Seedling and adult plant resistance to leaf rust in some Bulgarian common wheat lines by V. Ivanova

“…The response of 250 common winter wheat breeding lines was investigated for resistance to the causative agent of Puccinia triticina under conditions of an infected field on the territory of Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute – General Toshevo, Bulgaria, during three successive seasons. Twenty lines with different degrees of resistance under field conditions were selected. …”

Navigating Host Immunity and Concurrent Ozone Stress: Strain‐Resolved Metagenomics Reveals Maintenance of Intraspecific Diversity and Genetic Variation in Xanthomonas on Pepper by Amanpreet Kaur, Ivory Russell, Ranlin Liu, Auston Holland, Rishi Bhandari, Neha Potnis

“…To address this knowledge gap, we studied short‐term within‐host eco‐evolutionary changes in the pathogen, Xanthomonas perforans, on resistant and susceptible pepper in the open‐top chambers (OTCs) under elevated Ozone (O3) conditions in a single growing season. We observed increased disease severity with greater variance on the resistant cultivar under elevated O3, yet no apparent change on the susceptible cultivar. …”

Assessing Microbial Diversity in Páramo Soils (Multistrategy Analysis): Effects of Potato Farming and Livestock Grazing in Nevados National Natural Park, Colombia by Lizeth Manuela Avellaneda-Torres, Tomás León Sicard, Edlin Guerra Castro, Esperanza Torres-Rojas

“…Changes associated with potato farming and livestock grazing on microorganisms of Páramo soil of the Nevados National Natural Park (Nevados NNP) were assessed by (1) determination of physical and chemical properties (physicochemical matrix) and enzymatic activities associated (enzymatic activity matrix) with different biogeochemical cycles (C, N, and P); (2) microbial community functional diversity via evaluation of functional groups associated with carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles using cultivation-dependent techniques (arable functional group matrix and most probable number matrix); and (3) microbial diversity using cultivation-independent techniques that employ the hypervariable V5–V6 region of the 16S rRNA gene and pyrosequencing (16S-454 genus matrix and 16S-454 OTU matrix). …”
