Wheat streak mosaic, High plains disease, and Triticum mosaic are part of a virus disease complex found in most wheat growing regions of the U.S. and into Canada. This disease complex can cause major losses in spring and winter wheat.
Some virus-resistant wheat varieties exist. Manage volunteer plants serving as hosts to the wheat curl mite, which vectors the viruses. Create a two-week gap of host tissue availability (i.e., between wheat harvest and wheat emergence in the fall) to reduce mites. Avoid early fall planting of winter wheat and late planting of spring wheat for areas and seasons with high virus incidence. No acaricides are registered for wheat curl mites and insecticides are ineffective.

Late season tomatoes showing fruit cracking. Often observed after wide fluctuations in soil moisture, often after a heavy rain or after a dry period. These conditions can cause fruit to expand too quickly for the skin to keep up, leading to cracks in the fruit #Tomato #Gardening

It is time to focus on fruit, orchard, & vineyard sanitation. Good sanitation practices can reduce disease-causing pathogens. Elimination of pathogens reduces the need for fungicides & can improve the effectiveness of disease management practices. buff.ly/HSXAaSX

Anthracnose is a common fungal problem on red peppers w/t long ripening times. Sunken lesions form on fruit that b/c brown then black, often w/t pink -colored spores visible on the spots. Crop rotation, choosing early ripening varieties & fungicides are control options #Fungi

Sooty blotch is a fungal disease of apple. The pathogen causes dark sooty smudges on the skin. It is mainly a cosmetic issue, as it doesn’t penetrate the fruit's flesh, but it can impact marketability. Sooty blotch is favored by humid wet conditions #Fungi #Pear #PlantDisease

There are five major mycotoxins associated with ear rots. Toxic effects vary by type, concentration, exposure, and animal species.
If a field has kernel or ear rot problems (10%+ of ears are moldy), test for mycotoxins.

Southern corn rust produces pustules that rupture the outer leaf tissue. Pustules contain masses of rust colored spores. Most pustules develop on the upper leaf surface. In severe cases, pustules may also develop on stalks, husks @ leaf sheaths #CropProtection #Corn #Rust

This study is wild!
The GWAS was conducted under field conditions without controlling for pathogen load, and the so-called “broad-spectrum” resistance once again refers only to a few local isolates. The host-induced silencing they report also seems impossible to reproduce…
I’m planning to test that mutant against our clubroot collection from 24 countries, it would make a great project for a master’s student.
It’s also strange that almost a year ago, a group from SK reported the same gene, but their paper has been stuck under review forever. Interesting timing for this one to come out. They even share a co-author.

Our research helps to unlock key traits such as malting quality, drought tolerance, and yield. This translates directly to support barley use in malting and brewing industries. We'll raise a glass to that 🍻
