Abstract:
... The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project set out to improve the diversity, quantity, and accessibility of germplasm collections of crop wild relatives (CWR). Between 2013 and 2018, partners in 25 countries, heirs to the globetrotting legacy of Nikolai Vavilov, undertook seed collecting expeditions targeting CWR of 28 crops of global significance for agriculture. Here, we describe the imp ...

Abstract:
... RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 1 (RDR1) plays a crucial defense role against plant viruses by secondary amplification of viral double-stranded RNA in the gene-silencing pathway. In this study, it was found that melon (Cucumis melo) encodes four RDR1 genes (CmRDR1a, b, c1 and c2) similar to the CsRDR1 gene family of cucumber (C. sativus). However, in contrast to cucumber, melon harbors a truncated Cm ...
