Microbial succession in casing layer shapes bacterial blotch disease associated communities in cultivated white button mushroom: From casing layer to disease

This study investigates microbial succession in casing layers of white button mushrooms and links it to bacterial blotch disease, showing community restructuring and functional shifts rather than a single pathogen cause.

Phytophthora cinnamomi populations collected from avocado in the United States exhibit high adaptive capacity to climate and disease control methods

This study analyzes 125 Phytophthora cinnamomi isolates from U.S. avocado orchards, revealing phenotypic diversity in growth, fungicide sensitivity, and virulence, highlighting the need for improved disease management strategies.

Nutrient utilization and degradative enzyme activity of the dragon fruit canker pathogen, Neoscytalidium dimidiatum

This study investigates the nutrient utilization and degradative enzyme activity of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, revealing its preference for maltose and complex nitrogen sources, and identifying key enzymes involved in host macromolecule degradation.

Genomic Insights into a Multispecies Bacterial Pathogen Complex Driving Bacterial Blotch in White Button Mushrooms.

This study identifies a multispecies bacterial complex causing bacterial blotch in white button mushrooms, revealing Pseudomonas azotoformans as a prevalent and previously unassociated pathogen.
