In September 2013, we discovered sooty mould growing on kenaf with the extrafloral nectaries in Iksan, Korea and identified the causative fungus as Leptoxyphium kurandae based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses. This is the first report of sooty mould caused by L. kurandae on kenaf in Korea and globally.

Background: Acanthacoccus lagerstroemiae (crape myrtle bark scale, CMBS) is an exotic scale insect that feeds on the sap of crape myrtle trees. Heavy infestations of CMBS reduce flowering and honeydew promotes sooty mold growth on the leaves and branches, reducing the aesthetic value of crape myrtle trees in urban landscapes. Lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are generalist predators that feed on CMBS.

Background: Sooty mold (SM), caused by Cladosporium species, is a pervasive threat to tea plant health, affecting both canopy structure and crop yield. Despite its significance, understanding the complex interplay between defense genes and metabolites in tea plants across various SM-infected canopy layers remains limited. Our study employed hyperspectral imaging, transcriptomic profiling, and metabolomic analysis to decipher the intricate mechanisms underlying the tea plant's response to SM infection.
