, establishing a core RGA database and providing insights into their functional diversity and potential use in breeding.
