Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics

This study refines the NLRome of Brassica napus using RenSeq, increasing annotated NLR genes from 345 to 715 and identifying genomic regions with misannotations.

This study identifies PbEGF1, an effector from Plasmodiophora brassicae, which manipulates plant immunity and promotes infection by degrading BnNHL13.

This study identifies a genetic locus associated with fungal pathogen resistance in wild tobacco plants, showing frequency- and spatially-dependent effects in mixed populations.

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.

MPSeqM combines multiplex PCR and sequencing to analyze polymorphism in eight AvrLm genes of L. maculans, showing high correlation with pathotyping and enabling large-scale monitoring of virulent isolates.

The paper presents a near telomere-to-telomere, haplotype-phased genome of Rhizoctonia cerealis, revealing gene enrichment and population genomic patterns.

Time series RNA-Seq analysis of rice variety BPT-5204 identifies key molecular signatures involved in rice plant response to R. solani infection.

The paper identifies natural epigenetic variation linked to partial resistance to clubroot in Arabidopsis through QTL analysis and methylation studies.

This study identifies 528 SNPs associated with virulence in Magnaporthe oryzae isolates from sub-Saharan Africa using GWAS and disease ratings.

The paper identifies two NBS-LRR genes, Pii-1 and Pii-2, that together confer resistance to rice blast disease in rice.
