AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the yeast diversity and community structure in the soil of peach orchards in the Shihezi Reclamation Area, aiming to understand the impact of spatial and temporal factors on these microbial communities.* -
- Researchers discovered 114 yeast genera across soil samples, finding that overall diversity between non-rhizosphere and rhizosphere soils was not significantly different, though community structure varied more over time than across different locations.* -
- Key factors influencing yeast community structure included soil pH and organic matter, with older peach orchards exhibiting a stronger and more complex yeast co-occurrence network compared to younger ones.*
Article Abstract
Shihezi Reclamation Area is located at the southern edge of the Junggar Basin, with natural, soil, and climatic conditions unique to the production of peaches. In turn, peach orchards have accumulated rich microbial resources. As an important taxon of soil fungi, the diversity and community structure changes of yeast in the soil of peach orchards on spatial and temporal scales are still unknown. Here, we aimed to investigate the changes in yeast diversity and community structure in non-rhizosphere and rhizosphere soils of peach trees of different ages in the peach orchard and the factors affecting them, as well as the changes in the yeast co-occurrence network in the peach orchard at spatial and temporal scales. High-through put sequencing results showed that a total of 114 yeast genera were detected in all soil samples, belonging to Ascomycota (60 genera) and Basidiomycota (54 genera). The most dominant genus, , was present in greater than 10% abundance in each sample. Overall, the differences in yeast diversity between non-rhizosphere and rhizosphere soil of peach trees at 3, 8 and 15 years were not significant. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) showed that differences in yeast community structure were more pronounced at the temporal scale compared to the spatial scale. The results of soil physical and chemical analysis showed that the 15-year-old peach rhizosphere soil had the lowest pH, while the OM, TN, and TP contents increased significantly. Redundancy analysis showed that soil pH and CO were key factors contributing to changes in soil yeast community structure in the peach orchard at both spatial and temporal scales. The results of co-occurrence network analysis showed that the peach orchard soil yeast network showed synergistic effects as a whole, and the degree of interactions and connection tightness of the 15-year-old peach orchard soil yeast network were significantly higher than the 3- and 8-year-old ones on the time scale. The results reveal the distribution pattern and mechanism of action of yeast communities in peach orchard soils, which can help to develop effective soil management strategies and improve the stability of soil microecology, thus promoting crop growth.

Distribution of propiconazole-resistant in peach orchards with or without cull fruit amendments.

Clemson, United States;
Resistance to propiconazole in G. candidum was reported previously in isolates collected from peaches after cold storage, but the origin of resistance was unclear. If resistance had been generated and selected in the packinghouse with postharvest propiconazole drenches, we would expect to find resistance in the sour rot pathogen only in orchards that had received cull fruit returned to the orchard floor from the packinghouse.

Article Synopsis
- The fruit fly demonstrates adaptability through trade-offs in its life history traits, allowing it to thrive on different fruit hosts like peach, plum, and fig in arid conditions.
- Research found that the choice of host affects various traits, including pupal abundance, sex ratio, and physical measurements such as weight and wingspan.
- Males reared on figs showed earlier sexual maturity, emphasizing the importance of understanding these interactions for effective management of local orchards and fruit plantations.

Geotrichum candidum Link (1809) is a yeast-like fungus that causes sour rot of peach (Prunus persica). Outbreaks of the disease have occurred since 2021 in peach fruit kept in cold storage despite post-harvest treatments with propiconazole at a commercial farm in South Carolina (SC). A total of 58 isolates, 40 from symptomatic fruit from cold storage in Saluda County (SC packing house isolates), 11 from three SC orchards in Saluda County, Spartanburg County, and Pickens County (SC non-packing house isolates), and 7 California (CA) isolates (at least 3 from packing houses) were evaluated for propiconazole sensitivity.

Article Synopsis
- Commercial orchards often have mixed species that can be affected by various viruses, with pollen being a significant pathway for virus transmission.
- Metagenomics approaches were used to analyze pollen and bee samples during the blooming season of apricot, cherry, peach, and apple trees, resulting in the detection of 21 unique viruses, including notable ones like prune dwarf virus and prunus necrotic ringspot virus.
- The study revealed a higher complexity of viruses in pollen samples compared to vegetative tissues, highlighting the importance of monitoring pollination ecosystems for better understanding of viral diversity.

Article Synopsis
- California produces nearly all U.S. prunes, contributing significantly to the global market, with over 50% of new plantings using the Krymsk 86 rootstock due to its beneficial traits.
- In spring 2023, 'Improved French' prune trees in Northern California showed signs of decline, with about 3.6% to 4.6% of trees affected based on rootstock type.
- Investigation revealed the presence of prune brown line (PBL) disease caused by tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV), confirming infection through RNA testing from various tree samples.
