Powdery mildew, caused by f. sp. (), is a destructive fungal disease of wheat throughout the world. Utilization of effective powdery mildew resistance genes and cultivars is considered as the most economic, efficient, and environmental-friendly method to control this disease. Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW), which was developed through hybridization of diploid and tetraploid wheat, is a valuable genetic resource for resistance to powdery mildew. SHW line YAV249 showed high levels of resistance to powdery mildew at both the seedling and adult stages. Genetic analysis indicated that the resistance was controlled by a single dominant gene, temporarily designated . Bulked segregant analysis with wheat 660K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array scanning and marker analysis showed that was located on chromosome 2AL and flanked by markers and , respectively, with genetic distances of 0.8 cM and 1.2 cM corresponding to a physic interval of 1.89 Mb on the Chinese Spring reference genome sequence v1.0. Sequence alignment analysis demonstrated that the sequence of was consistent with that of but generated an extra splicing event. When inoculated with different isolates, showed a significantly different spectrum from , hence it might be a new resistant resource for improvement of powdery mildew resistance. The flanked markers GDM93 and WGRC763, and the co-segregated markers BCD1231 and JS717/JS718 were confirmed to be easily performed in marker-assisted selection (MAS) of . Using MAS strategy, was transferred into the commercial cultivar Kenong 199 (KN199) and a wheat line YK13 was derived at generation BCF from the population of YAV249/4*KN199 due to its excellent agronomic traits and resistance to powdery mildew. In conclusion, an alternative splicing variant of was identified in this study, which informed the regulation of gene function.

Powdery mildew, caused by the fungus , is one of the primary causes of grape yield loss across the globe. While numerous resistance loci have been identified in various grapevine species, the genetic determinants of susceptibility to remain largely unexplored. Understanding the genetics of susceptibility for pathogenesis is equally important for developing durable resistance grapevines against this pathogen.

Pathogens manipulate host physiology through the secretion of virulence factors (effectors) to invade and proliferate on the host. The molecular functions of effectors inside plant hosts have been of interest in the field of molecular plant-microbe interactions. Obligate biotrophic pathogens, such as rusts and powdery mildews, cannot proliferate outside of plant hosts.

Background: Chitin is a crucial component of fungal cell walls and an effective elicitor of plant immunity; however, phytopathogenic fungi have developed virulence mechanisms to counteract the activation of this plant defensive response. In this study, the molecular mechanism of chitin-induced suppression through effectors involved in chitin deacetylases (CDAs) and their degradation (EWCAs) was investigated with the idea of developing novel dsRNA-biofungicides to control the cucurbit powdery mildew caused by Podosphaera xanthii.

Results: The molecular mechanisms associated with the silencing effect of the PxCDA and PxEWCAs genes were first studied through dsRNA cotyledon infiltration assays, which revealed a ≈80% reduction in fungal biomass and a 50% decrease in gene expression.

Indigenous microorganisms play a crucial role in determining the quality of naturally fermented wines. However, the impact of grape cultivar specificity on microbial composition is often overshadowed by the geographical location of the vineyard, leading to underestimation of its role in natural wine fermentation. Therefore, this study focuses on different grape cultivars within a single vineyard.
