Dynamics of the rice blast fungal population in the field after deployment of an improved rice variety containing known resistance genes by Wang, Wenjuan, Su, Jing, Chen, Kailing, Yang, Jianyuan, Chen, Shen, Wang, Congying, Feng, Aiqing, Wang, Zonghua, Wei, Xiaoyan, Zhu, Xiaoyuan, Lu, Guodong, Zhou, Bo

“…Two major lineages based on rep-PCR analysis were further deduced in the field population, implying that the field population is composed of genetically related isolates. Our data suggest that clonal propagation and quick dominance of virulent isolates against the previously resistant variety could be the major genetic events contributing to the loss of varietal resistance against rice blast in the field.…”

Short-term effects of agricultural practices on the soil structure and hydrodynamic in a deep tilled hardened sandy-silty volcanic–ash soil (cangahua) in Ecuador by Podwojewski, Pascal, Janeau, Jean L.

“…The variation in the aggregate stability seemed to depend on the components inherited from the original volcanic material: in the plots with larger clay content, and with swelling clay minerals, the aggregates were less stable than those composed of isometric fine silt particles. In agreement with the structural stability measured in a laboratory, organic matter inputs increase the soil porosity but had no effect on the structural stability and resistance to crusting, and thus to runoff and to erosion. …”
