AB  - Tomato, one of the most produced vegetables in the world, is experiencing continuous
global increase in both production and consumption. Fruit quality traits are important for
fresh market tomatoes as well as for the processing industry. Despite the growing demand
for both fresh and processed tomatoes, consumers are not satisfied with the quality of
available fruits. The main objectives of the present work were to determine the
physicochemical characteristics [pH, total soluble solids (TSS), total titratable acids
(TTA), TSS/TTA ratio, DMC, lycopene, β-carotene, vitamin C, and total phenolic
content], as well as the antioxidant activity of 13 different tomato lines, and to identify the
most promising ones in terms of fruit taste and quality. Antioxidant activity was
determined using the ABTS and DPPH methods with Trolox used as the standard
compound. PCA analysis was conducted to identify group patterns. The results of PCA
analysis indicated a specific genotypic response in all investigated physicochemical traits.
Genotypes 2, 10, and 13 were identified as the best for fresh consumption, as they
exhibited the highest levels of compounds crucial for good taste, nutrition, and human
health benefits. The most promising genotype related to fruit quality attributes was
genotype 10 with the best TSS and TAA content and TSS/TAA ratio, which is important
for overall taste perception. On the other hand, genotype 9 showed promise for industrial
purposes due to its ideal pH value in the juice and good soluble solid content. High
antioxidant activity was characteristic of genotypes 1 and 2, and their consumption as fresh
tomatoes can be beneficial to human health. They also should be considered for further
evaluation as potentially interesting genotypes for abiotic stress research and selection
programs which can lead to the development of both superior fruit quality and stress
tolerant genotypes.

AB  - The aim of our study was to evaluate the use of Raman spectroscopy for pre-diagnostic estimation of weed response to bleaching herbicides. Model plants were Chenopodium album and Abutilon theophrasti treated with mesotrione (120 g a.i. ha−1). Raman single-point measurements were taken 1, 2, 3, and 7 days after herbicide application from different points on the leaves. Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out on data normalized by the highest intensity band at 1522 cm−1 and using spectral region from 950 to 1650 cm−1 comprising mainly contributions of carotenoids. The carotenoids by intensive band at ∼1522 cm−1 and bands with lower intensity at ∼1155 and 1007 cm−1 in treated plants were confirmed. According to PC1 (the first principal component) and PC2 (the second principal component), the highest intensity bands responsible for treatment differentiation in C. album could be assigned to chlorophyll, lignin, and carotenes. According to PC1 in A. theophrasti leaves the treatment differences could be observed 7 days after mesotrione treatment and PC2 gave a clear separation between all control and treated leaf samples. Raman spectroscopy may be a good complement to invasive analytical methods, in assessing the plant abiotic stress induced by bleaching herbicides. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

AB  - During May 2016, severe blight symptoms were observed in several
raspberry and blackberry fields in Serbia. In total, 22 strains were isolated: 16 from symptomatic raspberry shoots, 2 from asymptomatic
raspberry leaves, and 4 from symptomatic blackberry shoots. Additionally,
eight raspberry strains, isolated earlier from two similar outbreaks, were
included in the study. Pathogenicity of the strains was confirmed on
detached raspberry and blackberry shoots by reproducing the symptoms
of natural infection. The strains were Gram-negative, fluorescent on
King’s medium B, ice nucleation positive, and utilized glucose oxidatively. All strains were levan positive, oxidase negative, nonpectolytic,
arginine dihydrolase negative, and induced hypersensitivity in tobacco
leaves (LOPAT + −−− +, Pseudomonas group Ia). Furthermore, all
strains liquefied gelatin and hydrolyzed aesculin but did not show tyrosinase activity or utilize tartrate (GATTa + + − −). Tentative identification using morphology, LOPAT, GATTa, and ice-nucleating ability
tests suggested that isolated strains belong to Pseudomonas syringae.
The syrB gene associated with syringomycin production was detected
in all strains. DNA fingerprints with REP, ERIC, and BOX primers
generated identical profiles for 29 strains, except for strain KBI 222,
which showed a unique genomic fingerprint. In all, 9 of 10 selected
strains exhibited identical sequences of four housekeeping genes: gyrB,
rpoD, gapA, and gltA. Five nucleotide polymorphisms were found in
strain KBI 222 at the rpoD gene locus only. In the phylogenetic tree
based on a concatenated sequence of all four housekeeping genes,
strains clustered within phylogroup 2 (i.e., genomospecies 1) of the
P. syringae species complex, with pathotype strains of P. syringae pv.
aceris and P. syringae pv. solidagae as their closest relatives. There
was no correlation between genotype and geographic origin, particular
outbreak, host, or cultivar.

AB  - Given the importance of different weed management systems (MS) for weed communities and soil seed bank, our aim was to study the impacts of organic (Org) and conventional (Conv) MS in tomato and sugar beet on the abundance of weeds and weed seed bank. The results have shown that in both crops the aboveground weed flora is dominated by 2–3 species in the Conv MS, while it is more diverse in the Org MS. In both crops the soil seed bank is less diverse when compared with the aboveground weed flora. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the weed flora and soil seed bank has shown a high number of different weed seeds in the soil for tomato, unlike sugar beet, where a higher number of weeds was determined in the aboveground weed flora. In tomato, the soil seed bank is more diverse in Org MS (4.1 ± 1.5) than in Conv MS (3.8 ± 1.3), which was also true for the aboveground plant biodiversity (4.6 ± 1.1 vs. 3.6 ± 1.5 species, respectively). Also, although the differences in aboveground weed density and abundance in tomato were not statistically significant, seed bank reserves in the Org MS were significantly more abundant (40.4 ± 16.7 weed seeds vs. 4.5 ± 3.6 in Conv MS). This study has also shown that in sugar beet there were practically no differences between Org and Conv MS, even though the abundance of its aboveground weed flora was higher in Org MS (70.2 ± 29.4 vs. 38.1 ± 21.2 plants/m2 in Conv MS). In conclusion, it can be said that although both MS had similar effects on weed management in tomato, for sugar beet Org MS has proven to be less effective in weed control. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Deutschland, part of Springer Nature.

AB  - The present study provides a new insight into the existing Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) bacterial population originating from peach and apricot in two Western Balkans countries (Serbia and Montenegro). Multilocus sequence typing and analysis of the sequences of nine housekeeping genes revealed homology between the tested Xap strains as well as with the European population of this bacterium. The tested strains share the same haplotype (Haplotype I) with the Xap strains from Italy, France, Spain, United States, Australia and Brazil. The revealed single nucleotide change (G ↔ C) in the sequences of the gyrB1 gene differentiates Haplotype I from Haplotype II (Xap from South Korea, New Zealand, Argentina and Uruguay). The detached-leaf bioassay results confirmed differences in virulence between strains originating from peach and apricot towards Prunus armeniaca (apricot), indicating host specialization of the apricot strain towards this host. For the first time, immunity of P. fruticosa (European ground cherry) to Xap was established. According to the AUDPC, PCA and cluster analysis, other Prunus spp. were classified as having low susceptibility (P. mahaleb, P. cerasus and P. avium), as susceptible (P. domestica) and as highly susceptible (P. persica, P. dulcis, P. cerasifera and P. spinosa). Xap strains were also found to be susceptible to 10 tested antibiotics. This study provides valuable knowledge on the Xap population from stone fruit grown in the Western Balkans region as well as the source of immunity, which could serve as a starting point for breeding Prunus cultivars and could be used as the main control strategy. © 2022 British Society for Plant Pathology.

AB  - In order to have successful breeding, it is necessary to introduce new breeding material constantly and to use it through various types of hybridisation to increase the existing variability. Ten (10) lucerne varieties of different geographic origin were used in the study. Six varieties originated from the Republic of Serbia (Kruševačka 22, Kruševačka 28, NS-Banat ZMS II, NS-Mediana ZMS V, Zaječarska 83 and Čačanka 10), three varieties originated from the Republic of Croatia (Osječka 66, Osječka 88 and Osječka 99) and one variety originated from the Republika Srpska (Banjalučanka). A total of 100 seeds per each of 10 (ten) lucerne varieties were placed in Petri dishes to germinate. The dishes were placed in the seed germination chamber with the altering temperature of 20 oС in the dark for 16 h and 30 oС in the light for 8 h for seven days. The first green leaflets of lucerne seedlings (cotyledons) were used for the DNA extraction. The first and the second axes from the principal coordinates analysis accounted for a total of 63.1% of genetic variation, contained in the original dataset. It is clearly observed that the genotype Zaječarska 83 is genetically most distant from other studied lucerne genotypes. These studies confirmed that the observed collection of lucerne varieties is variable enough for the successful breeding process. Using an appropriate breeding model it is possible to breed varieties for certain purposes.

AB  - Herbicide application has long been considered the most efficient weed control method in agricultural production worldwide. However, long-term use of agrochemicals has numerous negative effects on crops and the environment. Bearing in mind these negative impacts, the EU strategy for withdrawing many herbicides from use, and modern market demands for the production of healthy and safe food, there is a need for developing new effective, sustainable, and ecological weed control measures. To bring a fresh perspective on this topic, this paper aims to describe the most important non-chemical weed control strategies, including ecological integrated weed management (EIWM), limiting weed seed bank, site-specific weed management, mechanical weeding, mulching, crop competitiveness, intercropping, subsidiary crops, green manure, and bioherbicides.

AB  - Acidovorax citrulli, the causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch (BFB), is an economically important pathogen of watermelon and related plant species worldwide. In the period 2014–2018, several outbreaks of BFB were observed in major watermelon production regions in Serbia. A total of 43 strains, isolated from symptomatic watermelon tissue, were analyzed by biochemical, pathogenic and molecular tests. Based on the phenotypic characteristics, PCR assay, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, all strains were identified as A. citrulli. A multilocus sequence analysis of the four housekeeping (adk, gyrB, pilT and gltA) and three virulence genes (Aave_1548, avrRx01 and luxR) revealed that studied A. citrulli strains represent the homogeneous population and they clustered together with group II reference strain AAC00-1. Strain affiliation to group II was confirmed by PCR based on the putative type III secretion effector gene and by duplex PCR test. High homogeneity of studied strains was also confirmed by BOX-PCR. Differences were observed for two strains in their pathogenicity as well as susceptibility to copper compounds. Moreover, six major watermelon varieties grown in Serbia showed high sensitivity to the pathogen, while cross inoculation assay revealed that the strains were able to infect other species within the Cucurbitaceae family.

AB  - Bacterial fruit blotch and seedling blight, caused by Acidovorax citrulli, is one of the most destructive diseases of melon and watermelon in many countries. Pathogen-free seed and cultural practices are major pillars of the disease control. However, use of bacteriophages as natural biocontrol agents might also contribute to the disease management. Therefore, we isolated 12 bacteriophages specific to A. citrulli, from phyllosphere and rhizosphere of diseased watermelon plants. The phage strains were characterized based on their host range, plaque and virion morphology, thermal inactivation point, adsorption rate, one step growth curve, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and genomic analysis. Transmission electron microscopy of three phage strains indicated that they belong to the order Caudovirales, family Siphoviridae. All phages lysed 30 out of 32 tested A. citrulli strains isolated in Serbia, and did not lyse other less related bacterial species. They produced clear plaques, 2 mm in diameter, on bacterial lawns of different A. citrulli strains after 24 h of incubation. The thermal inactivation point was 66 or 67°C. They were stable at pH 5–9, but were sensitive to chloroform and inactivated in either 5 or 10 min exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. RFLP analysis using EcoRI, BsmI and BamHI enzymes did not show genetic differences among the tested phages. Adsorption rate and one step growth curve were determined for the Acidovorax phage ACF1. Draft genome sequence of the ACF1 phage was 59.377 bp in size, with guanine-cytosine (GC) content 64.5%, including 89 open reading frames. This phage shared a very high genomic identity with Acidovorax phage ACPWH, isolated in South Korea. Evaluation of systemic nature of ACF1 strain showed that it can be absorbed by roots and translocated to upper parts of watermelon plants where it survived up to 10 days.

AB  - A new species of eriophyoid mite, Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., was discovered on cheatgrass, Anisantha tectorum (L.) Nevski (syn. Bromus tectorum L.), an annual grass that is native to Eurasia and Northern Africa. This grass was introduced to North America near the end of the 19th century and now is widespread and associated with the observed increases in the size, frequency, and intensity of wildfires in western N. America. In this paper, A. marcelli sp. nov., is morphologically described and illustrated. Compared with other Aculodes spp., it differs based on morphology and the sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene, subunit I (MT-CO1). Results of morphometric analysis showed clear differentiation between A. marcelli sp. nov., and the most similar congener, A. altamurgiensis from Taeniatherum caput-medusae. Analysis of MT-CO1 sequence divergence revealed significant levels of genetic variation (17.7%) and supported the results from the morphometric analysis; therefore, it is determined that they are two different species. Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., is a new candidate agent for classical biological control of A. tectorum. © 2022 by the authors.

Analysis of MT-CO1 sequence divergence revealed significant levels of genetic variation (17.7%) and supported the results from the morphometric analysis; therefore, it is determined that they are two different species. Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., is a new candidate agent for classical biological control of A. tectorum. © 2022 by the authors.",

AB  - Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is characterized by specific temperature requirements and develops best at about 20°C. High temperatures during the growing season cause an array of changes in potato plants, which affect its development and may lead to a drastic reduction in economic yield. Under natural conditions, drought and heat stress are two different types of abiotic stresses that occur in the field simultaneously or separately, especially in conditions without irrigation in potato production. This study aimed to examine the productivity of nine potato varieties in agro-ecological conditions of western Serbia and to find the genotypes that will give satisfactory and high yields. The field experiment was carried out with varieties: Cleopatra, Anuschka, Presto, Kuroda, Omega, Dita, Desiree, Roko and Jelly. The impact year and genotype on potato plants were tested during a four-year period (2010-2013). The final harvest was performed after the full maturity of plants in September. Our studies confirmed that potato marketable yield and total yield are greatly reduced at temperatures higher than optimal and deficit precipitation during the growing season. Here we demonstrated that the tested potato cultivar’s response to heat stress and drought in the growing season is dependent on the longer the adverse effects and the growth stage. The earlier a heat and drought occurs, the more negative the impact on the growth and productive traits of potatoes. The results obtained in this study indicate that among the tested cultivars Cleopatra was the most tolerant to heat and drought stress acting on the plants during the growing season. Our research shows that the total yield was not the only indicator of potato tolerance to abiotic stress during the growing season, but the assessment should also take into account the occurrence of secondary tuberization and physiological defects of tubers. These studies confirm that Cleopatra had the largest share (82%) of market tubers in relation to the total yield and to have the best predisposition for the highest economic yield of tubers. Our experiment showed that heat and drought tolerant potato cultivars could be used to mitigate the effects of global warming in Serbia and wider Western Balkans regions. © 2022,Genetika.All Rights Reserved

AB  - Recent reports of the presence of Ambrosia trifida (AT) in areas infested by A. artemisiifolia (AA) in Serbia warn of the impending establishment of a more damaging crop weed. Here, we test the potential competitive effects of these two weed species. We conducted a field competition study in 2016 and 2017 as a replacement series experiment arranged in a split plot, with main plots (20.5 m × 2 m) at total plant densities of 10 and 100 plants/m2, and sub-plots (3 m × 2 m) at the proportion of AT to AA of 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100. Individual plant biomass (IPB) for AT was lowest when grown in monoculture, while AA reached its highest IPB in its monoculture. With AT < 40%, the AT IPB was larger than (2017) or the same as AA (2016). With AT > 40%, its IPB decreased due to increased intraspecific competition. We obtained the lowest sub-plot biomass (SPB) of AT + AA in mixtures with 40:60 and 60:40 ratios, and also the highest SPB of other weed species. We show that despite a larger leaf area, AT may not fully replace AA and thus not become a new threat to crops, as it not only suffers from intraspecific competition at high densities, but also from interspecific competition with AA. Therefore, crops may benefit from a stable coexistence of both species as compared to highly dominant AT or AA. Further studies in the presence of crops are needed to confirm this hypothesis.

AB  - Xanthomonads, members of the family Xanthomonadaceae, are economically important plant pathogenic bacteria responsible for infections of over 400 plant species. Bacteriophage-based biopesticides can provide an environmentally friendly, effective solution to control these bacteria. Bacteriophage-based biocontrol has important advantages over chemical pesticides, and treatment with these biopesticides is a minor intervention into the microflora. However, bacteriophages’ agricultural application has limitations rooted in these viruses’ biological properties as active sub-stances. These disadvantageous features, together with the complicated registration process of bacteriophage-based biopesticides, means that there are few products available on the market. This review summarizes our knowledge of the Xanthomonas-host plant and bacteriophage-host bacterium interaction’s possible influence on bacteriophage-based biocontrol strategies and provides examples of greenhouse and field trials and products readily available in the EU and the USA.

abstract = "Xanthomonads, members of the family Xanthomonadaceae, are economically important plant pathogenic bacteria responsible for infections of over 400 plant species. Bacteriophage-based biopesticides can provide an environmentally friendly, effective solution to control these bacteria. Bacteriophage-based biocontrol has important advantages over chemical pesticides, and treatment with these biopesticides is a minor intervention into the microflora. However, bacteriophages’ agricultural application has limitations rooted in these viruses’ biological properties as active sub-stances. These disadvantageous features, together with the complicated registration process of bacteriophage-based biopesticides, means that there are few products available on the market. This review summarizes our knowledge of the Xanthomonas-host plant and bacteriophage-host bacterium interaction’s possible influence on bacteriophage-based biocontrol strategies and provides examples of greenhouse and field trials and products readily available in the EU and the USA. It also details the most important advantages and limitations of the agricultural application of bacteriophages. This paper also investigates the legal background and industrial property right issues of bacteriophage-based biopesticides. When appropriately applied, bacteriophages can provide a promising tool against xanthomonads, a possibility that is untapped.
