This study generates DMR6 knock-out mutants in grapevine to improve resistance to downy mildew without transgenic modification.

This paper describes a DNA-free CRISPR-Cas method to regenerate fully edited grapevine plants from protoplasts, achieving homozygous deletions and insertions in the VvDMR6-2 gene.

This study shows that expressing the Arabidopsis PRR EFR in apple rootstock reduces fire blight disease severity by enhancing PAMP-triggered immune responses.

The paper investigates the role of the peach RGF/GLV peptide pCTG134 in an auxin-ethylene regulatory circuit, showing its involvement in root hair formation and hormonal crosstalk.
