Abstract:
Despite decades of clubroot research, only three resistance (R) genes have been validated. However, many of the 'new' R genes are, in fact, identical to or allelic with these three. In this forum article we advocate for more concerted efforts to reduce redundancies in reporting 'novel' R genes and to focus on establishing a common nomenclature system.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
