To enhance the breeding of new scab-resistant apple cultivars, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms governing major scab resistance genes is essential. Rvi12_Cd5 was previously identified as the best candidate gene for the Rvi12 scab resistance of the crab apple "Hansen's baccata #2" by gene prediction and in silico analysis. In the present study, Rvi12_Cd5 was used to transform the scab-susceptible apple cultivar "Gala Galaxy.

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is one of the most nutrient-dense fruits, which is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The processing of value-added products from guava has not been carried out on a scale similar to some other fruits, which offers an opportunity to fully exploit the potential of this fruit, such as guava-based nutraceutical food products.
