In the present study we used two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix-associated laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry to verify whether the protein expression of sea bass sperm was affected by the cryopreservation procedure. The protein profiles differed between fresh and frozen-thawed semen as revealed by visual inspection and by image analysis software. We identified 163 spots in fresh sperm; among these, 13 were significantly decreased and 8 were absent in two-dimensional gel obtained with cryopreserved sperm. Five of these spots were analyzed with MALDI-TOF, but only three showed a significant match in the databases used in bio-informatics analysis (PeptIdent, Mascot, and MS-Fit). In particular, spot 5 showed homology with a novel protein of zebrafish (similar to SKB1 of human and mouse), spot 13 showed homology with amphibian G1/S-specific cyclin E2, and spot 20 showed homology with the hypothetical protein DKFZp566A1524 of Brachidanio rerio. The present work shows that the use of the cryopreservation procedure causes the degradation of sperm proteins and among these, two could be at least partially responsible for the observed decrease in sperm motility duration and the lower hatching rate of eggs fertilized with cryopreserved sperm.

Article Synopsis
- Daylily (Hemerocallis citrina) is an important vegetable and medicinal plant in China, but little is known about its pathogens, particularly fungal infections.
- In April 2023, 20% of daylily seedlings in Dazhou city showed leaf spot symptoms, prompting researchers to isolate and identify the responsible fungi.
- Two types of fungal isolates were identified, exhibiting similar growth characteristics, and their genetic material was sequenced to confirm their identities, contributing to the understanding of daylily pathogens.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored watermelon diseases in two distinct climatic regions of Bangladesh, Sylhet (cool and wet) and Natore (hot and dry), by surveying 40 fields and identifying 10 diseases.
- A total of nine pathogens were identified through molecular analysis at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, including various fungi, bacteria, and a water mold, with high genetic similarity to sequences in the GenBank database.
- The results indicated that Fusarium wilt was the most prevalent disease in Sylhet, while Angular leaf spot dominated in Natore, emphasizing the need for disease management strategies tailored to specific environmental conditions.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the threat of an invasive plant species that harms biodiversity and explores the use of fungal herbicides derived from phytopathogenic fungi to combat it.! -
- Researchers isolated a strain called SWFU-MM002, characterized its morphology and gene sequences, and determined its optimal growth conditions (PDA medium, 27°C, and specific pH and nutrient sources).! -
- Findings reveal that SWFU-MM002 effectively invades the leaf tissue and causes damage, marking the first report of leaf spot disease caused by this strain, potentially aiding in future control measures for the invasive plant.!
