Quantification of Verticillium dahliae microsclerotia is an important component wilt management on a range crops. Estimation by dry or wet sieving and plating soil samples semiselective medium commonly used technique but this method resource-intensive. We developed new molecular quantification based Synergy Brands (SYBR) Green real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction wet-sieving (wet-sieving qPCR). This can detect V. as low 0.5 CFU g −1 soil. There was high correlation (r = 0.98)...
Botryosphaeria dothidea is the source of deadly kiwifruit disease known as soft rot. In order to explore role melatonin in regulating postharvest quality and resistance at different growth development stages, this study, we applied concentrations young fruit, expansion, late expansion stages assess its effect on fruit B. dothidea, minimize rot, maintain quality. The results showed that significantly suppressed mycelial with 1.0 mmol/L inhibiting it by up 50%. However, 0.1-0.3 had best...
Since 2016, the leaf spot disease in Guizhou Province have become increasingly serious. This study aimed to identify and characterize pathogenic fungi causing Qingzhen, Zunyi, Sandu Libo, four main potato production areas Province, China. Fourteen isolates of were obtained from samples collected above between 2020 2021, identified through morphological, phylogenetic pathogenicity analyses. These 14 belonged species Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum chlorophyti, Nigrospora oryzae...
A combination of mineral nutrients and plant growth regulators should be assessed to improve crop performance under various abiotic stresses. There is a need include in fertilization regime crops along with essential nutrients, especially when they are irrigated polluted water higher levels heavy metals. The pea was evaluated cadmium (Cd) stress coupled potassium (K) jasmonic acid (JA) supplementation. Cd (50 μM) applied soil (sandy loam) grown plants as basal dose after month sowing....
Abstract The genetic basis underlying loss‐of‐virulence mutations that arise among natural phytopathogen populations is not well documented. In this study, we examined the virulence of 377 isolates Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) were isolated from 76 kiwifruit orchards suffering bacterial canker disease. Eighty‐four nonpathogenic identified in 40 orchards. A isolate G166 was found to be defective hrpL transcription and downstream type III secretion system...
Cystic changes are common in both neoplastic and non-neoplastic kidney diseases. The most important diagnostic consideration is to rule out cystic neoplasms hereditary polycystic disease for patient management. Localized of the a rare, nongenetic nonprogressive that may mimic or disease. However, reports literature on its pathologic characteristics scarce, surgical pathologists unfamiliar with this entity. We report clinicopathologic 9 such cases mimicked renal were treated surgically. Nine...
Bacterial canker disease has become the largest threat to kiwifruit cultivation and production. A monomorphic subpopulation of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) is responsible for pandemic worldwide. Diversity in pathogenicity been found other Psa3 subpopulations causing epidemics China. However, genetic bases have not yet elucidated. In this study, 117 isolates were identified by Psa- Psa3-specific primers, evaluated pathogenicity. Three G4, G40, S2 are pathogenic do...
Verticillium dahliae is a soil-borne pathogenic fungus that causes wilt in host plants, particularly serious problem potato cultivation. Several pathogenicity-related proteins play important roles the infection process, hence, identifying such proteins, especially those with unknown functions, will surely aid understanding mechanism responsible for pathogenesis of fungus. Here, tandem mass tag (TMT) was used to quantitatively analyze differentially expressed V. during susceptible cultivar...
The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a key factor in the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3), causal agent global kiwifruit bacterial canker pandemic. To monitor T3SS expression levels Psa3, we constructed luciferase reporter plasmid-expressing HrpAPsa3-NLuc fusion protein. HrpA-NLuc was induced hrp-inducing conditions whereas level activity correlated with hrp/hrc genes Psa3 confirmed reliability construct. Based on readout NLuc construct, three small...
Studies were conducted to identify candidate soil microbes responsible for observed differences in strawberry vigour at a small spatial scale, which was not associated with visual disease symptoms. Samples obtained from the soils close rhizosphere of 'big' and 'small' plants plots exhibited large local heterogeneity plant vigour. A metabarcoding approach used profile bacterial fungal compositions, using two primer pairs 16S ribosomal RNA genes (16S rDNA) one internal transcribed spacer (ITS)...

Bacterial canker of kiwifruit is a devastating disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa). The type III secretion system (T3SS), which translocates effectors into plant cells to subvert immunity and promote extracellular bacterial growth, required for Psa virulence. Despite that the "HrpR/S-HrpL" cascade sophisticatedly regulates expression T3SS has been well documented, transcriptional regulators hrpR/S remain be determined. In this study, OmpR-like transcription factor,...
Abstract Soft rot disease caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea is one of the most important fungal diseases affecting kiwifruit production. The symptoms generally appear during fruit storage period, resulting in difficult management and serious economic losses. Therefore, characterization infection mechanism needs to be explored deepen our understanding pathogen disease. In this study, a highly pathogenic strain JY‐1, causing soft rot, was isolated identified as B . A polyethylene...
Picea neoveitchii Mast. is a rare and threatened species of evergreen coniferous tree in China, commonly facing issues such as damaged seeds, abnormal seed growth, empty shells. These abnormalities vary by location; unfortunately, the reasons behind these inconsistencies are completely unknown. This study compared seeds from two 150-year-old trees located Taibai (Shaanxi province, TB150) Zhouqu (Gansu ZQ150). The results showed significant differences 43 metabolites hormone levels, with...
