Twenty isolates of <i>Stemphylium</i> spp. From different locations were collected and their cultural, morphological, molecular, and pathological diversity were analyzed. Cultural variations were distinct having the maximum radial mycelial growth (43.00 mm) and the minimum (37.13 mm) at the end of colonization. Prominent diversity was also found in colony textures, elevations, shapes, and colors of the conidia. Molecular identification was done for precise recognition and delineation. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was amplified using the universal primers ITS1 and ITS4 which provided an amplicon of 600 bp. Further, all PCR products were sequenced to find the homology with the GenBank accessions of NCBI. Different isolates showed 82.92-100.00 % similarity with <i>S. vesicarium</i> and <i>S. lycopersici</i>. The phylogeny of the <i>Stemphylium</i> isolates indicated the presence of two distinct species of <i>Stemphylium</i> where 18 isolates exhibited similarity with <i>S. vesicarium</i> and 2 isolates were associated with <i>S. lycopersici</i>. Isolate GNMM-42 (OR923573) had the highest virulence. Salicylic acid (SA), benzoic acid (BA), and chitosan (CHI) exhibited <i>in vitro</i> antifungal effects against <i>S. vesicarium</i>. However, chitosan @ 40 ppm exhibited the most significant growth inhibitory effect (98.78 %). The findings indicate that <i>S. vesicarium</i> was the predominant species that caused the Stemphylium blight in onion and garlic. A considerable variation exists in cultural, morphological, molecular, and pathological characteristics among the <i>Stemphylium</i> isolates.

These organisations face a wide range of risks, including financial instability, legal liabilities and operational disruptions, among others. Effective risk management, which involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats to an organisation's objectives, is critical for ensuring their resilience and long-term sustainability. A comprehensive understanding of the current state of risk management in this context is vital for the development of strategies that address these multifaceted challenges. The objectives of this scoping review are to examine how risk management has been approached in sports organisations, categorize the different types of risks studied in the literature, and identify gaps in knowledge that could inform future research. A carefully structured five-phase methodology was applied: research questions were defined, an extensive literature search was conducted, relevant studies were identified using strict inclusion criteria, data was charted, and the results were summarized. From an initial pool of 3786 articles published between 1980 and 2023, a total of 125 studies were selected for detailed analysis. The findings reveal a broad spectrum of risks explored in the literature, with a significant emphasis on operational challenges. Studies frequently address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, risk categorisation, health and safety protocols, and the competencies needed within sports organisations to effectively manage these risks. Moreover, financial and governance risks are identified as potential gaps in the existing literature, suggesting a need for further exploration and detailed investigation. The review underscores the diversity of methodologies employed, although empirical research, particularly quantitative approaches, remains predominant. In conclusion, this review highlights the need for more multidimensional approaches to risk management that integrate various aspects such as governance, financial stability, and operational efficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":12894,"journal":{"name":"Heliyon","volume":"11 3","pages":"e42270"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11834097/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143448977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through microcosm and field experiments, this study aimed to evaluate the phenotypic plasticity and adaptive mechanisms of maize landraces under WL conditions at the seedling and flowering stages. Based on the response coefficient and waterlogging tolerance coefficient 14 landraces at the seedling stage were found to be WL tolerant whereas RCM-12-19, RCM-32-19, and RCM-16-19, emerged as WL tolerant at both stages. At seedling stage, Root Length ratio (RLR) has increased under WL stress to the tune of 98.4 % while Root Mass Ratio (RMR) has ranged from 0.09 to 0.47 for control and from 0.10 to 0.55 under WL. Root:shoot ratio varied from 0.10 to 0.88 and 0.11-1.23 under control and WL, respectively and a total of 19 genotypes reflected tolerance trait under WL. Phenotyping of key root traits (brace root angle (BA1), branching, and crown root number) revealed their substantial contribution to stress resilience, as confirmed by principal component analysis (PCA) and regression models. PCA indicates, for root tissue density (RTD) and root fineness (RF) at seedling stage, genotypes like RCM-34-19, RCM-10-19, RCM-23-19, RCM-42-19, and RCM-31-19 are closely associated with the second principal component (PC2). Whereas, at flowering stage, RCM-39-19, RCM-52-19, RCM-34-19, RCM-32-19, RCM-2-19, RCM-43-19, RCM-5-19, RCM-45-19, RCM-47-19, and RCM-50-19 exhibited strong positive loadings on (PC2) for the trait BA1. The results indicate that brace- and crown roots exhibit genotype-dependent architectural plasticity, which reduces the metabolic cost of soil exploration by increasing BA1, branching of brace roots (BB), and the number of brace roots (BO) while decreasing above-ground whorls (BW); thereby improving nutrient uptake from topsoil under WL stress. RCM-12-19, RCM-32-19, RCM-16-19, and RCM-23-19 demonstrated rapid root growth and branching after WL stress at the flowering stage, supporting their potential for breeding WL-tolerant maize.
