Identification of self- and pathogen-targeted miRNAs from resistant and susceptible Theobroma cacao variety to black pod disease.

Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is a highly valuable crop with growing demand in the global market. However, cacao farmers often face challenges posed by black pod disease caused by Phytophthora spp., with P.

Potential Cell-Based and Cell-Free Therapy for Patients with COVID-19.

Since it was first reported, the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains an unresolved puzzle for biomedical researchers in different fields. Various treatments, drugs, and interventions were explored as treatments for COVID. Nevertheless, there are no standard and effective therapeutic measures.

Data on banana transcriptome in response to blood disease infection.

Blood disease of Banana (BDB) is one of the prevalent disease caused by subsp. (Rsc) which cause substantial loss on banana production in Indonesia. To date, the genetic basis of plant defense mechanism caused by blood disease in banana is not available.

Unravelling the genetic basis of Fusarium seedling rot resistance in the MAGIC maize population: novel targets for breeding.

Fungal infection by Fusarium verticillioides is cause of prevalent maize disease leading to substantial reductions in yield and grain quality worldwide. Maize resistance to the fungus may occur at different developmental stages, from seedling to maturity. The breeding of resistant maize genotypes may take advantage of the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for disease resistance already commenced at seedling level.
