Article Abstract

Downy mildew caused by the obligate parasite is a devastating disease for species. Infection of often leads to yellow spots on leaves, which significantly impacts quality and yield of pakchoi. In the present study, we conducted a comparative transcriptome between the resistant and susceptible pakchoi cultivars in response to infection. A total of 1073 disease-resistance-related differentially expressed genes were identified using a Venn diagram. The Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses revealed that these genes were mainly involved in plant-pathogen interaction, plant hormone signal transduction, and other photosynthesis-related metabolic processes. Analysis of the phytohormone content revealed that salicylic acid increased significantly in the resistant material after inoculation with , whereas the contents of jasmonic acid, abscisic acid, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid decreased. Exogenous salicylic acid treatment also significantly upregulated -induced genes, which further confirmed a crucial role of salicylic acid during pakchoi defense against . Based on these findings, we suggest that the salicylic-acid-mediated signal transduction contributes to the resistance of pakchoi to downy mildew, and and were involved in this responsive process. Our findings evidently contribute to revealing the molecular mechanism of pakchoi defense against .

The Ash Gourd dataset is valuable since it was collected from the diverse regions within the district of Dhaka in Bangladesh. This dataset represents one of the first attempts to document, elicit, and categorize the health conditions of Ash Gourd (Benincasa hispida) plants in Bangladesh based on healthy samples, aphid plurality, downy mildew, leaf curl, and leaf miner-infested categories. Ash Gourd is one of the region's most important vegetables because of its nutritional and economic value; thus, it is essential to know diseases' manifestation in the improvement of agricultural productivity.

Nonexpressor of pathogenesis-related genes 1 (NPR1) is a master regulator of salicylic acid (SA)- facilitated plant hormone signaling and plays a crucial role in plant defense through the activation of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Although like genes are associated with stress responses in a variety of plant species, no thorough genome-wide investigation of these genes has been undertaken in pearl millet (). This study discovered seven -like genes on four pearl millet chromosomes (Chr1, Chr2, Chr4, and Chr6), which exhibit close affinity to NPRs from other plants and have common gene structures, conserved motifs, and domains.

Introduction: Grapevine is highly susceptible to fungal diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew, which are traditionally managed through the intensive use of chemical fungicides. However, in the context of increasingly sustainable viticulture, biofungicides derived from plant and yeast extracts are gaining attention. Despite this, their impact on the grapevine leaf microbiome, crucial for plant health and disease resilience, remains underexplored.

Downy mildew, caused by the oomycete , is the most destructive foliar disease of cucumbers. While partially resistant slicer cultivars (with spined fruits) are commercially available, no resistant Beit Alpha cultivars (characterized by smooth, dark green fruit) have been developed to date. Here, we report the successful breeding of downy mildew-resistant Beit Alpha cucumber lines.

Vitis vinifera grapevines are susceptible to downy and powdery mildews, requiring 4-10 chemical treatments per season in Israel. Resistant grape varieties offer an alternative. Hybrid varieties developed by the Weinbauinstitut Freiburg were introduced in Israel for disease resistance evaluation in different climatic regions through an understanding of the resistance mechanism based on secondary metabolite profiles.
