- Preventing antifungal resistance and identifying the risk levels of pathogens to fungicides is vital for managing phytopathogens.
- Researchers examined how different potato wilt-related fungal isolates reacted to two fungicides, fludioxonil and penconazole.
- While penconazole was effective at stunting fungal growth, fludioxonil showed varying effects, sometimes even stimulating growth at low concentrations, indicating a potential risk of developing resistance over time.
- The study suggests that continuous use of fludioxonil may render it unsuitable for protecting potatoes due to increasing resistance.
Article Synopsis
- In recent years, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have gained traction as biofertilizers, prompting the need to discover new beneficial isolates.
- A new non-sporulating Gram-positive bacterium strain, MG-1, was isolated from potato rhizosphere and characterized genetically, showing optimal growth in specific pH and temperature conditions.
- MG-1 enhances plant growth, boosts biomass accumulation in various seeds, and mitigates salt stress, suggesting its potential application in agriculture, especially in saline soils.
The use of optical carrier frequencies will enable seamless data connection for future terrestrial and underwater internet uses and will resolve the technological gap faced by other communication modalities. However, several issues must be solved to propel this technological shift, which include the limitations in designing optical receivers with large detection areas, omnidirectionality, and high modulation bandwidth, mimicking antennas operating in the radio-frequency spectrum. To address this technological gap, herein, we demonstrate halide-perovskite-polymer-based scintillating fibers as a near-omnidirectional detection platform for several tens-to-hundreds of Mbit/s optical communication in both free space and underwater links.

However, the CsPbBr/SiO composites produced so far do not exhibit strong photoluminescence emission and, simultaneously, high stability against heat and water. We demonstrate a molten-salts-based approach delivering CsPbBr/mesoporous-SiO composites with high PLQY (89 ± 10%) and high stability against heat, water, and aqua regia.

- The study examined how the probiotic strain GM5 affects growth and gut bacteria in broiler chickens compared to a control diet.
- On days 1, 10, and 42, microbial communities showed significant changes in composition, with distinct clusters between the control and probiotic groups observed through Principal Component Analysis.
- Chickens fed the GM5 probiotics had higher average daily weight gain and improved feed conversion, indicating that the probiotic enhances gut microbiota while supporting better growth and feed efficiency.
Structure and variation of root-associated microbiomes of potato grown in alfisol.

Article Synopsis
- Root-associated fungi and bacteria significantly impact plant growth and immunity, and this study focused on analyzing the microbial diversity in potato plants grown in Tatarstan's Alfisol soil.
- Using advanced genetic techniques, researchers identified thousands of bacterial and fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs), finding greater biodiversity in the rhizosphere (RS) compared to the rhizoplane (RP), particularly among dominant bacterial phyla such as Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes.
- Fungal analysis revealed a predominance of Ascomycota, with specific beneficial genera being more abundant in the potato rhizoplane, suggesting the potential for enhanced plant health through these microbial communities.
We demonstrate enhancement of the photoluminescence (PL) properties of individual zero-dimensional (0D) CsPbBr perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) upon encapsulation by alumina using an appropriately modified atomic layer deposition method. In addition to the increased PL intensity and improved long-term stability of encapsulated PNCs, our single-particle studies reveal substantial changes in the PL blinking statistics and the persistent appearance of the long-lived, "delayed" PL components. The blinking patterns exhibit a modification from the fast switching between fluorescent ON and OFF states found in bare PNCs to a behavior with longer ON states and more isolated OFF states in alumina-encapsulated PNCs.
