TL;DR: Results indicate that climate change could alter stages and rates of development of the pathogen, modify host resistance, and result in changes in the physiology of host-pathogen interactions.

TL;DR: This work assesses currently available information, technologies, and resources that were developed originally to ensure plant health but also could be utilized for postintroduction plant pathogen forensics and recommendations for prioritization of efforts and resource expenditures are presented.

TL;DR: Results suggest that glyphosate-tolerant and -nontolerant cultivars respond similarly to infection by F. solani f.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors established quantitative relationships between soil temperature, the matric component of soil water potential (ψ m ), and disease development in controlled conditions and found that soil temperature differentially influenced the development of root symptoms and foliar symptoms, with the former being more severe at low temperatures (15°C) and the latter being most severe at intermediate temperatures (22 to 24°C).

TL;DR: The results suggest that latent infections can serve as a source of inoculum for subsequent fruit rot in peach orchards in Georgia and that the potential for using latent infection incidence as a biological indicator of disease risk at harvest may be limited.
