Nearly complete genome sequences of the first two identified Colorado potato beetle viruses.

Newly discovered RNA viruses in Colorado potato beetles may present new approaches for pest management, including the possibility of using Leptinotarsa iflavirus 1 to cause lethal disease in the beetles.

Genotype by environment and genotype by yield*trait interactions in sugar beet: analyzing yield stability and determining key traits association.

This study examined the stability of root yield and white sugar yield, as well as the association between key traits in sugar beet genotypes. The results identified specific genotypes that had superior performance and stability in terms of yield and key traits. This information is important for breeding programs aiming to enhance crop production.
