Summary: This study investigated the genetic basis of Goss's wilt, a bacterial disease of maize, using various genetic and molecular techniques. They identified 11 disease-associated loci and found that the resistance to Goss's wilt is highly complex with no commonly present major resistance genes. They also identified candidate genes related to Goss's wilt resistance and revealed the gene expression changes and pathways involved in the disease response.

Summary: This study sequenced the transcriptome of common buckwheat and Ukrainian daliqiao using high-throughput sequencing technology, obtaining a large amount of gene information and differentially expressed genes. SSR and EST-SSR loci were also detected. The clustering results verified the genetic relationship between common buckwheat and Ukrainian daliqiao. These findings are important for enriching the genetic information and marker-assisted selection breeding of buckwheat.

Summary: This study identified two QTLs related to Verticillium wilt resistance in cotton through BSA-seq analysis, and screened a series of candidate genes in the qvw-D05-2 region by SnpEff analysis. Further investigation showed that GhDRP is involved in resistance to V. dahliae infection, as silencing this gene resulted in higher susceptibility of plants.

Summary: The genetic diversity and population structure of Monochasma savatieri individuals from four provinces in China were examined using EST-SSR markers, revealing low genetic diversity among populations and little gene flow within populations. Individuals from Zhejiang province showed the highest genetic diversity among the four populations. The study provided insights for designing effective conservation strategies for M. savatieri.

Summary: This study constructed a genetic map using noble scallops with different carotenoids content and identified 5 QTLs for carotenoids content. These QTLs were distributed in different linkage groups, with genes in the Z12 region potentially playing an important role in determining carotenoid levels.

Summary: This study systematically analysed the infection of R. solanacearum in S. dulcamara, showing that bittersweet plants exhibit partial resistance to bacterial wilt compared with susceptible hosts like tomatoes, especially at lower temperatures. The findings suggest that inherent resistance and perennial growth habits enable bittersweet plants to act as reservoirs for the pathogen.

Summary: This study found that Pseudomonas species can suppress bacterial wilt disease by enhancing the systemic resistance of tobacco plants and influencing the structure of root-associated bacterial communities, while also promoting the activity of defense-related enzymes and the expression of defense signaling marker genes.
