Summary: The study revealed that resistance against gray leaf spot (GLS) in lupin is controlled by a single major gene, with markers identified through MFLP linked to GLS. Through QTL analysis and fine mapping, the gene was narrowed down to a 241kb region containing two disease resistance genes. Further analysis identified a SNP in the TMV resistance protein N-like gene region as potentially associated with GLS resistance.

Summary: Through a greenhouse trial, we found that non-native pioneer plant Lupinus angustifolius can improve the conditions of mine tailings by increasing nitrogen and promoting phosphorus transformation, thereby facilitating the growth of subsequent native plants. Significant increases in soil organic phosphorus and organo-bound aluminum minerals suggest the initiation of pedogenesis in mine tailings.

Summary: Olive leaf spot (OLS) caused by Venturia oleaginea is a prevalent disease in olive-growing areas worldwide, leading to significant yield losses. Early detection of leaf symptoms is difficult, and the pathogen-induced leaf drop creates the illusion of healthy and restored plants. This review provides updated information on taxonomy, pathogen life cycle, epidemiology, diagnosis, and control strategies for OLS. Copper-based fungicides, the main method of control, are facing potential substitution due to regulations, making it urgent to find alternative strategies, especially for organic agriculture.

Summary: We assessed the presence of various elements in white lupin samples cultivated in Southern Italy using a validated ICP-MS method. Zinc was found to be the most abundant element, while levels of non-essential element cadmium exceeded EU regulation limits.

Summary: This study examined the polyphenol contents in white lupin samples cultivated in Southern Italy using a LC-HRMS method. The results showed that ellagic acid and apigenin were the most abundant polyphenols. The study also found that the cultivation area had a significant influence on the polyphenol contents. This work provides the first data on the polyphenol contents of white lupins cultivated in Italy.

Summary: Leaf spot of Hosta ventricosa is a new disease in China that seriously affects the ornamental value and greening function of H. ventricosa. Identification of the causal agent can prevent and control this disease, promoting the healthy development of the industry. Two Fusarium oxysporum isolates were identified based on morphological features and multigene phylogenetic analyses, providing a theoretical basis for disease control.

Summary: Garden roses are economically important worldwide, but are affected by black spot and cercospora leaf spot. In this study, two tetraploid garden rose F-1 populations were used to study the genetic basis of disease resistance and plant defoliation. QTLs for black spot resistance were found in linkage groups 1-6, while QTLs for cercospora resistance and susceptibility were mapped to groups 1, 4, and 5. This is the first report of QTLs for cercospora resistance and defoliation in tetraploid roses.

Summary: In 2019, leaf spot and dieback were observed on box elder in a nursery in Tai'an city, Shandong Province, China, with a disease incidence of 86%, and 75% of isolates from shoots and 66.6% from leaves were identified as Exserohilum rostratum. Experimental results suggest that the pathogen may worsen under conditions of strong winds, sudden temperature drops, or insect infestations.

Summary: Bacterial Leaf Spot (BLS) is a serious disease of chilli caused by different Xanthomonas biotypes. The pathogens are widely distributed and can survive in seeds and crop residues. Various techniques can be used for detection, including traditional and molecular approaches. Managing BLS is challenging due to genetic diversity, lack of host resistance, and poor efficacy of chemical control. This paper reviews the current status of BLS, including distribution, pathogen profiles, diagnosis, management, and pursuit of plant resistance.

Summary: This study compared the transcriptome expression differences at different time points after inoculation in two maize inbred lines with resistance and susceptibility to Gray leaf spot (GLS), identifying key genes related to GLS response. The results indicated that plant hormone signaling, calcium signaling pathways, and transcription factors played a central role in GLS sensing and response.

Summary: Rosabanksiae, an endemic vine-like shrub rose in China, has been frequently affected by leaf spot disease in a park in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. The disease initially presents as small yellow spots, which progress into dark brown lesions. The causal fungus of this disease was identified as Calonectria fujianensis through morphological and multigene phylogenetic analysis. This is the first report of leaf spot caused by Ca. fujianensis on R. banksiae, providing a theoretical basis for disease prevention and control.
