Black shank, caused by the oomycetes Phytophthora nicotianae, is destructive to tobacco, and this pathogen is highly pathogenic to many solanaceous crops. P. nicotianae is well adapted to high temperatures; therefore, research on this pathogen is gaining importance in agriculture worldwide because of global warming. P. nicotianae-resistant varieties of tobacco plants are commonly screened by inoculation with oat grains colonized by P. nicotianae and monitoring for the disease symptoms. However, it is difficult to quantify the inoculation intensity since accurate inoculation is crucial in this case. This study aimed to develop an efficient and reliable method for evaluating the resistance of tobacco to infection with P. nicotianae. This method has been successfully used to identify resistant varieties, and the inoculation efficiency was confirmed by real-time PCR. The resistance evaluation method presented in this study is efficient and practical for precision breeding, as well as molecular mechanism research.

Article Synopsis
- - NPH3/RPT2-Like (NRL) proteins are important blue light receptors that influence how plants respond to light, but their role in plant immunity, particularly against late blight from *Phytophthora infestans*, is not well understood.
- - In this study, researchers identified 35 StNRL genes in potatoes, classifying them into six subfamilies, with many showing evidence of segmental duplication, which is key for their evolutionary expansion.
- - Specific StNRL genes, like StNRL-6 and StNRL-7, were found to interact with the photoreceptor Stphot1 and negatively affect the resistance of both potatoes and *Nicotiana benthamiana*

-induced crop diseases, commonly known as "plant plagues", pose a significant threat to global food security. In this study, strain ASG80 was isolated from sisal roots and demonstrated a broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against several species and fungal pathogens. Strain ASG80 was identified as via phylogenetic analysis, digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), and average nucleotide identity (ANI).

Article Synopsis
- Luciferase is a bioluminescent enzyme commonly used as a reporter to study gene expression in bioassays due to its high accuracy and wide dynamic range.
- The study focuses on how plants respond to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), showing that treatment with bacterial PAMP flg22 and Phytophthora elicitin INF1 rapidly activates defense-related genes.
- Researchers created transgenic plants with luciferase as a reporter to measure gene expression changes from PAMP treatment, finding increased luciferase activity, which indicates the effectiveness of this method in studying plant immune responses.

Article Synopsis
- Phytophthora species secrete effectors to manipulate plant immunity, but the specific mechanisms of their induced necrotic cell death remain unclear.
- The study focuses on an RXLR effector named Pc12 from Phytophthora capsici, which promotes virulence by triggering an unusual ER stress response through interaction with Rab13-2.
- Unlike typical immune responses, Pc12 alters the behavior of Rab13-2, affecting protein localization in the endoplasmic reticulum and inhibiting normal vesicle trafficking, thereby allowing the pathogen to successfully infect the host.
