Powdery mildew (caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici) limits grain production and reduces grain quality in wheat. Amblyopyrum muticum (2n=2x=14, TT genomes), a wild relative of wheat, carries agronomically valuable traits, including resistance to powdery mildew, that have not been transferred to wheat. Here, a powdery mildew resistant Chinese Spring-Am. muticum amphiploid was backcrossed to a powdery mildew susceptible wheat cultivar and homozygous resistant derivatives with broad-spectrum resistance were selected. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis identified chromosome substitution and compensating Robertsonian translocation lines involving chromosome 6T from Am. muticum.

Wheat is cultivated across diverse global environments, and its productivity is significantly impacted by various biotic stresses, most importantly but not limited to rust diseases, Fusarium head blight, wheat blast, and powdery mildew. The genetic diversity of modern cultivars has been eroded by domestication and selection, increasing their vulnerability to biotic stress due to uniformity. The rapid spread of new highly virulent and aggressive pathogen strains has exacerbated this situation.

Powdery mildew is a common serious disease threatening global melon production. Red light can improve plant resistance to powdery mildew by inducing endogenous ethylene synthesis; however, the underlying molecular mechanism requires elucidation. In this study, an ERF transcription factor CmRAP2-13 was identified, silencing it significantly improved melon seedlings resistance to powdery mildew.

Agrochemicals play a pivotal role in the management of pests and diseases and the way agrochemicals are utilized exerts significant impacts on the environment. Ensuring rational application and improving utilization rates of agrochemicals are major demands in developing green delivery systems. Herein, a model of nucleic acid-peptide coacervate (NPC) for agrochemical delivery is presented, which is formed by mixing negatively charged single-stranded DNAs with positively charged poly-L-lysine.

Grapes, as one of the world's oldest economic crops, are severely affected by grape powdery mildew, causing significant economic losses. As a phytoalexin against powdery mildew, stilbenes and their key synthetic gene, stilbene synthase (STS), are highly sought after by researchers. In our previous research, a new gene, VqNSTS2, was identified from Vitis quinquangularis accession 'Danfeng-2' through transcriptomic analysis.
