AI Article Synopsis

  • Many fungal species are significant pathogens affecting soybean crops, leading to major yield losses from diseases like seed decay and stem blight.
  • An extensive field survey was conducted in six provinces of China from 2019 to 2020, identifying 92 isolates from soybean stems, classified into six species, with one unidentified species.
  • The study found high genetic diversity and varying virulence levels among the isolates, providing crucial insights for developing effective management strategies against soybean stem blight.

Article Abstract

Many species in the fungal (anamorph ) genus have become a group of the most important pathogens that cause seed decay, stem and pot blight, and stem canker in soybean production worldwide, resulting in significant yield loss. Due to increased disease prevalence but a lack of research, we performed an extensive field survey to isolate and identify the species associated with soybean stem blight in six provinces of China between 2019 and 2020. A total of 92 isolates were identified based on morphological and multilocus phylogenetic analysis and classified into six species: , , , , , and an unknown sp. The most frequently identified species was with 57 isolates. High genetic diversity was observed for the isolates, and haplotype network analysis revealed a mixed structure among the population in the six provinces. In comparative pathogenicity assays, different virulence levels were observed among the 92 isolates. The results of this study provide new insights into the spp. associated with soybean stem blight in China and can help in the development of effective management strategies.

Background: Phytophthora sojae (Kaufmann and Gerdemann), a pathogenic oomycete, causes one of the most destructive soybean diseases, Phytophthora root and stem rot (PRR). Previous studies have shown that benzoxazines (BXs) such as 6-methoxy-benzoxazolin-2-one (MBOA) and benzoxazoline-2-one (BOA) in maize root exudates inhibit the chemotaxis of zoospores, as well as the mycelial growth and pathogenicity of P. sojae.

The Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma products processed with different methods, including raw materials(S) and products processed with honey according to the method in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Z) and Jianchangbang method(M), were analyzed in terms of the odor profile and volatile components by the electronic nose and headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS). The differential components in the three products were screened by chemometrics, on the basis of which the relative odor activity value(ROAV) was adopted to elucidate the odor differences among different products and the material basis of their odors. The results showed that the electronic nose effectively distinguished the products of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma processed with different methods.

Regulation of Shade Avoidance Under Low-Blue-Light by MTA in Soybean.

State Key Laboratory of Crop Gene Resources and Breeding, Key Laboratory of Soybean Biology (Beijing) (MARA), Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing, 100081, China.

Under low blue light (LBL) conditions, soybean exhibits classic shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) with exaggerated stem elongation (ESE), leading to lodging and yield reduction in dense farming. Recently, mRNA modification by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has emerged as a crucial epigenetic mechanism regulating plant biological processes; however, its impact on shade avoidance remains unexplored. In this study, the double mutants, gmmtas, that are impaired in two mA writer genes, GmMTAa and GmMTAb that encode mA methyltransferases or mA writers are generated.
