Previous studies have demonstrated that KRS022 possesses the ability to trigger plant immune responses, inhibit the growth of various pathogenic fungi, including Verticillium dahliae, and promote plant growth. The antagonistic properties of KRS022 primarily stem from its bioactive metabolites. In this study, the high-quality genome of KRS022 was obtained. The KRS022 genome consists of a chromosome of 6,369,026 bp with 67.09% GC content, possesses 5,830 ORFs, of which 5,186 genes were annotated, and 119 ncRNA genes. Additionally, eleven gene clusters of secondary metabolites biosynthesis were predicted, involving in PKS, arylpolyene, NAGGN, betalactone, ranthipeptide, RIPP-like, redox-cofactor, and NRPS clusters. It could be useful to explore the biocontrol potential of P. tohonis, implying promising application of KRS022 in biological control.","PeriodicalId":508090,"journal":{"name":"PhytoFrontiers™","volume":"46 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139533225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this study were to quantify the risk of phenotypic fungicide resistance and potential cross-resistance among Nothopassalora personata populations. A total of 59 samples of N. personata isolates were collected from 28 grower or research fields in SC, GA, and VA. Phenotypic resistance of isolates was evaluated against 14 fungicides and a nontreated control, with active ingredients from the quinone outside inhibitor (QoI), demethylation inhibitor (DMI), and succinate-dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) classes. Overall, lesion development ≥ 15% was observed with nearly all isolates for at least one of the active ingredients tested. Correlations between active ingredients, penthiopyrad and pydiflumetofen, as well as bixafen plus flutriafol and pydiflumetofen, and their lesion development risk indicates potential N. personata populations with SDHI cross-resistance. While these data do not confirm the presence of genetic resistance markers, results paired with observed reduced efficacy in the field reinforce the strong need for an integrated approach in managing late leaf spot. In areas with high probabilities for resistance to several modes of action, longer rotations out of peanut, varieties with greater levels of resistance, earlier planting, and continued incorporation of active ingredients with multi-site mode of action in fungicide programs are advised for preserving fungicide efficacy or reducing selection pressure.","PeriodicalId":508090,"journal":{"name":"PhytoFrontiers™","volume":"71 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that strain ZXC1 has one circular DNA chromosome of 5,129,951 bp with 56.59% G+C content. In addition to sharing a conserved zms gene cluster that encodes the genes for biosynthesis of phytotoxin zeamines, and 11 copies of predicted pectate lyases genes, the strain ZXC1 genome contains more prophage loci and higher number of type IV secretion system (T4SS) and type IV secretion system (T6SS) gene clusters than the D. fangzhongdai strains isolated from pears or phalaenopsis, which may account for its strong virulence phenotype. The data from this study present a valuable resource for elucidation of the pathogenic mechanisms of D. fangzhongdai, and may aid in developing new disease control approaches to safeguard taro production.","PeriodicalId":508090,"journal":{"name":"PhytoFrontiers™","volume":"25 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We isolated 99 isolates from Bangladesh and 20 isolates from Nepal and determined that all are phylotype I isolates of the Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum species. We sequenced and assembled draft genomes for 25 isolates. Phylogenomic analyses suggest that there is a wide diversity of endemic phylotype I isolates in South Asia, and possible introductions of two clonal phylotype I lineages into Bangladesh and Nepal. We contextualize our newly described isolates based on prior reports of RSSC diversity in South Asia and global reports of RSSC pathogens on eggplant and pepper. Greenhouse trials revealed multiple tomato, eggplant, and pepper accessions that exhibit promising levels of resistance to six phylotype I isolates from South Asia.","PeriodicalId":508090,"journal":{"name":"PhytoFrontiers™","volume":"27 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139184047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
