Abstract
Apple scab disease, caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis, endangers commercial apple production globally. It is predominantly managed by frequent fungicide sprays that can harm the environment and promote the development of fungicide-resistant strains. Cultivation of scab-resistant cultivars harboring diverse qualitative Rvi resistance loci and quantitative trait loci associated with scab resistance could reduce the chemical footprint. A comprehensive understanding of the host-pathogen interaction is, however, needed to efficiently breed cultivars with enhanced resistance against a variety of pathogenic strains. Breeding efforts should not only encompass pyramiding of Rvi loci and their corresponding resistance alleles that directly or indirectly recognize pathogen effectors, but should also integrate genes that contribute to effective downstream defense mechanisms. This review provides an overview of the phenotypic and genetic aspects of apple scab resistance, and currently known corresponding defense mechanisms. Implementation of recent "-omics" approaches has provided insights into the complex network of physiological, molecular, and signaling processes that occur before and upon scab infection, thereby revealing the importance of both constitutive and induced defense mechanisms. Based on the current knowledge, we outline advances toward more efficient introgression of enhanced scab resistance into novel apple cultivars by conventional breeding or genetic modification techniques. However, additional studies integrating different "-omics" approaches combined with functional studies will be necessary to unravel effective defense mechanisms as well as key regulatory genes underpinning scab resistance in apple. This crucial information will set the stage for successful knowledge-based breeding for enhanced scab resistance.

Abstract
Virus-specific proteins, including coat proteins, movement proteins, replication proteins, and suppressors of RNA interference are capable of triggering the hypersensitive response (HR), which is a type of cell death in plants. The main cell death signaling pathway involves direct interaction of HR-inducing proteins with nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeats (NLR) proteins encoded by plant resistance genes. Singleton NLR proteins act as both sensor and helper. In other cases, NLR proteins form an activation network leading to their oligomerization and formation of membrane-associated resistosomes, similar to metazoan inflammasomes and apoptosomes. In resistosomes, coiled-coil domains of NLR proteins form Ca2+ channels, while toll-like/interleukin-1 receptor-type (TIR) domains form oligomers that display NAD+ glycohydrolase (NADase) activity. This review is intended to highlight the current knowledge on plant innate antiviral defense signaling pathways in an attempt to define common features of antiviral resistance across the kingdoms of life.

Abstract
Detection and monitoring of viruses are essential for healthy plants and prosperity. Recent development in CRISPR/Cas system in diagnosis has open an avenue well suited for pathogen detection. Variety of CRISPR associated proteins are being discovered, suggesting array of application and detection strategies in diagnosis. Phytopathogenic viruses are diverse with respect to their nucleic acid compositions, which presents a challenge in developing a single device applicable for almost all viruses. The review describes about the efficient use of CRISPR/Cas Technology in diagnosis, such as SHERLOCK, DETECTR and SATORI. These methods are different in their characteristic to identify specific nucleic acids and processing the detectable signals. These technologies are in their infancy and lot of scope is there to develop commercial kits. Plant tissue culture-based industries, climate control green houses, indoor cultivation facilities etc. has been considered as few examples. This review will be beneficial for researchers seeking to develop detection mechanism based on CRISPR/Cas technology. The outcome in the form of cost-effective detection of viruses will be boon for agro-based industries, which are facing challenges through virus contamination.
