Characterization of host-effector transcription dynamics during pathogen infection in engineered late blight resistant potato
Phytophthora infestans, the etiologic agent of late blight, is a threat to potato production in areas with high humidity during the growing season. The oomycete pathogen is hemi-biotrophic, it establishes infecti...

Open AccessAegilops sharonensis genome-assisted identification of stem rust resistance gene Sr62
The wild relatives and progenitors of wheat have been widely used as sources of disease resistance (R) genes. Molecular identification and characterization of these R genes facilitates their manipulation and trac...

Open AccessDiscovery and characterization of two new stem rust resistance genes in Aegilops sharonensis
We identified two novel wheat stem rust resistance genes, Sr-1644-1Sh and Sr-1644-5Sh in Aegilops sharonensis that are effective against widely virulent African races of the wheat stem rust pathogen.

Effector-driven marker development and cloning of resistance genes against Phytophthora infestans in potato breeding clone SW93-1015
We show the usefulness of integrating effector screening in a breeding program and in resistance gene cloning, with Phytophthora resistance in the Swedish po...

Open AccessSolRgene: an online database to explore disease resistance genes in tuber-bearing Solanumspecies
The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important food crop, but highly susceptible to many pathogens. The major threat to potato production is the Irish famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, which c...
