Background: Barley yellow mosaic disease (BYMD) caused by Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and Barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV) seriously threatens the production of winter barley. Cultivating and promoting varieties that carry disease-resistant genes is one of the most powerful ways to minimize the disease's effect on yield. However, as the BYMD virus mutates rapidly, resistance conferred by the two cloned R genes to the virus had been overcome by new virus strains. There is an urgent need for novel resistance genes in barley that convey sustainable resistance to newly emerging virus strains causing BYMD.
Results: A doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross of SRY01 (BYMD resistant wild barley) and Gairdner (BYMD susceptible barley cultivar) was used to explore for QTL of resistance to BYMD in barley. A total of six quantitative trait loci (qRYM-1H, qRYM-2Ha, qRYM-2Hb, qRYM-3H, qRYM-5H, and qRYM-7H) related to BYMD resistance were detected, which were located on chromosomes 1H, 2H, 3H, 5H, and 7H. Both qRYM-1H and qRYM-2Ha were detected in all environments. qRYM-1H was found to be overlapped with rym7, a known R gene to the disease, whereas qRYM-2Ha is a novel QTL on chromosome 2H originated from SRY01, explaining phenotypic variation from 9.8 to 17.8%. The closely linked InDel markers for qRYM-2Ha were developed which could be used for marker-assisted selection in barley breeding. qRYM-2Hb and qRYM-3H were stable QTL for specific resistance to Yancheng and Yangzhou virus strains, respectively. qRYM-5H and qRYM-7H identified in Yangzhou were originated from Gairdner.
Conclusions: Our work is focusing on a virus disease (barley yellow mosaic) of barley. It is the first report on BYMD-resistant QTL from wild barley accessions. One novel major QTL (qRYM-2Ha) for the resistance was detected. The consistently detected new genes will potentially serve as novel sources for achieving pre-breeding barley materials with resistance to BYMD.

- - Camelina is a versatile oilseed crop from the Brassicaceae family, grown in various climates and soil types, and has been commercially cultivated in Montana for over a decade.
- - During the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons, camelina plants in Montana showed symptoms of aster yellows phytoplasma infection, affecting about 4% of surveyed plants, which included growth stunting and reduced pod numbers.
- - DNA analysis of symptomatic plants confirmed the presence of phytoplasmas, with sequences showing 99.46% similarity to known aster yellows and sesame phyllody phytoplasmas, thus confirming the pathogen's identity.

Article Synopsis
- Barley is the fourth most produced cereal globally, but its harvest faces significant challenges from Barley yellow mosaic disease (BYMD), which harms winter barley yields.
- Researchers investigated a collection of 334 barley varieties and a specific double haploid population to identify new genetic locations (QTL) related to BYMD resistance.
- They discovered two major QTL on chromosomes 3H and 7H, with the latter being a novel finding, demonstrating that the combination of tolerant alleles significantly enhances resistance against BYMD.

Wheat is one of the most important food crop cultivated across the globe which ensures sustainability and food security to massive world's population, but its production is threatened by both biotic factors like rust (caused by species) and abiotic stresses such as salinity. In this study, 41 salt-tolerant wheat lines were screened for rust resistance at both seedling and adult plant stages. Rust resistance genes were characterized through gene matching technique and molecular markers analysis.

The interactions among viruses and host plants are complex and fascinating because these organisms interact with and adapt to each other continuously. Many plant transcription factors play important roles in plant growth and development and in the resistance to viral infection. To facilitate the infection of plants, some viral proteins typically target and inhibit the function of plant transcription factors.
