White mold can result in snap bean yield losses of 90 to 100% when field conditions favor the pathogen. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to detect loci significantly associated with white mold resistance in a panel of snap bean ( L.) cultivars. Two populations of snap bean were used in this study. The first population was the BeanCAP (Coordinated Agriculture Project) Snap Bean Diversity Panel (SBDP) ( = 136), and the second population was the Snap Bean Association Panel (SnAP) ( = 378). SBDP was evaluated for white mold reaction in the field in 2012 and 2013, and SnAP was screened in a greenhouse only using the seedling straw test in 2016. Two reference genomes representing the Andean and Middle American centers of domestication were utilized to align the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data. A GWAS was performed using FarmCPU with one principal component after comparing five models. Thirty-four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with white mold resistance were detected. Eleven significant SNPs were identified by the seedling straw test, and 23 significant SNPs were identified by field data. Fifteen SNPs were identified within a 100 kb window containing pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR)-encoding genes, and eleven were close to leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-encoding genes, suggesting that these two classes are of outsized importance for snap bean resistance to white mold.

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.

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.
