Yellow blotch disease of the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) was first observed in a commercial mushroom farm in California in 1983. The disease, caused by Pseudomonas agarici, is characterized by primordia, with yellow droplets on their surface, which become stunted, yellow to orange, and deformed as they mature.

Article Synopsis
- - A new species of small fish called Enteromius gamo sp. nov. has been identified in rivers and wetlands near lakes Abaya and Chamo in south-western Ethiopia.
- - This species is part of a group typically recognized as E. kerstenii and has unique features such as a thick last unbranched ray in the dorsal fin, fewer scales on its body, and distinctive color markings on its operculum.
- - Genetic analysis shows significant differences from E. kerstenii found in Tanzania, and the new species can also be identified by shorter barbels compared to other related species in East Africa.

Article Synopsis
- Chinese olive (Canarium album) is a significant plant in southern China, valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties, but it faces issues from fungal diseases, particularly in a 400 hectare orchard in Guangdong province, where a 40% leaf blotch incidence was noted.
- The study involved analyzing symptomatic leaves to identify the fungal causal agent, leading to the culture of four isolates with one representative isolate (LB-1) that showed characteristics similar to Phyllosticta capitalensis.
- The genomic analysis included morphological observations and sequencing of the ITS region, with the sequences deposited in NCBI GenBank, highlighting the need for further research on the impacts of this pathogen on Chinese olive production.

Article Synopsis
- Amorphophallus konjac, or konjac, is a valuable plant in Asia, known for both economic and medicinal properties, but it is facing a leaf blight outbreak in Yunnan, China as of July 2024.
- The disease causes brown lesions on leaves that worsen over time, leading to significant drops in plant health and corm yield.
- To identify the bacteria responsible, researchers isolated samples, characterized them using genetic sequencing, and found that their isolates closely resembled a strain of K. cowanii.
Stacking beneficial haplotypes from the Vavilov wheat collection to accelerate breeding for multiple disease resistance.

We revealed the neglected genetic relationships of resistance for six major wheat diseases and established a haploblock-based catalogue with novel forms of resistance by multi-trait haplotype characterisation. Genetic potential to improve multiple disease resistance was highlighted through haplotype stacking simulations. Wheat production is threatened by numerous fungal diseases, but the potential to breed for multiple disease resistance (MDR) mechanisms is yet to be explored.

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.
