A review of angular leaf spot resistance in common bean.

Angular leaf spot (ALS), caused by Pseudocer-cospora griseola, is one of the most devastating diseases of common bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL.) in tropical and subtropical production areas. Breeding for ALS resistance is difficult due to the extensive virulence diversity of P. griseolaand the recurrent appearance of new virulent races. Five major loci, Phg-1 to Phg-5, confer-ring ALS resistance have been named, and markers tightly linked to these loci have been reported. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have also been described, but the validation of some QTLs is still pending. The Phg-1, Phg-4, and Phg-5loci are from common bean cultivars of the Andean gene pool, whereas Phg-2 and Phg-3are from beans of the Mesoamerican gene pool. The reference genome of common bean and high-throughput sequencing technologies are enabling the development of molecular markers closely linked to the Phg loci, more accurate mapping of the resistance loci, and the compar-ison of their genomic positions. The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive review of ALS resistance in common bean. Further-more, we are reporting three case studies of ALS resistance breeding in Latin America and Africa. This review will serve as a reference for future resistance mapping studies and as a guide for the selection of resistance loci in breeding programs aiming to develop common bean cultivars with durable ALS resistance

Combination of searches for heavy spin-1 resonances using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A combination of searches for new heavy spin-1 resonances decaying into diferent pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons or quarks, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV collected during 2015–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting quark pairs (qq, bb, tt¯, and tb) or third-generation leptons (τν and τ τ ) are included in this kind of combination for the frst time. A simplifed model predicting a spin-1 heavy vector-boson triplet is used. Cross-section limits are set at the 95% confdence level and are compared with predictions for the benchmark model. These limits are also expressed in terms of constraints on couplings of the heavy vector-boson triplet to quarks, leptons, and the Higgs boson. The complementarity of the various analyses increases the sensitivity to new physics, and the resulting constraints are stronger than those from any individual analysis considered. The data exclude a heavy vector-boson triplet with mass below 5.8 TeV in a weakly coupled scenario, below 4.4 TeV in a strongly coupled scenario, and up to 1.5 TeV in the case of production via vector-boson fusion

Progresso da brusone nas folhas e panículas de genótipos de arroz de terras altas Progress of leaf and panicle blast in upland rice genotypes

Foram avaliados dezesseis genótipos de arroz quanto ao seu nível de resistência parcial à brusone (Pyricularia grisea). A reação dos genótipos à doença foi avaliada durante dois anos, em condições de cultivo de terras altas, no município de Capão Bonito, SP. A severidade da doença nas folhas e panículas foi determinada periodicamente, e os dados foram utilizados para traçar a curva de progresso da doença e cálculo da área sob a curva de progresso da doença para cada genótipo (ASCPD). Os resultados evidenciaram que, considerando os dois anos de avaliação, menores valores de ASCPD foram apresentados nas folhas pelas linhagens IAC 1711, IAC 1774 e IAC 1781 e pelas cultivares BRS Bonança e BRS Liderança; nas panículas, pelas linhagens IAC 1738, IAC 1774 e IAC 1781 e pelas cultivares BRS Bonança, BRS Liderança e Carisma.<br>Partial resistance of sixteen rice genotypes to blast (Pyricularia grisea) was evaluated during two years under upland conditions (Capão Bonito, SP). Blast severity on leaves and panicles was periodically determined and the data were used to obtain the disease progress curve for each genotype and to estimate the area under disease progress curve (AUDPC). Smaller AUDPC values were presented, considering leaf blast, by IAC 1711, IAC 1774 and IAC 1781 lines and BRS Bonança and BRS Liderança cultivars; considering panicle blast, by IAC 1738, IAC 1774 and IAC 1781 lines and BRS Bonança, BRS Liderança and Carisma cultivars
