Bacterial leaf spot (BLS) caused by pv. () places a major constraint on lettuce production worldwide. The most sustainable strategy known to date for controlling BLS is the use of resistant cultivars. The nutrient elemental signature (ionome) of ten lettuce cultivars with three levels of resistance was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) to determine which nutrient balances are linked to resistance to BLS, and to assess the effect of infection on the ionome. The elemental concentrations were preprocessed with isometric log-ratios to define nutrient balances. Using this approach, 4 out of 11 univariate nutrient balances were found to significantly influence the resistance of lettuce cultivars to BLS ( < 0.05). These significant balances were the overall nutritional status balancing all measured nutrients with their complementary in the dry mass, as well as balances [Mn | Zn,Cu], [Zn | Cu], and [S,N | P]. Moreover, the infection of lettuce cultivars mostly affected the lettuce ionome on the [N,S | P] balance, where infection tended to lean the balance toward the N,S part relatively to P. This study shows that nutrient uptake in lettuce can be affected by BLS infection and that nutrient status influences resistance to BLS infection.

In an environmentally controlled plant factory with LED red-blue light, the effects of conventional light (4R:1B, 200 μmol·m·s, 18/6 h) and continuous light (CL, 24/0 h) with three light intensities (4R:1B, 200, 300 and 400 μmol·m·s, 24/0 h) on yield, nutritional quality, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH) in green-leaf Yidali and purple-leaf Zishan lettuces were investigated. The results showed that the dry and fresh shoot weight of two lettuces exposed to CL tended to increase with light intensity-from 200 to 400 μmol·m·s-compared to conventional light, while the leaf area tended to decrease or remained unchanged. High-intensity CL could significantly increase soluble sugar and reduce the nitrate contents of the two lettuces.

This work examined the attachment of porcine rotavirus (PRV) and Tulane virus (TV), a surrogate for human norovirus, to fresh and artificial phylloplanes of Romaine lettuce and Carmel spinach. The effect of produce type, sanitizer, and ultrasound treatment on removal of PRV and TV from produce and artificial surfaces was also investigated. Sanitization was performed with two oxidant-based sanitizers (chlorine and peroxyacetic acid) and one surfactant-based sanitizer (0.

Aquaponics is an innovative agricultural method combining aquaculture and hydroponics. However, this balance can lead to the gradual depletion of essential micronutrients, particularly iron. Over time, decreasing iron levels can negatively impact plant health and productivity, making the monitoring and management of iron in aquaponic systems vital.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of a plant-derived biostimulant from borage flowers on two types of lettuce, assessing its impact on crop yield, quality, and stress tolerance.
- The biostimulant was applied as a foliar spray over three weeks, with a focus on measuring various growth parameters and conducting both non-destructive and destructive analyses.
- Results showed that while the biostimulant negatively impacted head weight in the red lettuce cultivar, it improved nitrogen nutrition in the green cultivar and influenced factors like chlorophyll efficiency and anthocyanin levels differently between the two lettuce types.
First Report of Causing Blossom Blight on Passion Fruit ( Sims) in China.

Guangxi University, College of Agriculture, 100 Daxue East Road, Nanning, Guangxi, China, 530004;
Article Synopsis
- Passion fruit, an economically significant crop in Guangxi, China, experienced a blossom blight epidemic in September 2022, affecting about 30% of plants in a 2.5 ha area.
- The disease resulted in initial water-soaked spots on flowers that progressed to wet rot, characterized by white mycelia and dark sporangia.
- Three fungal isolates linked to the illness were identified as Choanephora cucurbitarum based on their morphological features and genetic sequencing, confirming the fungus's identity through a high degree of similarity in ribosomal DNA sequences.
