High-throughput DNA sequencing techniques enable time-and cost-effective sequencing of
large portions of the genome. Instead of sequencing and annotating whole genomes, many …

The development of durable and broad‐spectrum resistance is an economical and eco‐
friendly approach to control crop diseases for sustainable agricultural production. Emerging …

Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans greatly constrains potato production. Many
Resistance (R) genes were cloned from wild Solanum species and/or introduced into potato …

Access to greater genomic resolution through new sequencing technologies is transforming
the field of plant pathology. As scientists embrace these new methods, some overarching …

As a destructive plant pathogen, Phytophthora infestans secretes diverse host‐entering
RxLR effectors to facilitate infection. One critical RxLR effector, PiAvr3b, not only induces …

Physiological races of the oomycete Albugo candida are biotrophic pathogens of diverse
plant species, primarily the Brassicaceae, and cause infections that suppress host immunity …

The identification of immune receptors in crop plants is time‐consuming but important for
disease control. Previously, resistance gene enrichment sequencing (RenSeq) was …

Phytopathogenic oomycetes are known to successfully infect their hosts due to their ability to
secrete effector proteins. Of interest to many researchers are effectors with the N-terminal …

Stacking (pyramiding) several resistance genes of diverse race specificity in one and the
same plant by hybridization provides for high and durable resistance to major diseases …

Downy mildews affect important crops and cause severe losses in production worldwide.
Accurate identification and monitoring of these plant pathogens, especially at early stages of …
