Summary: This research aimed to investigate the effect of temporal N availability on the severity of Fusarium crown rot (FCR) in high-protein bread and durum wheat varieties. The study found that the form and availability of nitrogen promoted FCR severity, and that FCR not only decreased yield and grain quality but also had detrimental impacts on nitrogen-use efficiency in wheat.

Summary: This study focused on the removal of thiols from real biological treated wastewaters using cellulose acetate polymer-based membranes with the addition of nanoparticles. Results showed that the AC-ZnO membrane had a high sulfur removal efficiency, especially in situations with high sulfur content, leading to an increase in mineral elements due to interaction with thiols.

Summary: A study evaluated 361 Chinese wheat landraces and identified 27 potential breeding varieties with Fusarium crown rot (FCR) resistance. Through a genome-wide association study, 21 putative loci associated with FCR resistance were identified, with one major locus consistently observed on chromosome 1B. A marker was developed and validated, showing a significant effect on FCR resistance.

Summary: Common root rot, caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a worldwide problem for cereal crops. Identification of the disease is difficult and time-consuming due to non-distinctive symptoms. In Australia, it causes significant yield losses for wheat and barley, estimated at $30 million and $13 million annually.

Summary: Plant root growth is significantly inhibited by aluminum, which mainly accumulates in the outer layer cell walls of roots. This study investigated wheat genotypes with different aluminum resistance and found that the resistant genotype showed higher root elongation rate under aluminum stress. The sensitive genotype accumulated more aluminum in both root tips and cell walls. The outer layer cells of roots contained more carboxyl groups, suggesting their involvement in the transverse distribution of aluminum on the root cross section.

Summary: Bacillus spp. bacteria isolated from wheat showed significant antagonistic activity against four wheat root rot pathogens. Bacillus velezensis (SM-39) and Bacillus cabrialesii (SM-93) exhibited the highest antagonistic activity and suppressed the severity of Fusarium root rot in wheat, improving plant resistance.

Summary: A modified sowing pattern with wider seedling strips has been found to improve the nitrogen use efficiency of winter wheat, especially in terms of enhanced nitrogen uptake from the soil. However, the effects of this sowing pattern on root size, N-15-uptake efficiency, and N uptake from different soil depths have not been clarified yet.

Summary: Silicon (Si) and Zinc (Zn) have been frequently used to alleviate cadmium (Cd) toxicity and are feasible strategies for crop safety production. This study evaluated the morphological, physiological-biochemical responses, and related gene expression of wheat seedlings to Si and Zn addition under Cd stress. The results showed that Si and Zn effectively ameliorated Cd toxicity and enhanced wheat growth, suggesting a synergistic effect between Si and Zn on Cd toxicity.

Summary: This study investigated the fungal species associated with wheat crown/root rot in northern Kyrgyzstan. Bipolaris sorokiniana and Fusarium spp. were found to be the most prevalent pathogens. Inoculation tests revealed that Fusarium pseudograminearum and F. culmorum were the most virulent pathogens. These findings have significant implications for wheat yield and quality.

Summary: This study characterized the morphological, transcriptional, and hormonal changes in wheat seedling roots following infection with the Fusarium pseudograminearum pathogen. It found that root development was inhibited and genes related to plant hormone pathways were enriched. Hormonal content involved in biosynthesis and metabolism also changed significantly. Presoaking seeds with different hormones influenced plant resistance.

Summary: Common root rot caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana infestation is a major reason for reduced wheat yield worldwide. Bacillus halotolerans strain JK-25, isolated from wheat rhizosphere soil, shows significant antagonism against B. sorokiniana and other pathogens. The surfactin produced by JK-25 inhibits B. sorokiniana growth and disrupts its cell membranes. In pot experiments, the addition of JK-25 culture fermentation supernatant significantly reduces the incidence of root rot, indicating its potential as a biological control agent.

Summary: Seed coating with T-22 can improve seedling growth and have a biocontrol effect on F. culmorum. T-22 represses the growth of F. culmorum through competition for nutrients, mycoparasitism, and antibiosis.

Summary: The study showed that a mixture of fludioxonil and difenoconazole effectively inhibits the growth of Bipolaris sorokiniana, providing efficient control against wheat common root rot. This fungicide combination has the potential to reduce the selection pressure on fungal pathogens by decreasing the use of various fungicides in the field.
