Many plant viruses have been engineered into vectors for use in functional genomics
studies, expression of heterologous proteins, and, most recently, gene editing applications …

A highly aggressive strain (CMN14-5-1) of Clavibacter nebraskensis bacteria, which causes
Goss's wilt in corn, induced severe symptoms in a susceptible corn line (CO447), resulting in …

Plants often utilize nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins to perceive
pathogen infections and trigger a hypersensitive response (HR). The endosomal sorting …

Maize is one of the major crops in the world; however, diseases caused by various
pathogens seriously affect its yield and quality. The maize Rp1-D21 mutant (mt) caused by …

Background Although the genome for the allotetraploid bioenergy crop switchgrass
(Panicum virgatum) has been established, limitations in mutant resources have hampered in …

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV), is one of the most devastating cultivated tomato viruses,
seriously threatened the growth of crops worldwide. As the vector of ToCV, the whitefly …

Regulated cell death (RCD) is crucial for plant development, as well as in decision‐making
in plant‐microbe interactions. Previous studies revealed components of the molecular …

The maize gene Rp1-D21 is a mutant form of the gene Rp1-D that confers resistance to
common rust. Rp1-D21 triggers a spontaneous defense response that occurs in the absence …

Foods rich in amylose and resistant starch (RS) have great potential to improve human
health and lower the risk of noninfectious diseases. Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is …

Forward genetics discovery of the molecular basis of induced mutants has fundamentally
contributed to our understanding of basic biological processes such as metabolism, cell …
