Plant Disease
Daniel Winter Heck et al. identified the need for better-integrated disease management approaches that consider the potential of rapid evolution of #Stemphylium vesicarium fungicide resistance in onion fields: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-08-24-1701-RE #plantdisease
Marcus Vinicius Marin et al. present the first record worldwide of #Pseudocercospora oenotherae on ornamental lantana (Lantana strigocamara R.W. Sanders, syn. L. camara L.). Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-11-24-2435-SC #plantdisease
Yang Liu et al. identified the main fungal pathogen causing #Makou disease of Angelica sinensis in this medicinal plant’s main production area in Minxian County, China: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-12-24-2644-RE
Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) poses a major threat to cucurbit crops. Ning Qiao et al. developed a UDG-LAMP-LFD assay, creating a dependable diagnostic tool for surveillance of ToLCNDV and early detection of the virus on cucurbit seedlings: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-07-25-1386-RE
Gray mold, caused by the fungus #Botrytis cinerea, significantly reduces tomato yield and quality. Jane Marian Luis et al. evaluated the antifungal effect of cinnamon essential oil nanoemulsion against B. cinerea: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-02-25-0261-RE #plantdisease
“Rapid Population Flux in Bacterial Spot Xanthomonads During a Transition in Dominance Between Two Genotypes in Consecutive Tomato Production Seasons and Identification of a New Species, Xanthomonas oklahomensis sp. nov.,” by Brett Johnson et al.: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-04-25-0734-SR
“Resistance Risk Assessment of the Novel SDHI Fungicide Fenopyramid in Rhizoctonia solani: Moderate Resistance Risk and Synergistic Strategies with DMIs,” by Meng Cai et al. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-06-25-1253-RE #Rhizoctonia
First identified in Los Angeles in 2012, citrus #huanglongbing has since spread through residential areas across Southern California. Weiqi Luo et al. developed a geospatial risk-based survey model for ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ detection: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-01-25-0075-RE
Strawberry Fusarium wilt is threatening the Chinese strawberry industry. Guo-Fang Zhang et al. present the first report of #Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae as a causal agent of strawberry Fusarium wilt in Zhejiang, China: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-05-25-1007-SR #plantdisease
To evaluate hemp germplasm for susceptibility to #Septoria leaf spot, Jocelyn A. Schwartz et al. evaluated hemp entries from the USDA-ARS Plant Genetic Resources Unit, commercially available cultivars, and Cornell breeding lines in replicated field trials: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-07-25-1367-RE
