Comprehensive Disease Survey of U.S. Sunflower: Disease Trends, Research Priorities and Unanticipated Impacts

Plant Disease
Thomas GulyaSamuel Markell

Abstract

Between 2002 and 2015, a comprehensive survey of sunflower fields across seven Midwestern U.S. states was conducted 12 times and continues to be conducted every other year. The surveyors collected data on yield, agronomic management factors, disease, insect, weed, and bird damage. All surveyors were volunteers and came from universities (extension and research staff), USDA-ARS, and seed and chemical companies. In the 12 years the survey was conducted, data from 2,267 fields were collected. The results are presented annually at the National Sunflower Association Research Forum and are used to set sunflower research priorities. While 10 diseases are surveyed annually, we focus this article on the importance, findings, implications, and impacts of the five most important: downy mildew, Phomopsis stem canker, rust, Rhizopus head rot, and Sclerotinia head rot. This survey is unique among field crops in both scope and scale, and this manuscript discusses salient and clandestine benefits of intense and long-term disease surveys.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
