Snap beans are a group of bean cultivars grown for their edible immature pods. The objective of this work was to characterize the diversity of pod phenotypes in a snap bean panel (SBP), comprising 311 lines collected in Europe, and establish a core set (Core-SBP) with the maximum diversity of pod phenotypes. Phenotyping of the SBP was carried out over two seasons based on 14 quantitative pod dimension traits along with three qualitative traits: pod color, seed coat color, and growth habit. Phenotypes were grouped into 54 classes using a hierarchical method, and a Core-SBP with one line per phenotype class was established. A further field-based evaluation of the Core-SBP revealed higher diversity index values than those obtained for the SBP. The Core-SBP was also genotyped using 24 breeder-friendly DNA markers tagging 21 genomic regions previously associated with pod trait control. Significant marker-trait associations were found for 11 of the 21 analyzed regions as well as the locus fin. The established Core-SBP was a first attempt to classify snap bean cultivars based on pod morphology and constituted a valuable source of characteristics for future breeding programs and genetic analysis.

Grapevine red blotch is an emerging disease that threatens vineyard productions in North America. Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV, species , genus , family ), the causal agent of red blotch disease, is transmitted by (Hemiptera: Membracidae) in a circulative, non-propagative mode. To gain new insight into GRBV- interactions, we delved into vertical transmission and documented a lack of transovarial transmission.

As two major pests of cowpea in South China, bean flower thrips [ (Bagnall)] and flower thrips [ (Trybom)] always occur on the same plant. In this study, the two-sex life table parameters of these two species were investigated on three bean pods: cowpea ( L. var.

The snap bean ( L.) is highly sensitive to both phosphorus (P) deficiency and hypoxic stress, which together can significantly hinder plant growth, nutrient uptake, and yield; however, limited information exists on the effect of P and oxygen (O) fertilization to alleviate these stresses and enhance yield. A two-year field experiment assessed the effects of P and O fertilization on plant growth, pod yield, and P uptake in acidic sandy soil.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how pod width affects various characteristics like size and yield in snap beans, identifying the PvPW1 locus as crucial for pod width regulation.
- - Researchers pinpointed the gene Phvul.006G072800, responsible for the protein β-1,3-glucanase 9, as the main gene linked to the PvPW1 locus, which influences pod width in snap beans.
- - An 8-bp deletion related to the PvPW1 locus led to the creation of a new genetic marker, PvM436, that assists in breeding wider pod snap bean varieties, demonstrating its importance for future agricultural practices.

Background: Critical care beds are a limited resource, yet research indicates that recommendations for postoperative critical care admission based on patient-level risk stratification are not followed. It is unclear how prioritisation decisions are made in real-world settings and the effect of this prioritisation on outcomes.
Methods: This was a prespecified analysis of an observational cohort study of adult patients undergoing inpatient surgery, conducted in 274 hospitals across the UK and Australasia during 2017.
