Summary: The study identified that the biosynthetic pathways of salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene were highly enriched during wheat infection by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici. Additionally, hormone-related genes showed significant expression from 1 to 4 days post-infection, with up-regulation of the salicylic acid pathway and suppression of the jasmonic acid and ethylene pathways.

Summary: Wheat powdery mildew, caused by a fungus called Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a major threat to global wheat production. The use of resistant cultivars is a cost-effective method to manage this disease. However, new strains of the pathogen with higher virulence can render these resistance genes ineffective. Therefore, pyramiding multiple resistance genes into a single wheat genotype is crucial for achieving durable resistance.

Summary: The study identified the aspartic protease gene TiAP1 from wild wheat relative Thinopyrum intermedium, which plays a role in wheat's resistance against the biotrophic fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt). TiAP1 interacts with Bgt's chitin deacetylase (BgtCDA1) to activate wheat immune response and inhibit Bgt growth and penetration, enhancing wheat resistance to pathogens.

Summary: Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is a major disease affecting wheat worldwide. The role of class III peroxidases (PODs) in wheat resistance to Bgt was investigated. TaPOD70, a class III POD gene, was identified and found to be involved in regulating wheat resistance to Bgt. Knockdown of TaPOD70 increased wheat resistance to Bgt, leading to reduced hyphal development of the pathogen and enhanced production of hydrogen peroxide in the infected leaves.

Summary: Winter wheat line Tianmin 668 was crossed with susceptible cultivar Jingshuang 16 to develop 216 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) for analyzing its adult-plant resistance (APR) and all-stage resistance (ASR) against powdery mildew. Three loci-QPmtj.caas-2BL, QPmtj.caas-2AS, and QPmtj.caas-5AL-conferring APR to powdery mildew were detected on chromosomes 2BL, 2AS, and 5AL, respectively, of Tianmin 668. A Kompetitive allele-specific PCR marker specific for QPmtj.caas-2BL was developed and verified on 402 wheat cultivars or breeding lines.

Summary: The study aimed to identify major resistances against powdery mildew in a set of wheat accessions from the Czech gene bank and group them according to their responses. Resistance to the pathogen was mainly found in varieties from Northwest Europe, and spring wheats exhibited more frequent resistance compared to winter wheats. These results will facilitate the breeding of new wheat cultivars with improved resistance to powdery mildew using the identified gene bank accessions.

Summary: Powdery mildew is a devastating disease on wheat caused by the pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici. The complex genome of wheat has hindered the identification of resistance genes, but recent advances in sequencing, genomics, and gene isolation techniques have enabled progress in this area. The current research on wheat powdery mildew resistance focuses on multilayered resistance and manipulation of susceptibility genes.

Summary: This study tested the reactions to powdery mildew for a collection of 600 wheat cultivars and breeding lines and identified 116 resistant genotypes. Among them, 87 showed single genic inheritance, 19 showed dual genic inheritance, and 10 showed multiple genic inheritance. Molecular marker analysis revealed the widespread use of the Pm2 gene in these genotypes and the presence of other Pm genes.

Summary: Wheat genotypes resistant to powdery mildew have been developed and characterized in this study. Two near-isogenic lines were created, one with resistance to the disease and the other susceptible. Genetic and molecular marker analysis revealed that the resistance was associated with a specific gene locus, Pm5e. The two lines showed similar genomic compositions and performed similarly in yield-related and plant growth traits, indicating that Pm5e is a promising disease resistance gene in wheat breeding.

Summary: Wheat powdery mildew caused by the obligate biotrophic pathogen Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici poses a global threat to wheat production in China. Analysis of genetic variation and virulence structure of the pathogen revealed that some resistance genes were effective against most isolates, and there were gene exchanges and genetic relationships between different regions. However, the correlation between genetic polymorphisms and virulence diversity was not clear.

Summary: The utilization of lignocellulosic biomass for energy production via methane fermentation is economically and environmentally justified, although its low conversion factor requires the development of new pre-treatment methods. Using a pulsed electric field (PEF) to disintegrate rapeseed straw prior to methane fermentation significantly increased biogas productivity, with the best results achieved after a 5-minute PEF pre-treatment.

Summary: The study found that Lemna minor L. can significantly recover from antibiotic-induced damage within a week of stress cessation. Mitochondrial activity was the most sensitive plant property to antibiotic disturbances, with a high proportion of dead mitochondria in plants exposed to the highest tetracycline dose. Following transfer to a tetracycline-free medium, all plant parameters improved except for mitochondrial activity in high tetracycline concentration plants.

Summary: The phytotoxicity of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to plant seeds and seedlings depends on the properties and concentration of the nanoparticles, as well as the species and stress tolerance of the plants. In this study, citrate-stabilized spherical Ag NPs of different sizes were found to have no effect on the germination of wheat grains, but smaller nanoparticles decreased the growth of seedling roots. Significant rearrangements in carbohydrate profiles were observed in the seedlings, while most other polar metabolites remained unaffected.

Summary: Modern integrated farming systems promote the use of alternative methods of plant protection. This study investigated the fungistatic effect of fennel essential oil (FEO) and hop essential oil (HEO) on fungal growth and their ability to treat Fusarium wilt. The results showed that FEO inhibited the mycelial growth of various fungi more effectively than HEO, and both essential oils reduced the severity of Fusarium wilt.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze the concentrations of trichothecenes in durum wheat grain and changes in the F. graminearum transcriptome under the influence of the Debaryomyces hansenii antagonistic yeast strain. The results showed that Debaryomyces hansenii suppressed the spread of F. graminearum and decreased the content of trichothecenes. However, Debaryomyces hansenii had no effect on the biosynthesis pathway of trichothecenes.
