Purple blotch, caused by (Ellis) Cifferi, is a serious disease incurring heavy yield losses in the bulb and seed crop of onion and garlic worldwide. There is an immediate need for identification of effective resistance sources for use in host resistance breeding. A total of 43 genotypes were screened for purple blotch resistance under field conditions. accession 'CBT-Ac77' and cultivar 'Arka Kalyan' were observed to be highly resistant. inoculation of a selected set of genotypes with , revealed that 7 days after inoculation was suitable to observe the disease severity. screening of 43 genotypes for resistance to revealed two resistant lines. An additional 14 genotypes showed consistent moderate resistance in the field as well as evaluations. Among the related species, and showed the least disease index and can be used for interspecific hybridization with cultivated onion. Differential reaction analysis of three isolates () in 43 genotypes revealed significant variation among the evaluated species ( = 0.001). All together, the present study suggest that, the newly identified resistance sources can be used as potential donors for ongoing purple blotch resistance breeding program in India.

This article presents the chili and onion leaf (COLD) dataset, which focuses on the leaves of chili and onion plants, scientifically known as Allium cepa and capsicum. The presence of various diseases such as Purple blotch, Stemphylium leaf blight, Colletotrichum leaf blight, and Iris yellow spot virus in onions, as well as Cercospora leaf spot, powdery mildew, Murda complex syndrome, and nutrition deficiency in chili, have had a significant negative effect on onion and chili production. As a consequence, farmers have incurred financial losses.

Dermoscopic Features of Subcorneal Hematoma on the Palms and Soles: Differences from Acral Melanoma.

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat

Moon-Bum Kim, MD, PhD Department of Dermatology, Pusan National University Hospital, 179 Gudeok-ro, Seo-gu Busan, Korea

Background: The diagnosis of subcorneal hematoma (SH) can be challenging because the clinical presentation of SH can resemble melanocytic lesions. Few studies have examined the characteristic dermoscopic features of SH, but a more detailed large-scale study is needed to overcome the diagnostic challenge of differentiating it from acral melanoma.

Objectives: To describe the dermoscopic features of SH.
