Building Accelerated Plant Breeding Pipelines: Screening to Evaluate Lima Bean Resistance to Root-Knot Nematode in Diverse Inbred Lines and Segregating Breeding Populations.

Lima beans () are a cornerstone crop of Delaware's processing vegetable industry. Root-knot nematodes (RKNs; spp.) cause galling of root systems, which severely reduces yield.

Understanding Environmental and Physiological Factors Affecting the Biology of , the Fungus Causing Latent Fruit Rot in Winterberry.

Fruit rot in winterberry is associated with a complex of fungal pathogens. Among them, plays a unique role by infecting flowers at bloom, resulting in symptom development in mature fruit. This research aimed to identify at what stage of maturation fruit can develop disease symptoms and correlate changes in fruit physiology (sugar and phenolic content) and environment (temperature and light intensity) with disease incidence.

First Report of Causing Anthracnose of Snake Plant () in Ohio and its Draft Genome.

(Prain) Mabb. is a popular houseplant in the United States. In September 2021, two diseased samples from two Ohio homeowners were received by the Ornamental Pathology Laboratory at The Ohio State University.

First Report of Causing Bacterial Leaf Spot on Winterberry Holly () in Ohio.

Winterberries ( and hybrids) are deciduous species of holly whose branches bearing colorful fruit are cut in late Fall to be used for seasonal decorations. The annual wholesale value of the woody cuts is $1.5 million nationally (NASS, 2019).
