The fungus Neonectria ditissima causes Fruit Tree Canker on apple and pear. In the past years the disease has become a threat for Swedish and Northern European apple production since devastating outbreaks destroy large numbers of trees. To date, no complete genetic resistance to N. ditissima is known in apple but genotypes (scion cultivars and rootstocks) differ greatly in their level of partial resistance. Furthermore, the degree of susceptibility of a scion cultivar may be influenced by the rootstock it is grafted to. Thus, we aimed to improve our understanding of genetically determined differences in resistance among rootstocks and clarify cultivar/rootstock interactions with regards to canker resistance. For that, we evaluated differences in resistance to fruit tree canker in 24 rootstocks (including two M9 clones). We also evaluated differences in resistance of four most widely grown in Sweden scion cultivars grafted to four common rootstocks differing in vigour. The new knowledge will be useful for growers and breeders to minimize canker damages, prevent loss of the fruit-bearing surface in the orchards, save time and money for the growers.

Monophenols form humic acids (HA) through polycondensation reaction in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, which will inhibit AD process. Currently, metal ions are the option for in-situ relieving HA inhibition during AD, but excess metal ions are harmful to microorganisms. In this study, carbon quantum dots (CQDs, a non-metallic materials) were proposed to relieve HA inhibition in-situ. We investigated the effect of HA on AD acidification and methanation stage, and synthesized CQDs using sodium citrate (s-CQDs) and p-phenylenediamine (p-CQDs) as precursors to relieve the HA inhibition in-situ. Results showed that s-CQDs (3.0 g/L) significantly increased the cumulative CH4 yield from AD of ethanol with 1.0 g/L HA (1.9 times higher than that without s-CQDs). Microbiological analysis indicated the most dominant methanogen was Methanosarcinaceae, with richness of 89.7%. Compared to the HA inhibition system, the relative abundance of Methanosarcinaceae increased by 87.5%. The analysis of interaction mechanism between CQDs and HA indicated that s-CQDs has an in-situ binding effect to HA by reacting with -OH, Cdouble bondC, and -COOH. This study provided a novel means for in-situ relieving HA inhibition, and illustrated the interaction mechanism between CQDs and HA, which will guide the application in production of bioenergy.
