Summary: Round leaf spot disease caused by M. acerina is a highly destructive disease in Sanqi (Panax notoginseng) plantations in China. This study developed a specific and sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for detecting M. acerina using primers targeting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The optimized LAMP assay showed high specificity and sensitivity, successfully detecting M. acerina in both symptomatic and latently infected leaf samples. The LAMP assay has the potential to be an efficient and specific method for diagnosing and managing round leaf spot disease in the field.

Summary: Panax notoginseng is an important medicinal crop in China, but root rot during the rainy season has hindered its development. This study investigated the effects of rainfall and fertilizer on root exudates, soil bacterial structure, and root rot in P. notoginseng. The results showed that a rain shelter had a greater impact than fertilizer, and the combination of both further reduced root rot incidence. The DWF treatment decreased soil moisture, phenolic acid concentration, and root rot incidence, while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, leading to the lowest incidence of root rot.

Summary: Monoterpenes play a significant role in grape and wine aroma. The study revealed that bound monoterpenes biosynthesis is repressed during the rainy season, and rain-shelter cultivation can enhance the content of monoterpenes in grapes and wines, improving tolerance to rain-induced stresses.

Summary: This study provides the first physical evidence of root size changes in Panax notoginseng during the past 100 years of cultivation, and reveals how the cultivation environment affects root size and chemical composition. Transcriptome analysis also identifies genes and chemical compounds associated with root size changes.

Summary: This study integrated habitat and quality assessment of Panax notoginseng for its potential distribution in China under climate change conditions. Results showed that suitable habitats were mainly distributed in central and eastern Yunnan Province, but were predicted to decrease and move to high-altitude areas in the future. The saponin content in highly suitable habitats was relatively low, with temperature and precipitation playing key roles in the distribution of P. notoginseng.

Summary: Rainfall under continental climates with monsoonal tendency affects the microbial niches in vineyards during grapevine growth. Cultivation under rain-shelter may alter the microbial community and impact vine traits. This study found that rain-shelter cultivation reduced fungal and bacterial diversity, with differences observed in microbial patterns between different growth stages.

Summary: A two dimensional thermal-mechanical coupled model was developed to investigate the deformation behavior of a 195 mm round bloom during soft reduction in the reduction force mode. A multi-unit soft reduction plan resulted in reduced shrinkage porosity and spot segregation in the center of the round bloom. The oil pipe produced with soft reduction exhibited improved resistance to sulfide stress corrosion.

Summary: Leaching of soil with high levels of phenols can significantly reduce the incidence of root rot disease in P. notoginseng by decreasing phenol content and modifying the soil microbial community. The relationship between root rot, soil chemical properties, phenol content, and rhizospheric microorganisms was analyzed.

Summary: The growth of the Chinese herbal medicine industry has led to the emergence of new pests and diseases. An unidentified root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, has become a significant pest in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, affecting monkshood production. This is the first report of M. hapla infecting monkshood in these provinces.

Summary: The under-forest economy can improve land use efficiency, protect the environment, and promote sustainable development. The effects of different soil moisture on the growth of Panax notoginseng cultivated under pine forests were explored. The results showed that quantitative irrigation (80-85% FC) is conducive to maintaining the balance between yield, saponin content, and disease occurrence, providing a practical basis for irrigation strategy and promoting the sustainable development of the agroforestry system.
