Genomic prediction of resistance to Phytophthora megakarya in cacao from a sparse host-pathogen screen

This study predicts cacao resistance to Phytophthora megakarya using genomic data, finding that host genomic relationships are more predictive than pathogen relatedness in a structured host-pathogen system.

Evaluating cacao pod resistance to black pod disease caused by three Phytophthora species

This study evaluates cacao pod resistance to black pod disease caused by three Phytophthora species using lesion size and expansion data from 25 clones and 13 isolates.

Seed Microbiome Transfer Mitigates Intergenerational Dysbiosis, Modulates Plant Defenses and Suppresses Foliar Disease

This study shows that seed microbiome transfer can restore disease resistance and microbiome function in tomato progeny affected by parental antibiotic-induced dysbiosis.

Chromosome-scale de novo diploid assembly of the apple cultivar 'Gala Galaxy'

This study de novo assembles a diploid and heterozygous genome of the apple cultivar 'Gala Galaxy' using long- and short-read sequencing and optical mapping, providing a high-quality reference genome for apple breeding.
