In 2006, the release and cultivation of the genetically modified papaya cultivar 'Huanong No.1' successfully controlled the destructive papaya ringspot disease caused by Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) in South China. However, some transgenic papaya plants from Guangdong and Hainan are found infected by PRSV. In this study, Field investigation was carried out and susceptible transgenic papaya samples were collected during 2012-2016. Twenty representative isolates were artificially inoculated into Cucurbita pepo and commercialised 'Huanong No.1' papaya, and results indicated that the plants showed obvious disease symptoms. Phylogenetic analysis of CP genes of 120 PRSV-infected isolates showed that PRSV can be divided into three groups. Isolates from Guangdong and Hainan belong to Group III, which is further divided into two subgroups. The isolates collected in this study have greatly diverged from the previously reported dominant strains Ys, Vb and Sm in South China, indicating that they belong to a new lineage. Further analysis showed a highly genetic differentiation between isolates, and 27.1% of the isolates were identified as recombinants on the basis of CP nucleotide sequences. These results indicate that the genetic variation of PRSV and the formation of the new virus lineage may explain the loss of transgenic papaya resistance in South China.

Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) is a catastrophic disease that causes huge yield losses in papaya cultivation around the world. Yield losses in severely infected plants can be upto 100%. Because of this disease, papaya cultivation has been shifted to other crops in some areas of the world.

Colletotrichum brevisporum is an important fungal pathogen that causes anthracnose and has led to serious postharvest losses of papaya (Carica papaya L.) fruit in recent years. WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play vital roles in regulating plant resistance to pathogens, but their functions in papaya anthracnose resistance need further exploration.

Article Synopsis
- Genetically modified (GM) papaya has helped combat the harmful papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), but the emergence of the distinct papaya leaf distortion mosaic virus (PLDMV) poses a new challenge to the industry.
- A survey of feral papaya plants on Hainan Island found that nearly half were GM, with 18.7% infected with PRSV and 39.8% with PLDMV, indicating significant virus presence regardless of genetic modification status.
- Genetic analysis revealed a link between virus populations and their geographic origins, showing that PLDMV is evolving rapidly and may become a major threat to papaya production in the region.

Article Synopsis
- Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) significantly affects global papaya production, and previous efforts created transgenic Tainung No.2 lines with resistance to PRSV, but all were female, making them impractical for farmers.
- Using new genomic information and flanking sequences, researchers backcrossed a female transgenic line with the Sunrise cultivar to create hermaphrodite hybrids suitable for cultivation.
- The resulting transgenic TN-2 hybrids showed broad-spectrum resistance to PRSV in greenhouse tests and complete field resistance, offering a sustainable solution for papaya farming in Taiwan and beyond.
The head-to-head oriented pair of melon resistance genes, and , control resistance to races 0 and 2 and papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), respectively. They encode, via several RNA splice variants, TIR-NBS-LRR proteins, and Prv has a C-terminal extra domain with a second NBS homologous sequence. In other systems, paired R-proteins were shown to operate by "labor division," with one protein having an extra integrated domain that directly binds the pathogen's Avr factor, and the second protein executing the defense response.
