Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation High-throughput sequencing detected 86 viruses or viroids in corn, beans, grapes and tomatoes in Mexico.
- Recommendation A nitrogen application rate of 150 to 225 kg ha-1 is best for pepino production.
- Mechanism Nitrogen fertilization elevates pepino productivity by stimulating urease and nitrate reductase activities.
- Intervention effect Incorporating humic acid into PBAT/PLA biodegradable mulch films enriched functional microbial taxa in the radish rhizosphere.
- Method / resource RT-qPCRs targeting cvaC-1 detected the Xylella pathogen early in olive infection, when pathogen levels were very low, better than existing diagnostic tests.
- Observation RT-qPCRs targeting cvaC-1 can differentiate actively growing bacteria from dormant or nonviable bacterial fragments in olive.
- Observation Highly disease-resistant wheat varieties show greater optimization of microbial community functions that enhance disease resistance.
