Peach rosette mosaic disease was first described in the 1940s affecting peach and plum. It was later determined that peach rosette mosaic virus (PRMV) is the causal agent of the disease. PRMV, a member of the genus Nepovirus, infects several perennial crops including stone fruit, grape and blueberry as well as several weed species found in orchards around the world. The molecular characterization of the virus is limited to partial genome sequences making it difficult to develop reliable and sensitive molecular detection tests; the reason that detection is routinely performed using ELISA with antibodies risen against a single virus isolate. Given the potential economic impact of the virus and the modes of transmission which, in addition to nematodes, include seed we studied PRMV in more depth using a modified dsRNA extraction protocol to obtain the virus genome. We determined the full nucleotide sequence and developed a protocol that detects conserved regions present in RNA 1 and RNA 2, making it an excellent alternative to the detection protocols used today.

The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as 'High risk plants, plant products and other objects'. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by plants of and , as budwood/graftwood, rooted or grafted on rootstocks of either or their hybrids, imported from Türkiye, taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by Türkiye. All pests associated with the commodity were evaluated against specific criteria for their relevance for this opinion.

Branch number is an important agronomic trait in peach () trees because plant architecture affects fruit yield and quality. Although breeders can select varieties with different tree architecture, the biological mechanisms underlying architecture remain largely unclear. In this study, a pillar peach ('Zhaoshouhong') and a standard peach ('Okubo') were compared.

Background: Heat shock factors (HSFs) play important roles during normal plant growth and development and when plants respond to diverse stressors. Although most studies have focused on the involvement of HSFs in the response to abiotic stresses, especially in model plants, there is little research on their participation in plant growth and development or on the HSF (PpHSF) gene family in peach ().
Methods: DBD (PF00447), the HSF characteristic domain, was used to search the peach genome and identify .

Since 2015, several blueberry plants () of cvs. Draper and Top Shelf in an organic farm in eastern Washington State showed reduced growth with deformed leaves displaying chlorotic spots, rings, and red blotches and producing small and poorly ripened berries. The symptomatic plants showed gradual decline within 2 to 3 years post-planting.
