Crop rotation and soil tillage are among key factors impacting cropping system productivity, pest management and soil health. To assess their role in northern cropping systems, we quantified the effects of crop rotation on spring wheat yield in different tillage systems based on a long-term (2005–2017) field experiment in southwestern Finland. In a...

Increasing pest and pathogen challenges as well as having fewer conventional pesticides to employ require innovative and sustainable solutions for plant protection. One group of pesticides that is in the pipeline and is expected to be subject to regulation and risk assessment procedures in the near future, is based on the natural gene silencing mec...

Plants possess various defense strategies to counter attacks from microorganisms or herbivores. For example, plants reduce the cell-wall-macerating activity of pathogen- or insect-derived polygalacturonases (PGs) by expressing PG-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs). PGs and PGIPs belong to multi-gene families believed to have been shaped by an evolutionary...

Botrytis cinerea can attack over 500 genera of vascular plants and is considered the second phytopathogen in the 'top ten' for its economic importance. Traditional fungicides can be ineffective and with increasing fungicide resistance, new sustainable technologies are required. Lately, RNA interference-based fungicides are emerging for their potent...

AbstractThe seasonal adaptations of 8 better studied species belonging to 4 genera of the tribe Stenodemini are analyzed. A univoltine seasonal cycle with obligate diapause is characteristic of four studied species: Stenodema calcarata, S. laevigata, Leptopterna dolabrata, and L. ferrugata. Species of the genus Stenodema have winter adult diapause,...

Plants are subjected to a plethora of environmental cues that cause extreme losses to crop productivity. Due to fluctuating environmental conditions, plants encounter difficulties in attaining full genetic potential for growth and reproduction. One such environmental condition is the recurrent attack on plants by herbivores and microbial pathogens....

Standard surveillance and diagnostic protocols need to be evaluated and implemented at regional level, for early warning and coordination of rapid responses among neighbor countries. This dataset provides a description of 2020 surveillance data for cassava mosaic disease (CMD) in Laos, East Cambodia and Northern Vietnam, indicating location of the ...

The genome of Penicillium chrysogenum Q176 contains a gene coding for the 88-amino-acid (aa)-long glycine- and cysteine-rich P. chrysogenum antifungal protein C (PAFC). After maturation, the secreted antifungal miniprotein (MP) comprises 64 aa and shares 80% aa identity with the bubble protein (BP) from Penicillium brevicompactum , which has a publ...

ABSTRACT. Melon bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) is the major bacterial melon disease in Northeastern Brazil. We evaluated the effects of applying a silicon (Si) slag on BFB suppressiveness in two melons cultivars as well as in soil chemical attributes and plant growth and nutrition. Slag was incorporated into the soil at concentrations equivalent to 0...

2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) is a well-known bacterial secondary metabolite, however, its mechanism of inhibitory and subinhibitory action on bacterial cells is still poorly understood. The mechanism of 2,4-DAPG action on model bacterial strains was investigated using fluorescent spectroscopy and the action of the antibiotic was found to i...
