The necrotrophic plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea (Pers., 1794), the causative agent of gray mold disease, causes significant losses in agricultural production. Control this fungal pathogen is quite difficult due to its wide host range and environmental persistence. Currently, management disease still mainly based on chemicals, which can have harmful effects not only environment human health but also because they favor development strains resistant fungicides. flexibility plasticity B. challenging defense mechanisms ability evolve strategies escape chemicals require new control for successful management. In review, some aspects host-pathogen interactions from novel sustainable could be developed (e.g., signaling pathways, molecules involved immune mechanisms, hormones, post-transcriptional gene silencing) were analyzed.

Palm trees (Arecaceae) are among the most popular ornamental plants worldwide. Despite extensive research on fungi associated with Arecaceae, diversity and ecological dynamics of affecting palms remain poorly studied, although they have significant impact palm health economic value. Furthermore, while fungal has traditionally focused tropical assemblages, in temperate climates offer a unique opportunity to explore non-native habitats. The present study conducted preliminary assessment ecology potential phytopathogenic foliar lesions various host species Portugal, combining morphological examination, PCR-based genomic fingerprinting, biodiversity data analysis. examination 134 sampled from 100 resulted collection 2064 leaf spotting (PLSF), representing diverse assemblage 320 molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) across 97 genera. overall community composition revealed distinct dominated by Neosetophoma, Alternaria, Phoma, Cladosporium, profusion infrequent rare taxa consistent logseries distribution. Significantly positive co-occurrence (CO) patterns prevalent uncommon suggest synergistic interactions enhancing colonisation, persistence, pathogenicity. structures PLSF contrasted markedly fungi, especially prevalence pleosporalean coelomycetes Didymellaceae Phaeosphaeriaceae, including recently introduced or not previously documented genera Arecaceae. This novel suggests that climatic constraints shape structure communities, resulting distinctive assemblages. In addition, assemblages varied significantly species, temperate-native hosting more diverse, coelomycete-enriched communities. findings highlight as hyperdiverse microhabitats harbouring communities intricate complex interplay climatic, host, factors. With climate change altering environmental conditions, identification thriving inhabiting these becomes crucial for predicting shifts pathogen mitigating future disease outbreaks.

Incessant development and introduction of novel cultivars with improved floral attributes are vital in the dynamic ornamental industry. Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) is a highly favored plant, ranking second globally cut flower trade, after rose. Development new chrysanthemum innovative modifications attributes, including color, shape, plant architecture, flowering time, enhanced shelf life, biotic abiotic stress tolerance, major goal breeding. Despite being an economically important application conventional molecular breeding approaches to various key traits hindered owing its genomic complexity, heterozygosity, limited gene pool availability. Although classical has resulted several hundreds morphological variations, genetic transcriptional control remains unclear. The coveted blue colored flowers chrysanthemums cannot be achieved through mutation due technical limitations. However, blue-hued been developed by engineering, transgenic successfully employed, leading substantial progress improving traits. recent availability whole-genome sequences offers platform extensively employ MAS identify large number markers for QTL mapping, GWAS dissect complex combination NGS, multi-omic platforms, genome editing technologies provided tremendous scope decipher regulatory mechanisms. integration these remain inadequate chrysanthemum.
