Under-canopy irrigation was carried out for two hours in the middle of the day over overwintered apple leaves heavily infected with scab, either in a wind-protected enclosure or in a wind-exposed orchard. Ascospores were captured with rotating-arm spore traps at heights ranging from 0.3 m to 3.0 m above the ground. Ascospores dispersed above the irrigated layer and were detected at all heights above the sprinklers. Wind played a critical role in spore transport, evident from the set-up where wind interference was minimised by a wind fence, resulting in higher airborne spore numbers across all measured heights compared with the orchard exposed to unrestricted wind conditions. Furthermore, vertical temperature gradients significantly correlated with spore distributions, particularly where negative gradients at heights between 0.3 m and 0.05 m and positive gradients at heights between 1.0 m and 0.3 m led to spore retention within the irrigated zone. The findings highlight that ascospores, dispersed above the irrigated layers, could settle on susceptible tissues. It thus becomes imperative to ensure a rain-free period of at least 24 h post-irrigation and, if a rainfall shortly occurs after irrigation, the application of curative fungicides becomes essential following unexpected rain. Reliable weather forecasts are therefore crucial in determining the effectiveness of under-canopy irrigation to reduce apple scab incidence.</p>","PeriodicalId":12052,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Plant Pathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pine seedlings planted adjacent to agricultural fields face heightened risk of damage from nocturnal foraging by game animals, which retreat to forested areas during the day. This damage creates openings for fungal entry, particularly by concerning plant pathogens, such as <i>Fusarium</i> species, which are prevalent in agricultural settings. This study aimed to analyze the mycobiome of pine seedlings damaged by forest animals, focusing on the presence of concerning pathogens in infested pine seedlings collected from ten forest plantations at various distances from rural areas. Samples of pine seedlings bitten by forest animals were taken from 10 forest plantations at different distances from rural areas. Selected diversity indices were determined to compare the fungal populations. Mycological analysis of the gnawed pine shoots using culture and qPCR methods revealed 746 fungal colonies. The most frequently isolated species were: <i>Fusarium avenaceum</i>, <i>Alternaria alternata</i>, <i>Botrytis</i> sp., <i>Cladosporium cladosporioides</i>, representatives of the genus <i>Penicillium</i>, <i>Rhizopus nigricans</i> and <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i>, which were found in samples from all study plots and are thus ubiquitous. Species that are typical pathogens of agricultural crops, such as <i>Fusarium avenaceum</i>, <i>F. culmorum</i>, <i>F. poae</i>, <i>F. sporotrichioides</i> and <i>F. tricinctum</i>, were also isolated from damaged seedling tissue in forest plantations neighbouring agricultural fields. Spearman’s rank correlation analysis showed that the importance of secondary pathogens, represented by species of the genus <i>Fusarium</i>, decreased with increasing distance from agricultural fields, while the importance of primary pathogens increased. Younger pine seedlings exhibited lower species diversity and a higher prevalence of specific secondary pathogen species, coupled with heightened susceptibility to infection compared to older seedlings when subjected to tissue damage by forest animals. These findings underscore not only variations among plantations in proximity to agricultural fields but also suggest potential inter-land spread of fungi, emphasizing the need for integrated management strategies across agricultural and forestry domains.</p>","PeriodicalId":12052,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Plant Pathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to their economic importance, several species were subjected to regulations aimed to limit their global spread. Moreover, the use of molecular techniques allowed to confirm the occurrence of cryptic species within the genus. In this paper we describe <i>Xiphinema cryptocostaricense</i> sp. nov., which constitutes the first instance of cryptic speciation within the family Longidoridae from South America. In terms of morphology this species is characterised by the body measuring 2.00–2.35 mm; lip region detached from the body outline only by a shallow constriction; odontostyle 129–135 µm long; V = 34.0–36.6; anterior branch of the genital tract largely reduced; tail short, almost hemispherical; lack of males and presence of four juvenile stages. This species is also characterised using molecular markers D2-D3 expansion domains of 28S rRNA, ITS1 rRNA and partial cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 gene sequences. Based on morphology, this species is indistinguishable from <i>X. costaricense</i> Lamberti and Tarjan (<i>Nematologia Mediterranea, 2, </i>1–11 1974). Additionally, a nomenclature remark is given- the name <i>X. cryptocostaricense</i> sp. nov. has been created by adding prefix ‘crypto’ to an already existing name of species. The advanatage of this approach is that it immediately points to which species it is cryptic to.

Under greenhouse conditions, the application of B30, whether through soil inoculum or foliar application of its culture filtrate, significantly promoted growth and triggered systemic resistance against bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) infection in faba bean. As a result, the disease severity and viral accumulation levels were significantly reduced, by about 64% and 88%, respectively, for foliar application treatment. Furthermore, B30 treatments resulted in significant elevations in antioxidant enzymes such as catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as total chlorophyll content and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. A significant decrease in oxidative stress markers, namely hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and malondialdehyde (MDA), was observed. These changes were accompanied by an upregulation of the transcriptional levels of pathogenesis-related genes. Furthermore, HPLC analysis revealed that most polyphenolic compounds were induced and accumulated in plants undergoing B30 treatments.
