In food preference experiments, larvae preferred young undamaged alfalfa plants over plants that had been damaged by feeding larvae 5 and 7 days earlier, while no difference in feeding preferences could be detected 1, 9, and 14 days after damage, which suggests a peak in the herbivore induced resistance of al falfa approximately one week after initial damage.

A unique genotype of FOV, MDS-12, which was characterized with additional sequencing of the phosphate permease-like protein, β-tubulin, and intergenic spacer regions, was identified in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia.
Survival of Tilletia indica Teliospores in Different Soils.
It is hypothesized that soils, irrespective of weather, affect teliospore longevity, and viability decreased significantly more rapidly in dry soil from Kansas or Maryland than indry soil from Georgia or Arizona, while pure teliOSPores remained unchanged.
