We reduced the I-3 introgression from 5 to 140 kb through successive recombinant screening and crossing efforts. The reduced I-3 introgression and I-7 were then separately backcrossed into elite Florida breeding lines and evaluated for effects on bacterial spot sensitivity and fruit size across multiple seasons. The reduced I-3 introgression resulted in significantly less bacterial spot and larger fruit size than the large introgression, and it had no effect on these horticultural characteristics compared with Fol3 susceptibility. I-7 was also found to have no effect on these traits compared to Fol3 susceptibility. Together, these efforts support the development of superior Fol3-resistant cultivars and more durable resistance against this pathogen.Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a major congenital cardiac malformation that requires surgical repair in the first few weeks of life. Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is an associated malformation that significantly impacts the complexity of the TA operation. The aim of this study was to (1) define the comorbid conditions associated with TA and (2) determine the hospital survival and morbidity of patients with TA with and without an IAA. Data was collected from the Vizient Clinical Database/Resource Manager, formerly University HealthSystem Consortium, which encompasses more than 160 academic medical centers in the United States. The database was queried for patients admitted from 2002 to 2016 who were ≤ 4 months of age at initial admission, diagnosed with TA, and underwent complete surgical repair during that hospitalization. Of the 645 patients with TA who underwent surgery, 98 (15%) had TA with an interrupted aortic arch (TA-IAA). Both TA and TA-IAA were associated with a high prevalence of comorbidities, including
