This review systematically evaluates the effectiveness of integrating MALDI-TOF-MS with ML for the identification of ARB. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify original research articles focused on the application of MALDI-TOF-MS and ML in detecting ARB.

Following the application of inclusion criteria and relevance assessment of titles and abstracts, 34 studies were selected for final analysis. The findings demonstrate that integrating MALDI-TOF-MS with ML models markedly improves the speed, accuracy, and reliability of ARB detection while offering valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of resistance.

The present study aimed to standardize and compare artificial inoculation techniques for consistent induction of Phytophthora blight under controlled conditions. Ten inoculation methods targeting different infection pathways were evaluated in greenhouse pot experiments over two consecutive seasons (2023–24 and 2024–25) using susceptible (UPAS-120, ICP-7119, ICP-2376) and moderately resistant (KPBR-80-2-1, IPAC-79, IPAB-7-2-1-7) pigeonpea cultivars. Disease incidence was recorded to assess the efficiency and reproducibility of each technique. All methods successfully established infection; however, disease severity varied significantly among techniques and genotypes. The leaf-lamina inoculation method consistently produced the highest and most uniform disease incidence, recording 97.7% and 96.6% in the susceptible cultivar UPAS-120 and 83.3% and 86.6% in the moderately resistant cultivar KPBR-80-2-1 across the two seasons. Node inoculation emerged as the second most reliable method. The study identifies most efficient and quick, reproducible inoculation techniques that enable rapid and high-throughput resistance screening, providing a robust methodological framework to support pigeonpea breeding and Phytophthora blight management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiological methods","volume":"243 ","pages":"Article 107419"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146142710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
