Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction Breeding genetic resistance to economically important crop diseases is the most sustainable strategy for disease management and enhancing agricultural and horticultural productivity, particularly where the application of synthetic pesticides is prohibited. Powdery mildew disease, caused by the biotrophic fungal pathogen Golovinomyces ambrosiae , is one of the most prevalent threats to the cannabis and hemp industry worldwide. Methods In this study, we used bulked-segregant analysis combined with high-throughput RNA sequencing (BSRSeq) to identify and map a novel single dominant resistance (R) locus (designated PM2), that strongly suppresses powdery mildew infection and sporulation in Cannabis sativa . Results and discussion BSA mapped PM2 to chromosome 9. Histochemical analysis revealed that PM2-induced resistance is mediated by a highly localized hypersensitive response mainly in the epidermal cells of the host. Importantly, genetic markers capable of tracking PM2 resistance in breeding populations were developed using associated SNPs identified in this study. The ability to track PM2 will allow for successful introgression of PM resistance into elite cannabis cultivars and help move towards a more sustainable cannabis industry.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
