The soil-borne pathogen Verticillium dahliae, also referred as "The Cotton Cancer," is responsible for causing Verticillium wilt in cotton crops, a destructive disease with a global impact. To infect cotton plants, the pathogen employs multiple virulence mechanisms such as releasing enzymes that degrade cell walls, activating genes that contribute to virulence, and using protein effectors. Conversely, cotton plants have developed numerous defense mechanisms to combat the impact of V.

A cross sectional and randomized controlled trial study was conducted starting from July 2021 to July 2022 to determine the prevalence of ixodid ticks, and evaluate the efficacy of commonly used acaricides (amitraz 12.5% and diazinon 60%) in vitro and in vivo on cattle ticks in Amibara district. A total of 372 cattle were visited randomly from six kebeles of the district which were selected based on their livestock population.

Article Synopsis
- Gastrointestinal parasites significantly threaten camel production in Ethiopia, with a cross-sectional study revealing a 76% prevalence among camels in the Afar Region.
- The study found mixed infections prevalent among the parasites, with nematodes, trematodes, protozoa, and cestodes being the most common, and identified age and region as key risk factors.
- Recommendations include raising awareness among camel owners about parasite control, treating infected camels with effective medications, and implementing routine deworming and better husbandry practices.

Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 408 soybean germplasms from various countries and found significant differences in carotenoid and chlorophyll content influenced by factors like genotype, seed coat color, and maturity group (MG).
- * Results showed Russian soybeans had higher levels of carotenoids and chlorophylls, particularly with black seed coats, while late MG soybeans tended to have lower concentrations, indicating that these factors are crucial for breeding nutrient-dense soybean varieties.

Article Synopsis
- - Tocopherols, natural antioxidants, enhance the stability of fatty foods and have health benefits, and a study assessed their levels in 493 soybean accessions from China, the USA, Japan, and Russia grown over two years.
- - Significant differences were found in tocopherol content among origins, with US accessions showing the highest γ- and total tocopherol levels, and Russian accessions having more α-tocopherol; maturity groups also affected tocopherol types.
- - The study indicates that early-maturing soybeans typically have higher α-, γ-, and total tocopherol levels, while late-maturing types have more δ-tocopherol, highlighting the importance of maturity in breeding for enhanced tocopher
