Pathogenicity and genome assembly of a Pythium aphanidermatum isolate causing damping-off in amaranth in controlled environment agriculture
By Thanwanit Thanyasiriwat, Sandy MacDonald, Praphat Kawicha, Aphidech Sangdee| bioRxiv@ AbstractSeveral species of Pythium are destructive soilborne pathogens, causing root rot and damping-off of seedlings and posing significant challenges in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). In this study, four isolates (PT2-1-1, PT2-1-2, PT5, and PT6) were obtained from infected amaranth seedlings and confirmed as P. aphanidermatum through morphology and ITS rDNA sequencing. These isolates dramatically reduced the root length of amaranth seedlings in plate-based pathogenicity assays.
By Sandy MacDonald| TheaterMania.com Verified Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, now at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, is one smart revue, as befits the genius who radically upped Broadway’s game. Old Friends stems from a gala one-night tribute in London in May 2022, the success of which inspired deviser/producer Cameron Macintosh to give it a run in the West End (2023-24), Los Angeles (this past winter), and now where it truly belongs, in New York City.
