Consequently, the extension and intensification of pistachio production to nontraditional growing areas has promoted both classic and emerging diseases of this nut tree, which are limiting factors in crop production. Due to the limited interest in pistachio crops, the aetiology and epidemiology of the main pistachio diseases are poorly studied. Thus, this review summarizes the state of pistachio disease research, with particular attention given to the Mediterranean area. The information reported here is based not only on the literature, but also the advancement of our research on pistachio diseases conducted in both Italy and Spain. We describe the main fungal diseases of the tree canopy in Mediterranean countries, such as Botryosphaeria panicle and shoot blight, Septoria leaf spot, and stem, branch and trunk canker diseases, followed by the main soilborne diseases. In addition, we review minor and/or sporadic fungal diseases originating in not only the Mediterranean, but also other pistachio‐producing countries. Another section is dedicated to other diseases caused by bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses and nematodes. Finally, we summarize the main control strategies adopted in Mediterranean Basin countries against pistachio diseases.","PeriodicalId":20075,"journal":{"name":"Plant Pathology","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504684","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}

It is a highly damaging and infectious disease of citrus for which there is no reliable treatment. Timely detection and removal of diseased trees is an effective strategy to control HLB. Various citrus cultivars infected with HLB exhibit distinct symptoms, posing a challenge to generalize HLB detection methods across multiple cultivars. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in HLB‐infected leaves from cultivars grown in different regions were comprehensively analysed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and gas chromatography‐ion mobility spectrometry (GC‐IMS), aiming to establish a new generalized HLB detection method applicable to a range of citrus cultivars. The changes in VOCs were analysed in leaves of four citrus cultivars after infection with HLB. The results showed that there was a similar response to HLB infection in different citrus cultivars, and this response was reflected in both the concentration and type of VOCs. By combining GC‐MS and GC‐IMS with orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS‐DA) model, the accurate identification of the HLB infection status of different citrus cultivars was achieved, with the prediction indices reaching 0.994 for GC‐MS and 0.972 for GC‐IMS. In addition, 27 compounds were identified that were significantly different between citrus cultivars affected by HLB and healthy plants. This study provides valuable insights into the changes in VOCs in citrus cultivars after HLB infection and lays the theoretical foundation for VOC‐based HLB detection strategies.","PeriodicalId":20075,"journal":{"name":"Plant Pathology","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504686","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}

A total of 184 lines were evaluated in the field twice a year for the incidence and severity of SCLB symptoms. A set of candidate lines for sources of resistance (CLSR) was selected and evaluated in a greenhouse under artificial inoculation based on joint analysis of variance and grouping of means. Data from the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC), based on three symptom severity assessments, allowed the analysis of variance followed by the grouping of means. The lines presented high phenotypic variability for the incidence and severity of SCLB under field conditions, enabling the selection of lines with higher potential for resistance. The test of means for AUDPC in the greenhouse allowed the formation of five groups, with the highest resistance comprising 23 lines. This group gathered lines with resistance to SCLB, the potential for grain yield and expansion capacity, in addition to lines that stood out with satisfactory performance as parents in previous research.
