... In the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions of Japan, wrinkled soybean seeds and red crown rot (RCR) of soybean are frequent problems. The influence of RCR of soybean on the incidence of wrinkled seeds was analyzed over 2 years in a total of 10 fields in two areas of Toyama Prefecture (Hokuriku region) by monitoring the incidence of plants with RCR at maturation, then the incidence of wrinkled seed on thes ...
... Plant intracellular immune receptors known as NLR (nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat) proteins confer immunity and cause cell death. Plant NLR proteins that directly or indirectly recognize pathogen effector proteins to initiate immune signalling are regarded as sensor NLRs. Some NLR protein families function downstream of sensor NLRs to transduce immune signalling and are known as helper NLR ...

Abstract:
... Huanglongbing (HLB), formerly known as greening, is a bacterial disease restricted to some Asian and African regions until two decades ago. Nowadays, associated bacteria and their vectors have spread to almost all citrus-producing regions, and it is currently considered the most devastating citrus disease. HLB management can be approached in terms of prevention, limiting or avoiding pathogen and a ...

Abstract:
... Glasshouse experiments were conducted to study infection and disease development in rockwool‐grown rose plants inoculated with Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum. A R. pseudosolanacearum strain isolated from rose plants was more aggressive than strains from anthurium or curcuma. The three rose cultivars tested, Avalanche, Red Naomi, and Armando, differed in susceptibility. At 20°C, the rose strain cause ...

Abstract:
... On February 23, 2022, the great Czech plant pathologist, and my personal friend and esteemed colleague, prof. Václav Kůdela passed away. For over 15 years (1990–2006), he served as the Editor-in-Chief for our journal, Plant Protection Science. His whole adult life was connected with agriculture, plant pathology, plant protection and the science of phytotherapy. However, he was also man who accepte ...

Abstract:
... Maize is one of the most important crops for food and feed production worldwide. Many diseases affect maize kernels, reducing kernel quantity and quality. Fusarium species are the most important pathogens capable of producing diseases in maize, whose presence often results in mycotoxin contamination. These mycotoxins can produce severe diseases in consumers, leading to regulatory decisions on the ...

Abstract:
... Phytophthora is one of the most important genera of plant pathogens, with many members causing high economic losses worldwide. To build robust molecular identification systems, it is very important to have information from well-authenticated specimens and, in preference, the ex-type specimens. The reference genomes of well-authenticated specimens form a critical foundation for genetics, biological ...

Abstract:
... Mulberry crinkle leaf virus (MCLV) is a novel geminivirus identified from mulberry. The pathogenicity and natural vector transmission of MCLV remain unknown. Here, infectious clones consisting of the complete tandem dimeric genome of MCLV in a binary vector were constructed and agroinoculated into young mulberry plants. The results showed that the infectious clones of MCLV were systemically infect ...

Abstract:
... Multiple infections, either simultaneous or sequential, affecting a single plant or crop are now recognized to be common in plant disease epidemics. These multiple infections thus generate a range of competitive interactions (exploitation competition, apparent competition, or interference competition) that directly impact competitors’ life history traits, and hence fitness. While a theoretical fra ...

Abstract:
... During last years, skin pitting symptoms on kiwifruit, caused by Cadophora luteo-olivacea, were detected in packaging houses of different geographic areas. In this study, the kiwifruits ripeness stage was considered a possible condition influencing fungal virulence. FT-IR analysis confirmed that unripe kiwifruits are more susceptible to fungal attack. By observations at the Scanning Electron Micro ...

Abstract:
... Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are rounded vesicles enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane, released by eukaryotic cells and by bacteria. They carry various types of bioactive substances, including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Depending on their cargo, EVs have a variety of well‐studied functions in mammalian systems, including cell‐to‐cell communication, cancer progression, and pathogenesis. ...

A Chinese cabbage yellows-suppressing fungal strain (S69) isolated from a suppressive field soil to the disease was identified to be Pseudothielavia terricola, based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological observations. Phylogenetic studies were completed using individual and combined data sequences of ITS-LSU, rpb2, and tub2, and indicated that the identified fungal strain belonged to a monoph ...

Abstract:
... Dispersal gradient and the maximum distance that spores of M. fructicola can spread allow the quantification of the relative risk of disease spread from spores originating from local or distant sources. This study aims to estimate the M. fructicola conidia dispersal gradient from the edge of a peach orchard. For that, three sets of spore traps were placed at an open field from the edge of an exper ...

Abstract:
... In 2019, leaves with anthracnose symptoms were observed on pitcher plants (Sarracenia purpurea subsp. purpurea f. heterophylla) in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. The fungus isolated from the diseased leaves was identified as Colletotrichum cigarro based on morphological characteristics and molecular analyses of the ApMat and GS regions. Inoculation tests using the isolated fungus verified that C. ciga ...

Abstract:
... Choke disease, which is caused by Epichloë typhina, was first reported in orchardgrass seed production fields in the Willamette Valley, Oregon in 1997 and has continued to persist in the system. The disease can cause up to 30% losses in seed yield. Unlike many Epichloë species that are seed transmitted, it is unclear how infection of orchardgrass by E. typhina occurs in the field, or how the disea ...
