This study identifies and validates the role of polyketide reductase in anthraquinone biosynthesis in Aloe vera using CRISPR/Cas9 and biochemical analysis.

The paper uses RNA-seq to analyze gene expression in resistant and susceptible chili pepper landraces infected with P. capsici, identifying differentially expressed genes and transcription factor families involved in defense responses.

The paper identifies known and novel miRNAs and their target genes in resistant and susceptible Capsicum annuum landraces during Phytophthora capsici infection, revealing differential expression patterns and regulatory roles in disease response.
