This systematic analysis and quantitative review of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) effectiveness in controlling non-fungal plant pathogens in agricultural and horticultural systems is a subsequent study to one evaluating QACs' efficacy against fungal plant pathogens. Tranilast ic50 To determine the general efficacy of QACs against plant pathogens (bacteria, oomycetes, and viruses), a meta-analysis was conducted on 67 previously published studies. This analysis also sought to identify factors linked to differences in treatment success rates. The application of QACs was found to significantly (p < 0.00001) reduce either disease severity or pathogen viability across all examined studies, with a mean Hedges' g (g+) of 1.75, indicating moderate effectiveness against non-fungal pathogens. The QAC interventions' efficacy was significantly greater against oomycetes (g+ = 420) than against viruses (g+ = 142) and bacteria (g+ = 107), which showed no significant difference in their responses (P = 0.02689). This difference in efficacy across organism types was statistically significant (P = 0.00001). A composite set (BacVir) was established by the aggregation of bacterial and viral types. Tranilast ic50 Treating BacVir with QAC resulted in notable differences in efficacy depending on the subgroups' characteristics, particularly the genus (P = 0.00133), the target material (P = 0.00001), and the unique creation methods of the QAC (P = 0.00281). Oomycete control with QAC intervention resulted in noteworthy differences in efficacy, manifesting predominantly at the level of the genus, supported by a highly significant p-value (p<0.00001). Statistically significant results (P = 0.005) were obtained from five random effects meta-regression models applied to the BacVir composite. Specifically, models considering dose and time, dose and genus, time and genus, dose and target, and time and target accounted for 62%, 61%, 52%, 83%, and 88%, respectively, of the variance in true effect sizes (R²). Significant (P=0.005) RE meta-regression models for oomycetes were identified, including dose and time interactions, dose and genus interactions, and time and genus interactions. These models collectively accounted for 64%, 86%, and 90%, respectively, of the R^2 variation related to g+. QACs, while moderately effective against non-fungal plant pathogens, show variations in their efficacy, largely due to the interplay of the active ingredient's dosage, contact time, organism type, specific genus, target, and the QAC product's generation.

A trailing deciduous shrub, the winter jasmine (Jasminum nudiflorum Lindl.) serves as a popular ornamental plant. Medicinal benefits are derived from the plant's flowers and leaves, effectively addressing inflammatory swellings, purulent eruptions, bruises, and traumatic bleeding, as demonstrated by Takenaka et al. (2002). Symptoms of leaf spot on *J. nudiflorum* were identified at Meiling Scenic Spot (28.78°N, 115.83°E) and Jiangxi Agricultural University (28.75°N, 115.83°E), Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China in October 2022. Following a week-long investigation into the subject matter, the rate of disease could potentially rise up to 25%. Initially, the lesions appeared as small, yellow, circular spots (0.5 to 1.8 centimeters), that subsequently grew into irregular spots (2.8 to 4 centimeters), showing a grayish-white center, a dark brown inner ring, and an outer yellow ring. A study to identify the pathogen involved gathering sixty symptomatic leaves from fifteen different plants. Twelve of these were randomly chosen, cut into 4mm sections, and sterilized using 75% ethanol for 30 seconds, followed by 5% sodium hypochlorite for one minute, rinsed thoroughly four times with sterile water, and then cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 25°C in the dark for 5 to 7 days. Morphologically similar characteristics were observed in six isolated samples. The aerial mycelium displayed a vigorous, downy texture, manifesting in a spectrum of white to grayish-green hues. Catenate or solitary, conidia were characterized by a pale brown coloration and obclavate to cylindrical morphology. Their apices were obtuse, and each conidium displayed from one to eleven pseudosepta. The size range was 249-1257 micrometers in length and 79-129 micrometers in width (n=50). The morphological characteristics matched those characteristic of Corynespora cassiicola (Ellis 1971). For molecular characterization purposes, isolates HJAUP C001 and HJAUP C002 were selected as representative samples for genomic DNA extraction, and subsequently, the ITS, TUB2, and TEF1- genes were amplified using the specific primers ITS4/ITS5 (White et al., 1990), Bt2a/Bt2b (Louise and Donaldson, 1995), and EF1-728F/EF-986R (Carbone and Kohn, 1999), respectively. GenBank accession numbers correspond to these sequenced loci. Analysis of the isolates' sequences, including ITS OP957070, OP957065; TUB2 OP981639, OP981640; and TEF1- OP981637, OP981638, revealed 100%, 99%, and 98% similarity, respectively, to the corresponding sequences of C. cassiicola strains listed in GenBank accession numbers. The items being returned, in order, are OP593304, MW961419, and MW961421. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analyses were implemented in MEGA 7.0 (Kuma et al., 2016) for the combined ITS and TEF1-alpha sequence data. Analysis of isolates HJAUP C001 and HJAUP C002 revealed clustering with four C. cassiicola strains, achieving 99% bootstrap support in the 1000-replicate test. Through the integration of morphology and molecular analysis, the isolates were identified as belonging to the C. cassiicola species. To determine the pathogenicity of the HJAUP C001 strain, six healthy J. nudiflorum plants with wounded leaves were inoculated in a natural setting. Three leaves each from three plants were punctured with needles heated in a flame, then sprayed with a conidial suspension containing 1,106 conidia per milliliter. Simultaneously, three wounded leaves from three further plants were inoculated with 5 mm x 5 mm mycelial plugs. Three leaves were subjected to mock inoculations, sterile water, and PDA plugs, respectively, as control groups. Leaves subjected to all treatments were held at a high relative humidity, 25 degrees Celsius, and a 12-hour photoperiod within a greenhouse environment. One week later, the inoculated leaves displaying wounds manifested the same symptoms as detailed earlier, whereas the control leaves remained uncompromised. Isolates exhibiting grayish-white, vigorous aerial mycelium were reisolated from inoculated and symptomatic leaves. DNA sequencing established these isolates as *C. cassiicola*, thus verifying Koch's postulates. A range of plant species are susceptible to leaf spots caused by *C. cassiicola*, as evidenced by the findings of Tsai et al. (2015), Lu et al. (2019), and Farr and Crossman (2023). This Chinese study, to our knowledge, is the first to report C. cassiicola as a causative agent for leaf spots observed on J. nudiflorum. J. nudiflorum, a plant of considerable economic worth, both medicinally and ornamentally, benefits from this protective finding.

Tennessee features the oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia), an essential plant for ornamental purposes. The appearance of root and crown rot in the cultivars Pee Wee and Queen of Hearts, prompted by late spring frost in May 2018, underscored the critical importance of appropriate disease identification and management strategies. This research project was designed with the dual objectives of identifying the etiological agent of this disease and developing appropriate management strategies to support nursery growers. Tranilast ic50 The fungal morphology of isolates taken from the diseased root and crown regions under microscopic observation matched that of Fusarium. To conduct molecular analysis, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of ribosomal DNA, beta-tubulin (b-Tub), and translation elongation factor 1- (EF-1) were amplified. Fusarium oxysporum was discovered to be the responsible organism through a combination of morphological and molecular analysis. The process of drenching containerized oakleaf hydrangea with a conidial suspension was part of a pathogenicity test designed to complete Koch's postulates. In order to effectively manage Fusarium root and crown rot in container-grown 'Queen of Hearts' plants, different rates of chemical fungicides and biological products were tested in experiments. F. oxysporum conidia, suspended in 150 mL at a concentration of 1106 conidia per milliliter, were used to inoculate containerized oakleaf hydrangea plants by drenching. A standardized 0-100% scale was employed for determining root and crown rot. The recovery of F. oxysporum was observed following the plating of root and crown portions. In both trials, chemical fungicides like mefentrifluconazole (BAS75002F) and difenoconazole + pydiflumetofen (Postiva) at a low dose (109 mL/L), isofetamid (Astun) at a high concentration (132 mL/L), and the biopesticide ningnanmycin (SP2700 WP) (164 g/L) demonstrated significant effectiveness in decreasing Fusarium root rot severity. Pyraclostrobin demonstrated similar success in curbing Fusarium crown rot severity.

The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) stands as a crucial agricultural commodity, both for its cash value and oil content, worldwide. Nearly 50% of peanut plants in the peanut planting base of Xuzhou Academy of Agriculture Sciences, situated in Jiangsu, China, displayed leaf spot symptoms in August 2021. Dark brown spots, round or oval and quite small, initiated symptoms on the leaf. As the area of the spot increased, a transition to gray or light brown took place in the middle of the spot, accompanied by the appearance of a large number of small, black spots. From fifteen plants, situated in three fields approximately one kilometer apart, fifteen leaves displaying the typical symptoms were haphazardly selected. Pieces of leaf tissue, measuring 5 mm by 5 mm, were carefully extracted from the junction of diseased and healthy leaf areas. Subsequently, a 30-second sterilization process using 75% ethanol, followed by another 30-second treatment with 5% sodium hypochlorite was performed. After three rinses in sterile water, the specimens were placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and kept in the dark at 28°C.
