Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The interactions between the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum and potato Solanum tuberosum plants were studied to investigate the reactive oxygen species metabolic system and ascorbate (ASC)-glutathione (GSH) redox cycle in response to compost application. Single potato eyepieces were germinated and grown in pots containing sandy soil with or without compost at a rate of 7.5 g kg soil. Non-compost- and compost-treated plants (CTP) were inoculated with R. solanacearum 25 days after planting and then analyzed after 10 days, unless otherwise stated. The present results revealed that pathogen infection caused a remarkable decrease in plant growth related parameters and productivity and an increase in disease incidence. However, under these conditions compost had substantially improved plant growth and decreased disease incidence and bacterial population. R. solanacearum resulted in significant enhancement in the activities of NADPH oxidase, lipoxygenase, the production rate of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, levels of hydrogen peroxide, membrane lipid peroxidation, and protein oxidation indicating the induction of oxidative stress in potato roots. However, the pathogen-mediated enhancement in indices of oxidative stress was considerably decreased by compost application, which enhanced the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR, EC 1.6.5.4), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1) and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) in infected potato plants, implying a better ROS-scavenging activity. Data also indicated that there were general increases in ASC and GSH content in infected compost treated plants, but non-compost treated ones significantly had lower levels of such redox metabolites. In addition, significantly higher ratios of ASC/DHA (dehydroascorbate) and GSH/GSSG (glutathione disulphide) were generally found in CTP than in non-compost treated-ones. The obtained results suggest that compost provides effective protection against the Ralstonia bacterial pathogen via up-regulation of the capacity of the ASC-GSH cycle and modulation of the cellular redox status, thereby eliminating ROS damage and sustaining membrane stability. © 2013 KNPV.
