Tomato black ring virus (TBRV) is a member of the genus in the family, which infects a wide range of important crop species worldwide. In this work, we constructed four cDNA infectious clones of the TBRV tagged with the green fluorescent protein (TBRV-GFP), which varied in (i) the length of the sequences flanking the GFP insert, (ii) the position of the GFP insert within the RNA2 polyprotein, and (iii) the addition of a self-cutting 2A protein. The presence of the GFP coding sequence in infected plants was verified by RT-PCR, while the infectivity and stability of the constructs were verified by mechanical inoculation of the host plants. The systemic spread of TBRV-GFP within plants was observed under UV light at a macroscopic level, monitoring GFP-derived fluorescence in leaves, and at a microscopic level using confocal microscopy. The obtained clones are a valuable tool for future studies of TBRV-host interactions, virus biology, and the long-term monitoring of its distribution in infected plants.

L. (Aizoaceae), commonly known as desert horse purslane or black pigweed, is a C4 dicot succulent invasive annual plant that is widespread in agricultural fields in Southeast Asia, tropical America, Africa, and Australia. In Israel, is an invasive weed of increasing importance in agricultural fields, including mainly corn, tomato, alfalfa watermelon, and groundnut crops.

To address the environmental hazards of electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) accumulation and the urgent need for ecological restoration in mining areas, we developed an innovative method for creating pit restoration materials (S-EMRs) using alkaline-excited EMR via mechanical ball milling. Black liquid (BL) was used as a base exciter and EMR as the precursor. With a BL dosage of 35 %, alumina as the milling medium, a speed of 500 rpm, and milling for 20-35 min, we achieved an S-EMR compressive strength of approximately 30 MPa after 14 d-six times higher than that in conventional cement curing (C-EMR).

The use of insects in organic management systems is expanding due to their ability to recycle waste into valuable co-products for agriculture, notably frass, constituted by the insect's excrements, larval exuviae, and remaining undigested feedstock. This study aimed to assess the effects of different application rates of frass (0.16, 0.

Article Synopsis
- Potato black scurf and tobacco target spot are caused by AG-3, which consists of three subgroups (PT, TM, and TB) that correspond to their host plants: potato, tomato, and tobacco.
- A study analyzed 129 tobacco and 80 potato AG-3 isolates from various regions in China, finding that potato isolates belonged to the PT subgroup, while tobacco isolates were classified into TM and TB subgroups.
- The research highlighted genetic variations among these subgroups, differences in their biological characteristics and pathogenicity, and noted that AG-3 PT showed the most somatic incompatibility, with distinct differences observed in colony color and morphology.

Article Synopsis
- Defective viral genomes (DVGs) arise from replication errors in viral genomes, leading to mutations that prevent them from infecting on their own without a helper virus.* -
- In experiments with the tomato black ring virus (TBRV), researchers observed how DVGs formed when the virus was passed through different host plants, indicating that host diversity influenced DVG production.* -
- The study found that deletions were the most common mutations in DVGs from TBRV, with diversity in the DVG population varying based on the host species used during the passage process.*
