Article Synopsis
- Charcoal rot, primarily influenced by environmental stressors, negatively impacts soybean and dry bean yield and quality, with increasing concern due to global climate change.
- A study sequenced the genomes of 95 isolates from soybean and dry bean across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Colombia, revealing distinct genetic groupings, especially that U.S. isolates showed a clonal structure and significant genetic differentiation compared to those from Puerto Rico and Colombia.
- Redundancy analysis showed that climate significantly impacts genomic variation, especially temperature seasonality and precipitation, identifying genes related to fungal stress responses that assist in adaptation to climatic changes.
Bacterial panicle blight (BPB) caused by Burkholderia glumae is one of the main concerns for rice production in the Americas since bacterial infection can interfere with the grain-filling process and under severe conditions can result in high sterility. B. glumae has been detected in several rice-growing areas of Colombia and other countries of Central and Andean regions in Latin America, although evidence of its involvement in decreasing yield under these conditions is lacking.

To estimate the genetic diversity of the bacterial strains present in a rice paddy field in Colombia, we sampled 109 strains from infected panicles.
