Cell polarization is a crucial process during plant development, as well as in plant-microbe interactions, and is frequently associated with extensive cytoskeletal rearrangements. In interactions of plants with inappropriate fungal pathogens (so-called non-host interactions), the actin cytoskeleton is thought to contribute to the establishment of effective barriers at the cell periphery against...

Abstract Key message Comprehensive management of urban greenery is a key approach to control fungal diseases trees and shrubs avoid the deterioration in their health status. Preliminary investigations on status related growing four green squares Warsaw were conducted 2017–2019. The examined plants affected by that are commonly identified greenery, e.g., powdery mildew (causal agents: Sawadaea t...

The pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an excellent protein source for livestock and human nutrition. However, its growth hampered by several factors including powdery mildew (Erysiphe pisi DC) lodging in irrigation areas. These limitations may be solved through combining a Canada mildew-resistant (Mp1807) with green cotyledon cultivar (Graf) means of sexual hybridization. A bred semi-leafless pea, Long...

BACKGROUND Genome sequencing projects have been completed for several species representing four highly diverged holometabolous insect orders, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera. The striking evolutionary diversity of insects argues a need for efficient methods to apply genome information from such models to genetically uncharacterized species. Constructing conserved synteny maps ...

One genus and species are synonymized in the tribe Empoascini of the subfamily Typhlocybinae. Bhatasca Dworakowska, 1995is a junior synonym of Alebrasca Hayashi & Okada, 1994, Bhatasca rectangulata Qin & Zhang, 2011is a junior synonym of Alebrasca actinidiae Hayashi & Okada, 1994. Furthermore, Bhatasca expansa is (necessarily) transferred to the genus Alebrasca.

A powdery mildew was found associated with the coastal wattle, Acacia sophorae, at Tullymorgan, in northern New South Wales, Australia. Morphological characterisation identified it as belonging to genus Erysiphe, while internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing and phylogenetic analysis confirmed Erysiphe quercicola, a pathogen worldwide distribution broad host range. This is first record of ...
