Corn smut is one of the major diseases in corn production. The cob infection causes high economic and quality loss. This research investigated the effects of three different concentrations of corn smut infection (2500, 5000, and 10,000 sporidia/mL) on two Hungarian sweet corn hybrids (Desszert 73 and Noa).

Article Synopsis
- Cryphonectria parasitica is a significant fungal pathogen causing chestnut blight in chestnut trees, originally from Eastern Asia, and has spread to North America and Europe.
- Researchers collected nearly 100 isolates throughout the Carpathian Basin to analyze their diversity and genetic relationships using three nuclear molecular markers: ITS, tef1, and microsatellite loci.
- The study found high genetic variation in the microsatellite markers among populations, indicating multiple introductions from various origins, often aided by human activities in the dispersal of this pathogen.
