Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Cucumber FKBP Gene Family in Response to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses by Dekun Yang, Yahui Li, Mengdi Zhu, Rongjing Cui, Jiong Gao, Yingjie Shu, Xiaomin Lu, Huijun Zhang, Kaijing Zhang

“…The expression profile analysis of cucumber FKBP genes under 13 types of stresses showed that the <i>CsaV3_1G007080</i> gene was differentially expressed under abiotic stresses (high temperature, NaCl, silicon, and photoperiod) and biotic stresses (downy mildew, green mottle mosaic virus, <i>Fusarium</i> wilt, <i>phytophthora capsica</i>, angular leaf spot, and root-knot nematode), which indicated that the <i>CsaV3_1G007080</i> gene plays an important role in the growth and development of cucumber. …”

Multiomic approaches reveal novel lineage-specific effectors in the potato and tomato early blight pathogen Alternaria solani by Jinhui Wang, Siyu Xiao, Lijia Zheng, Yang Pan, Dongmei Zhao, Dai Zhang, Qian Li, Jiehua Zhu, Zhihui Yang

“…Transient expression of AsCEP19 and AsCEP20 in Nicotiana benthamiana plants showed that these effectors could promote Phytophthora infestans infection. AsCEP19 and AsCEP20 were required for the full virulence of A. solani on host potato, because deletion of this gene pair significantly reduced the size of necrotic lesions on potato leaves. …”

Melatonin and Its Protective Role against Biotic Stress Impacts on Plants by Mohamed Moustafa-Farag, Abdulwareth Almoneafy, Ahmed Mahmoud, Amr Elkelish, Marino B. Arnao, Linfeng Li, Shaoying Ai

“…In plant&#8722;fungi interaction models, melatonin was found to play a key role in plant resistance to <i>Botrytis cinerea</i>, to increase fungicide susceptibility, and to reduce the stress tolerance of <i>Phytophthora infestans</i>. In plant&#8722;virus interaction models, melatonin not only efficiently eradicated apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) from apple shoots in vitro (making it useful for the production of virus-free plants) but also reduced tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) viral RNA and virus concentration in infected <i>Nicotiana glutinosa</i> and <i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> seedlings. …”
