A panoramic view of cotton resistance to Verticillium dahliae: From genetic architectures to precision genomic selection

iMeta, Volume 4, Issue 3, June 2025.
This study identified 10 reliable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing cotton resistance to V. dahliae in various environments through a genome‐wide association analysis (GWAS) using an upland cotton population. The pyramid of these 10 elite alleles reduced the disease index of cotton to V. dahliae from 70 to 20.

Genomic Characterisation of Bidens mottle virus in South Africa and an Assessment of the Impact on Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) in an Open Field Setting

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 1266-1276, June 2025.
RNAseq was used to identify the second natural infection of bidens mottle virus on sunflowers in an open field setting in South Africa and is the first detection of the virus in the country and significantly stunted plant growth and yield. ABSTRACT Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an oilseed crop of global economic importance, and South Africa ranks ...

Effects of 20 Years of Contrasting Tillage on Distribution of Ammonia Oxidisers and Denitrifiers Within Soil Aggregates

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
ABSTRACT Microbial functional groups are heterogeneously distributed between soil aggregate fractions, which is strongly influenced by soil microenvironmental conditions. Intensive tillage practices disrupt soil aggregates, altering microbial niches and potentially affecting nitrogen (N) transformations, including processes leading to nitrous oxide ...
