Tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze)] have been widely planted in Guizhou Province in recent years, and the cultivation area in the region ranks first among all the provinces or cities in China. Leaf spot disease was an important disease of tea in Kaiyang county, Guizhou Province, which mainly damaged young leaves and shoot of tea and led to a huge loss of the production of tea. The spots initially represented brown and round, and then the diameter of the spot was 4-6 mm during later period, with the color of the center in the spot changing white. Tea leaf spot disease always occurs in early spring and the region with 1300 m altitude. From 2016 to 2019, disease incidence of leaves was estimated at 84% to 92%, and the disease severity on a plant basis was determined to be 64% to 76%, depending on the field. To identify the causal agent of the foliar disease, pieces of the lesion margins were surface sterilized with 75% ethanol for 30 s, followed by 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 5 min, rinsed with sterile water till be useful for its management and for further research.A field survey conducted on asymptomatic grapevine propagation material from nurseries and symptomatic young grapevines throughout different regions of Algeria yielded a collection of 70 Phaeoacremonium-like isolates and three Cadophora-like isolates. Based on morphology and DNA sequence data of β-tubulin (tub2) and actin (act), five Phaeoacremonium species were identified including Phaeoacremonium minimum (22 isolates), P. venezuelense (19 isolates), P. parasiticum (17 isolates), P. australiense (8 isolates) and P. iranianum (4 isolates). The latter two species (P. australiense and P. iranianum) were reported for the first time in Algeria. Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses (ITS, tub2, tef1) and morphological features, allowed the description of the three isolates belonging to the genus Cadophora (WAMC34, WAMC117 and WAMC118) as a novel species, named Cadophora sabaouae sp. nov. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on grapevine cuttings cv. Cardinal. All the identified species were pathogenic on grapevine cuttings.Quebec is the third largest wine grape producer in Canada in acreage, tonnage, and wine grape sales (Carisse et al. 2017; Ben Moussa et al. 2019). Selleckchem Akt inhibitor To evaluate the diversity of viruses infecting grapevine in Quebec, a total of 77 leaf tissue samples (cv. Vidal) were collected from July to October in 2020 in three different vineyards located in Frelighsburg, Hemmingford and Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur in Quebec, Canada. Double-stranded RNA was extracted from each sample and used for cDNA library preparation with the Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina) as described previously (Kesanakurti et al. 2016). High-throughput sequencing (HTS, 2x300 bp) was conducted on dual-indexed libraries in a v3 flow cell using the Illumina MiSeq platform (Adkar-Purushothama et al. 2020). The obtained raw FASTQ data was de-multiplexed into 154 separate sequence files, and the adapters and barcode sequences were trimmed. The quality of the sequences was verified using Trimmomatic V.0.32 and the "clean" sequences were analyznfected materials, spread, and potential negative impact for the Canadian grapevine industry.Plant-pathogen interactions result in disease development in a susceptible host. Plants actively resist pathogens via a complex immune system comprised of both surface-localized receptors that sense the extracellular space as well as intracellular receptors recognizing pathogen effectors. To date, the majority of cloned resistance genes encode intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptor proteins. Recent discoveries have revealed Tandem Kinase Proteins (TKPs) as another important family of intracellular proteins involved in plant immune responses. Five TKP genes, barley Rpg1 and wheat WTK1 (Yr15), WTK2 (Sr60), WTK3 (Pm24), and WTK4 protect against devastating fungal diseases. Moreover, a large diversity and num
