Summary: In this study, a tomato BW detection model based on optimal spectral features was proposed. The results showed that infected and healthy tomatoes exhibit different spectral characteristics, with the spectral features of stems providing better accuracy for early detection of BW. The GA-SVM model achieved the best performance and its reliability was verified in a subsequent experiment.

Summary: In this study, a bacteria strain with high biocontrol potential, Bacillus velezensis (RC116), was identified and characterized for its ability to control tomato bacterial wilt and tomato Fusarium wilt. RC116 exhibited multiple biocontrol traits, including the production of enzymes, secretion of anti-microbial substances, and ability to degrade organophosphorus compounds. Pot experiments showed that RC116 had a biocontrol efficacy of 81% against tomato bacterial wilt.

Summary: This study elucidates that wilt-resistant tomatoes activate defense and growth processes simultaneously, while wilt-susceptible tomatoes undergo root senescence and reduction in root surface area following Ralstonia inoculation. Wilt-resistant tomatoes invest resources to promote both growth and defense, while wilt-susceptible tomatoes fail to grow during defense and ultimately succumb to infection.

Summary: The study found that co-infection with Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium oxysporum can reduce the severity of bacterial wilt disease in tomato plants, with bikaverin synthesis by Fusarium contributing to this effect. The arrival time of each microbe at the infection court also impacts the severity of wilt disease. Additionally, analysis of the root secretome in co-infection revealed previously uncharacterized secreted metabolites that inhibit the growth of R. solanacearum and provide protection against bacterial wilt disease in tomato seedlings.

Summary: This study found that the use of the biological control strain Bacillus subtilis R31 significantly reduced the incidence of tomato bacterial wilt. R31 directly inhibits the growth of Ralstonia solanacearum, and can stably colonize the roots and rhizosphere soil of tomato plants for a long time. This research provides an important theoretical basis for understanding the mechanism of B. subtilis as a biological control agent against bacterial wilt.

Summary: This study evaluated the priming efficacy of chitosan and chitosan-derived nanoparticles (CNPs) against bacterial wilt of tomato. The results showed that CNPs treatment significantly protected tomato seedlings against pathogen-induced wilt disease, leading to better growth. The induced resistance was related to increased deposition of lignin, callose, H2O2, and superoxide radicals. Additionally, CNPs treatment upregulated the expression of defense-related genes and antioxidant enzymes in tomato plants, improving their defense response against bacterial wilt disease.

Summary: The plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum proliferates rapidly in xylem vessels, leading to plant death at a tipping point in bacterial wilt dynamics. Metabolic and physiological changes during infection are similar to drought stress. Glutamine is identified as the preferred substrate for R. solanacearum during colonization.

Summary: This study isolated six Streptomyces-like strains with high antagonistic activities against Ralstonia solanacearum, and found that the mixed strain (NEAU-D18 + NEAU-88) showed better control efficacy for tomato bacterial wilt than single strains. The mixed strain was demonstrated to be a potential biocontrol agent for reducing disease incidence and yield loss.

Summary: Foliar anthracnose is a major disease of onions in tropical and subtropical regions, with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides being a reported causal agent in Brazil. This study characterized 38 Colletotrichum isolates from Brazilian onion regions, identifying five species capable of inducing anthracnose in onions, with C. theobromicola being the most prevalent pathogen. This diversity of Colletotrichum species will impact anthracnose management strategies and cultivar selection.

Summary: This study identified for the first time that Colletotrichum siamense was the cause of leaf anthracnose in soursop seedling nurseries in Brazil. Through various experimental methods, the pathogenicity of the fungus was confirmed, and it was suggested that using disease-free seedlings is crucial in managing soursop anthracnose disease.
