Draft genome sequences for four isolates of the hemp (Cannabis sativa) fungal pathogen Neofusicoccum parvum

Scientists sequenced the complete genomes of four samples of a fungal disease that infects hemp plants. This fungus, called Neofusicoccum parvum, causes dying branches and damage to hemp crops. By mapping out the genetic code of these fungal samples, researchers now have important tools to better understand how this pathogen works and potentially develop strategies to protect hemp plants.

Native Bacteria Are Effective Biocontrol Agents at a Wide Range of Temperatures of Neofusicoccum parvum, Associated with Botryosphaeria Dieback on Grapevine

Scientists discovered that native bacteria from Chile, particularly Pseudomonas strains, can effectively control a serious fungus that damages grapevines. These bacteria work across a range of temperatures and successfully reduced fungal growth both in laboratory tests and in actual vineyards. This discovery offers a natural, environmentally-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides for protecting grape crops.
