Weed Science, 67(2), 229–238.
Contributors: M. Bertucci n, K. Jennings n , D. Monks*, J. Schultheis n, * & D. Jordan n
author keywords: Carlene Chase; University of Florida; Competition; Cucurbitaceae; seed production; vegetable
TL;DR:
While grafting may offer benefits for disease resistance, no benefits regarding weed-competitive ability were observed, and a consistent yield penalty was associated with grafting, even in weed-free treatments.

Pathogenic and genetic relatedness among Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. allii and other pathovars of X-axonopodis
PHYTOPATHOLOGY, 95(8), 918–925.
author keywords: Allium cepa; citrus canker; Citrus aurantifolia; C. paradisi; Xanthomonas campestris pv. allii; X. campestris pv. citri E

Can simultaneous inhibition of seedling growth and stimulation of rhizosphere bacterial populations provide evidence for phytotoxin transfer from plant residues in the bulk soil to the rhizosphere of sensitive species?
JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, 27(4), 807–829.
author keywords: allelopathy; bulk-soil and rhizosphere bacteria; Cucumis sativus; Helianthus annuus; Triticum aestivum; Amaranthus retroflexus; phenolic acid mixtures; chlorogenic acid; phytotoxicity
MeSH headings : Amaranthus / chemistry; Amaranthus / physiology; Bacteria; Cucumis sativus / chemistry; Helianthus / chemistry; Phenols / pharmacology; Plant Development; Plant Extracts / pharmacology; Plant Roots / microbiology; Population Dynamics; Soil Microbiology; Triticum / chemistry; Triticum / physiology
TL;DR:
It was possible to observe simultaneous inhibition of cucumber seedlings and stimulation of phenolic acid utilizing rhizosphere bacteria, and therefore provide indirect evidence of Phenolic acid transfer from plant residues in the soil to the root surface, which may be useful for phytotoxins that are more unique than phenolic acids.

Field control of bacterial spot and bacterial speck of tomato using a plant activator
PLANT DISEASE, 85(5), 481–488.
author keywords: bion; copper hydroxide; induced resistance; Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria; Xanthomonas vesicatoria
TL;DR:
Tomato yield was not affected by using the plant activator in the field when complemented with fungicides to manage foliar fungal diseases, but tomato transplant dry weight was negatively impacted and population densities on greenhouse-grown tomato transplants were reduced by acibenzolar-S-methyl treatment.
