Hostas are very popular ornamental plants in gardens in the United States, Europe, and East Asia. We have developed nine microsatellite loci from an enrichment library of genomic DNA in Hosta albomarginata. We characterized these nine microsatellite loci for 20 individuals from a population of H. albomarginata. The primers developed in this study yielded an average of 12.4 alleles per locus (range five to 20) and an average expected heterozygosity of 0.86 (range 0.65 to 0.95). These markers will be powerful tools for breeding programmes of hosta cultivars, studies of population genetics, and the conservation of wild hosta species.

Article Synopsis
- Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum, or Lesser Solomon's seal, is a perennial plant found in temperate regions, valued for its medicinal properties, including tea production.
- In September 2021, a new type of anthracnose, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum, was reported affecting 20-30% of these plants in Chuncheon and Wanju, Korea, showing symptoms like leaf yellowing and brown lesions.
- The disease progressed during the rainy season, leading to significant leaf blight, and five fungal isolates were collected for study, with details about their morphological characteristics noted for further research.

Slavonia is the most developed agricultural region in Croatia. With rich and fertile soils that have enabled the cultivation of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and cereals, Slavonia has always met the food needs of its population. Today, the biocultural diversity of local varieties and semi-natural vegetation has irretrievably disappeared.

Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) (Orthotospovirus impatiensnecromaculae) is a virus in the Order Bunyavirales and Family Tospoviridae. The virus is vectored by several species of thrips and is a serious pathogen of ornamentals and lettuce in the United States (Hasegawa & Del Pozo-Valdivia 2023; Daughtrey, M. L.

Background: Several plants are facing drought stress due to climate change in recent years. In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of varying watering frequency on the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of Hosta 'Guacamole'. Moreover, we investigated the effect of high-nitrogen and -potassium fertilizers on alleviating the impacts of drought stress on the morphology, photosynthetic characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, fast chlorophyll a fluorescence transient, JIP-test parameters, and enzymatic and non-enzymatic scavenging system for reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this species.

Article Synopsis
- Hosta longipes is a perennial plant from Japan and Korea, valued for its edibility and ornamental use, but it has recently faced an anthracnose disease outbreak in Korea with over 70% incidence.
- The disease primarily affects older leaves first, displaying symptoms like yellow to white discoloration and black necrotic tissue, prompting the collection of infected samples for further study.
- Morphological analysis and genetic sequencing of one fungal isolate suggest it is Colletotrichum spaethianum, confirming the disease-causing agent responsible for the observed symptoms.
