This study identifies AvrRvi6 as a fungal effector that evades Rvi6-mediated immunity in apple, revealing ancient virulence diversity in wild Malus species.

This paper investigates whether CRISPR/Cas9-induced DNA breaks can break linkage drag at the ToMV locus in tomato, but finds no increase in recombination frequency compared to wild-type plants.

This study uses pollen sequencing to analyze recombination patterns in tomato hybrids, identifying coldspots and their association with transposable elements and gene complexes, and proposes strategies to overcome recombination barriers.

This study identifies gRNA efficiency as the main determinant of CRISPR/Cas9-induced inversion rates and sizes in tomato, with large inversions being less frequent due to potential transport limitations.

This study transfers the apple resistance gene Rvi6 to pear and compares the molecular mechanisms of resistance against different scab pathogens in both species.
