Samples used in this study were freshly harvested healthy fruits at the age of 15-weeks (H15.ITS), healthy fruits after 2 weeks incubation (H17.ITS), 17-week old fruits (S17.ITS) with stem end rot symptoms, and 17-week old fruits (A17.ITS) with anthracnose symptoms. Results showed that the Basidiomycota phylum was dominant in the healthy fruits, while the Ascomycota phylum was found dominantly in sick fruits. Based on OTUs alignment of sequenced data, some species found to be dominantly associated with stem end rot disease in this study were Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Neofusicoccum cordaticola and N. mangiferae. Dominant species which were associated with mango anthracnose disease were Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Botryosphaeria corticis, Volutella sp., and Pseudofusicoccum violacearum. These fungal genera were not found to be dominant in healthy fruits at the same age indicating that specific genera contributed to developing postharvest diseases on mango differently. The findings confirmed that the fungal community associated with stem end rot and anthracnose disease on mango was unique, and specific species contributed in particular disease development. Since mango is an important global commodity, these research findings will contribute significantly to global biosecurity.","PeriodicalId":510239,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Protection Research","volume":"82 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140377881","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 field study, carried out in 2016-2017, was designed as an one-factor experiment, in the randomized block design, in four replications, with Sucrosorgo 506, Rona 1, KWS Freya, KWS Juno, and KWS Sam-mos, to assess the impact of allelochemicals on weeds. Weed infestation was determined at the beginning of July. Individual weed species were collected from two random places in each plot and weighed. The aim of the laboratory study was to evaluate the total content of phenolic compounds, and sorgoleone in the early stages of plant development (5, 10, and 15 days after emergence) in varieties Rona 1, KWS Freya, KWS Juno, KWS Sammos, Farm-sorgo 180, GK Aron, PR 845F, Sucrosorgo 506 and PR849F. The total content of phenolic compounds was determined using the colorimetric method, and the sorgoleone HPLC technique on a Flexar chromatographic set. The highest value of sorgoleone was observed in 15-day-old seedlings of KWS Juno, the lowest in 5-day-old seedlings of Sucrosorgo 506, the highest levels of total phenolic compounds in 5-day-old seedlings of PR 845F, the lowest in 15-day-old seedlings of Farmsorgo 180. The results do not fully confirm the beneficial effect of allelopathic compounds on reducing weed infestation, however, it is important to emphasize the diversity of cultivars used. The statistically insignificant results indicated that most varieties of sorghum plants do not exhibit a significant decrease in yield.","PeriodicalId":510239,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Protection Research","volume":"13 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139443306","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 occurrence of the dominant I gene in many snap bean cultivars has provided a measure of control over BCMV but the BCMNV overcomes this resistance. The current study aimed to screen a collection of locally grown snap bean commercial cultivars, landraces, breeding lines, and dry bean cultivars for the expression of resistance against BCMNV under both field and greenhouse conditions. The results showed that the evaluated snap bean cultivars were susceptible to BCMNV. The reactions of the genotypes to BCMNV varied from top, vein and local necrosis, mosaics, mottling, deformed leaves to stunted growth. Positive infection was confirmed through enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. The dry bean cultivars, which were used as resistant checks can be explored as sources of resistance to BCMNV in future breeding programs. Molecular analysis showed that the SW13 and elF4E markers were reliable in confirming the presence or absence of the dominant I gene and the recessive bc-3 gene, respectively. These molecular markers are useful in marker-assisted breeding programs.","PeriodicalId":510239,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Protection Research","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139444693","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}
