ABSTRACT Colletotrichum spp., hemibiotrophic fungal pathogens, threaten global strawberry production. Jasmonate (JA) regulates plant‐Colletotrichum interactions, but its mechanisms remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that both exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment and elevated endogenous MeJA levels increase strawberry susceptibility to ...

Foliar Sprays to Control Worms in Cabbage, 1993 [PDF]
Abstract Cabbage was transplanted on 23 Jul at the Eastern Shore Agricultural Experiment Station, Painter, VA. Each plot consisted of a 25 ft row, bordered on each side by an untreated guard row, and with 3 ft spacing between rows. Each plot was replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Sprays were applied in 60 gal water/

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion
ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).
