Poland (Waleron et al. 2019), and also in Pakistan (Sarfraz et al. 2019) and Russia (Voronina et al. 2021). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. polaris causing aerial stem rot of potato in China. The stem rot poses a significant threat to the local potato industry, and further research on epidemiology and disease management options is needed.Meloidogyne incognita, the southern root-knot nematode (RKN), is the most predominant plant-parasitic nematode species of tomato and causes significant yield loss. The Mi-1.2 gene confers resistance in tomatoes to M. incognita; however, virulent RKN populations capable of parasitizing resistant tomato cultivars have been reported from different regions in the world. Four naturally occurring virulent populations of M. incognita were found in vegetable fields from four counties in Georgia with no history of tomato cultivation of the Mi gene. Two consecutive greenhouse trials showed that all four virulent RKN populations reproduced on tomato cultivars, including Amelia, Skyway, and Myrtle with the Mi-1 gene, while an avirulent population of M. incognita race 3 was unable to overcome host resistance. Virulent RKN populations varied in reproduction among resistant cultivars, with Ma6 population having the greatest reproduction potential. No difference in penetration potential of the virulent (Ma6) and avirulent populations were found on susceptible and resistant tomato cultivars. However, virulent Ma6 population females were successful at egg-laying, while the avirulent female development was arrested in the resistant cultivars. The virulent Ma6 population also induced feeding sites in the roots of resistant cultivars, while the avirulent population did not. To our knowledge, this is the first report of resistance-breaking populations of M. incognita in Georgia and the second state in the United States after California.Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is an aquatic dicotyledonous vegetable belonging to Brassicaceae (Aiton 1812). Watercress was grown in an aquaponic system on fired clay ball medium at the Aquaponic Research Station of the University of Debrecen, in the city of Debrecen (Hungary). During January 2020, 3-month-old plants showed symptoms in aquaponic cultivation. A visual survey showed 30% of plants with symptoms. Leaves and stems withered and showed white cotton-like mycelium. Mycelia from infected plants were placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at 25°C for seven days. Single hyphal tips were transferred to produce a pure culture. All ten fungal isolates showed similar morphological characteristics on PDA. Colonies consisted of white mycelia after three days and globoid to irregular and black 2.5 to 7 (average, 3) mm (n = 100 from ten plates) sclerotia formed ten days later, which are the typical morphological features of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Mordue et al. 1976). Molecular identification orum. Similar results were detected in three repeated experiments with white mold fungus being reisolated from all 45 infected watercress plants. The 45 non-inoculated plants did not show any symptoms and any diseases. This pathogen has already been reported on watercress in the field (Farr et al. 1989; Boland and Hall 1994; Garibaldi et al. 2019). This is the first reported case of white mold on watercress in aquaponic system in Hungary.Sanqi (Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant with a long planting cycle of 2-3 years that makes it vulnerable to root diseases caused by several pathogens, including Fusarium solani, Alternaria panax, Phytophthoracactorum, and Pseudomonas sp. In April 2019, root soft rot samples of Sanqi were collected from a plantation site in Songming, southwest of China. Typical symptoms included root softening and necrosis, yellow leaf, and stem wilting. Ten diseased roots samples were collected and sterilized with 0.1% HgCl2 for 1 min, 75% ethanol for 2min, and then rinsed thrice with sterile water. Sterilized roots were cut into small pieces of 5 × 5 mm and cultured on the nutrient agar (NA) medium for 48 h at 28°C. From the root cultures, a total of thirteen bacterial strains were obtained. Three strains, SM 2-5, SM 2-13, and SM 2-14 were selected for further study. These three strains were gram-negative, short rod-shaped (1～2×0.5～1μm), non-spore-forming and had polar tufted flarate of 70%. Each treatment group included 3 plants with 3 replicates. Ten days post inoculation, symptoms similar to the ones in natural conditions were observed in the bacteria-inoculated plants. Based on the disease index (Li et al. 2020), we found that among the three strains, SM 2-13 displayed the highest virulence, while no symptoms were observed in the control plants. The same bacterial strains were re-isolated from these inoculated roots and identified by the methods described above. Previous studies showed that some Stenotrophomonas species cause plant diseases such as rice white stripe (Singh et al. 2001), strawberry leaf black spot (Wang et al. 2017), Cyclobalanopsis patelliformis leaf spot (Bian et al. 2020), and Jatropha curcas L. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ly333531.html seed borne and stem necrosis (Wang et al. 2018). To our knowledge, this is the first report confirming Stenotrophomonas maltophilia causing root soft rot of Panax notoginseng in China.Tomato mottle mosaic virus, a new species in the genus Tobamovirus and family Virgaviridae, was first reported on tomato in Mexico in 2013 (Li et al. 2013). Subsequently, tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) was found infecting pepper and eggplant in China (Li et al. 2014; Chai et al. 2018). ToMMV was thought to pose a serious risk to solanaceous crops due to its potential to break resistance and numerous transmission ways (Li et al. 2020), meanwhile, some plant species in the families of Amaranthaceae, Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Verbenaceae, were found as the hosts of ToMMV under experimental condition (Sui et al. 2017; Li et al. 2020). To clarify the occurrence of ToMMV in Yunnan province of China, 395 plant samples, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and pea (Pisum sativum L.), exhibiting viral-like symptoms were collected in major crop plantations in Yunnan province in 2020. Total nucleic acids were extracted from the diseased samples using a CTAB method (Li et al.ld. Since pea, pepper and tomato are economically important cash crops in China, proper virus management strategies for the cultivation of these crops should be adopted.Potato blackleg is frequently observed on the production fields in the Bačka region of Vojvodina province, which is one of the largest potato-growing areas in Serbia. This disease usually occurs during June and July. In July 2020, blackleg symptoms in the form of stem necrotic lesions, vascular discoloration, hollow stems, and wilting of whole plants were noted on potato cultivar VR808 on a field 28 ha in size located in Maglić village (GPS coordinates 45.349325 N, 19.542768 E). Disease incidence was estimated at 20-25%. Isolations were performed from 12 potato samples on Crystal Violet Pectate medium (CVP). Stem sections consisted of brown lesions and healthy tissue (c.10 cm) were surface sterilized with ethyl alcohol 70% (w/v) and rinsed with sterile distilled water. Small pieces of tissue were taken at the edges of stem lesions (between healthy and diseased tissue) were soaked in phosphate buffer saline for 20 min and plated using a standard procedure (Klement et al. 1990). Single colonies that formed pitss they point to the diversity in potato blackleg pathogens, likely due to the increasingly widespread distribution of imported seed potatoes.Melochia corchorifolia L. is a plant belonging to the family Sterculiaceae, extracts from this plant have been reported to inhibit melanogenesis (Yuan et al., 2020). During September to November 2020, the plants showing abnormal symptoms including witches'-broom, leaf chlorosis, leaflet and internode shortening (Fig.1), were found in Dingan county of Hainan province, China, with about 50% infection rates in the field. The disease symptoms were suspected to be caused by the phytoplasma, a plant pathogenic prokaryotes that could not be cultured in vitro. Aiming to confirm the pathogen causing the symptoms, total DNA of the symptomatic or asymptomatic Melochia corchorifolia samples were extracted by CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle, 1990) using 0.10 g fresh plant leaves using the rapid extraction kit for plant genomic DNA (CTAB Plant Genome DNA Rapid Extraction Kit, Aidlab Biotechnologies Co., Ltd, Beijing, China). PCR reactions were performed using primers R16mF2/R16mR1 (Gundersen and Lee, 1996) specific for phytoplochia corchorifolia witches'-broom disease in Hainan Province, a tropical island of China. The phytoplasma strain identified in the study was relatively close to 16SrII peanut witches'-broom group phytoplasma strains associated with witches'-broom or little leaf diseases in the plants like Peanut, Tephrosia purpurea, Cassava and Desmodium triflorum. Our finding in the study indicated that Melochia corchorifolia may act as an alternative natural host not only for 16SrI-B subgroup phytoplasma but also for 16SrII-V subgroup phytoplasma, which would contribute to the spreading of the related phytoplasma diseases.In Brazil, citrus huanglongbing (HLB) is associated with 'Candidatus Liberibacter americanus' (CLam) and 'Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas). However, there are few studies about HLB epidemiology when both Liberibacter spp. and its insect vector, the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, Diaphorina citri), are present. The objective of this work was to compare the transmission of HLB by ACP when both CLam and CLas are present as primary inoculum. Two experiments were performed under screenhouse conditions from April 2008 to January 2012 (experiment 1) and from February 2011 to December 2015 (experiment 2). The experiments were carried out with sweet orange plants infected with CLam or CLas as inoculum source surrounded by sweet orange healthy plants. One hundred Liberibacter-free adult psyllids were monthly confined to the source of inoculum plants for 7 days with subsequent free movement inside the screenhouse. Fortnightly, nymphs and adults of psyllids were monitored. Psyllid and leaf samples were collected periodically for Liberibacter detection by PCR or qPCR. CLas was detected more frequently than CLam in both psyllid and leaf samples. No mixed infections were detected in the psyllids. A clear prevalence of CLas over CLam was observed in both experiments. The final HLB incidences were 16.7 and 14.5% of Liberibacter-positive test plants, and CLas was detected in 92.3 and 93.1% of these infected plants. Mixed infection was observed only in 3.8% of infected test plants in experiment 1. These results endorse the shift in the prevalence of CLam to CLas observed in citrus orchards of São Paulo, Brazil.Despite the pervasiveness of facial inferences, scholars have debated whether our face reflects valid information regarding how we actually behave. Whereas previous research has largely focused on the accuracy of facial inferences, the present research examined the validity of face-based judgments. Specifically, we tested how accurate face-based judgments are, whether the accuracy of and confidence in face-based judgments are associated, and what mechanisms potentially link facial appearance to behaviors (N = 1,386 American and Korean adults). We found that although face-based judgments could accurately predict someone's behavior (Study 1), participants' confidence about their face-based judgments was not associated with their accuracy (Studies 2a and 2b). Moreover, Study 3 demonstrated that the accuracy of facial inferences is possibly due to self-fulfilling effects of facial inferences. That is, accuracy is largely driven by perceivers' beliefs rather than by the direct association between faces and behaviors.
