Spinach () is a popular leafy vegetable crop and commercial production is centered in California and Arizona in the US. The oomycete causes the most important disease in spinach, downy mildew. A total of nineteen races of are known, with more than 15 documented in the last three decades, and the regular emergence of new races is continually overcoming the genetic resistance to the pathogen.

- Common bean is an important global legume crop affected by a seed-borne disease called bacterial wilt (BW), which poses challenges in production areas.
- A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on 168 common bean accessions to find SNP markers linked to BW resistance, identifying 14 significant SNPs across various chromosomes for three different BW isolates.
- The study also discovered 14 candidate genes for BW resistance, providing essential insights for breeding programs aimed at developing resistant common bean cultivars.
Background: Previous reports have shown that soil salinity is a growing threat to cowpea production, and thus the need for breeding salt-tolerant cowpea cultivars. A total of 234 Multi-Parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (MAGIC) lines along with their 8 founders were evaluated for salt tolerance under greenhouse conditions. The objectives of this study were to evaluate salt tolerance in a multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) cowpea population, to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with salt tolerance, and to assess the accuracy of genomic selection (GS) in predicting salt tolerance, and to explore possible epistatic interactions affecting salt tolerance in cowpea.
