Phytophthora root rot (PRR) of chickpea () caused by is an important disease. Partial resistance to PRR is sourced from . In this study, we evaluated if lines with low levels of PRR foliage symptoms in two contrasting recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations parented by chickpea cultivars (Yorker and Rupali) and 04067-81-2-1-1 (, interspecific breeding line) had a significant drag on yield parameters. For the Yorker × 04067-81-2-1-1 population with the highest level of PRR resistance, in the absence of PRR, low foliage symptom RIL had significantly later flowering and podding, lower grain yields, and lighter seed and shorter plant phenotypes than high foliage symptom RIL. A quantitative trait locus analysis identified significant QTL for flowering, height, 100-seed weight, and yield, and there was a significantly higher frequency of alleles for the negative agronomic traits (i.e., drag) from the 04067-81-2-1-1 parent in low foliage symptom RIL than in high foliage symptom RIL. For the Rupali × 04067-81-2-1-1 population with lower levels of PRR resistance, in the absence of PRR, low foliage symptom RIL had significantly lighter seed and shorter plants than high foliage symptom RIL. Significant QTL were detected, the majority were for the timing of flowering and podding (n = 18), others were for plant height, yield, and 100-seed weight. For this second population, the frequency of alleles for the negative agronomic traits from the 04067-81-2-1-1 parent did not differ between low and high foliage symptom RIL. The 100 seed weight of RIL under moderate PRR disease pressure showed some promise as a yield component trait to identify phenotypes with both high levels of PRR resistance and grain yield potential for further seed number evaluations. We identified that large population sizes are required to enable selection among chickpea × crosses for high levels of PRR resistance without a significant drag on yield.

The spectral reflectance of plant leaves contains physiological and biochemical information, which can be effectively captured using hyperspectral imaging technology. This capability is valuable for applications in agriculture, reconnaissance, and beyond. Consequently, there is a growing demand for materials that can accurately simulate the spectral reflectance of leaves.

In 2022, a fluorescent bacterial isolate, designated 22-AL-CL-001, was isolated from diseased cantaloupe () foliage collected in Alabama, USA, displaying marginal necrosis and general blighting. Whole-genome sequencing and subsequent comparisons to publicly available bacterial genomes identified isolate USDA-ARS-USMARC-56711, isolated from a clinically healthy calf () in Kansas, USA, as genetically similar to isolate 22-AL-CL-001. The two isolates were then characterized using phenotypic and genetic analyses, including fluorescence on King's medium B; LOPAT reactions; pathogenicity assays on cantaloupe, watermelon and squash plants; 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis; phylogeny based on multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) of four housekeeping genes; average nucleotide identity based on blast (ANIb); DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) including comparison to the Type Genome Server and biochemical profiling using the Biolog Gen III microplate system.

Potyviridae is the largest family of plant-infecting RNA viruses. All members of the family (potyvirids) have single-stranded positive-sense RNA genomes, with polyprotein processing as the expression strategy. The 5'-proximal regions of all potyvirids, except bymoviruses, encode two types of leader proteases: the serine protease P1 and the cysteine protease HCPro.

Background: Saxitoxin (STX), one of the most toxic marine toxins known, poses severe risks to marine ecosystems and human health through contaminated seafood. Effective monitoring of STX is critical for early red tide warnings, marine conservation, and food safety. However, existing detection methods often lack sufficient sensitivity or require complex protocols, limiting their practicality for rapid on-site analysis.

Chinese sweetgum (Liquidambar formosana) is valued as a source of resin and timber and is an important ornamental tree due to its showy fall foliage. Here, we report the chromosome-level assembly of the Chinese sweetgum genome. Phylogenomic analyses showed the basal phylogenetic position of Chinese sweetgum in core eudicots.
