Phenotypic evaluation showed that DY2 displayed markedly stronger resistance than FW. Transcriptome analysis revealed that FW had substantially more differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at 96 h post-infection (hpi), indicating greater infection pressure. Across six comparisons of each treatment time point (24, 48, and 96 hpi) with 0 hpi, DEGs were enriched in similar defense-related pathways, with 3,181 core DEGs identified.

Science communication is most powerful when it is understood and felt as relevant in everyday life. However, for many audiences, particularly in agricultural biotechnology, scientific information often remains highly technical, complicated, and difficult to relate to.In response to these challenges, ISAAA Inc. partnered with students from the College of Development Communication (CDC) at the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) to launch a podcast-based engagement initiative
