Abstract
Potato (Solanum tuberosum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) crops suffer severe losses to late blight caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Solanum americanum, a relative of potato and tomato, is globally distributed and most accessions are highly blight resistant. We generated high-quality reference genomes of four S. americanum accessions, resequenced 52 accessions, and defined a pan-NLRome of S. americanum immune receptor genes. We further screened for variation in recognition of 315P. infestans RXLR effectors in 52 S. americanum accessions. Using these genomic and phenotypic data, we cloned three NLR-encoding genes, Rpi-amr4, R02860 and R04373, that recognize cognate P. infestans RXLR effectors PITG_22825 (AVRamr4), PITG_02860 and PITG_04373. These genomic resources and methodologies will support efforts to engineer potatoes with durable late blight resistance and can be applied to diseases of other crops.

Abstract
The oomycete Albugo candida causes white blister rust, an important disease of Brassica crops. Distinct races of A. candida are defined by their capacity to infect different host plant species. Each A. candida race encodes secreted proteins with a CX2 CX5 G ('CCG') motif that are polymorphic and show presence/absence variation, and are therefore candidate effectors. The White Rust Resistance 4 (WRR4) locus in Arabidopsis thaliana accession Col-0 contains three genes that encode intracellular nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat immune receptors. The Col-0 alleles of WRR4A and WRR4B confer resistance to multiple A. candida races, although both WRR4A and WRR4B can be overcome by the Col-0-virulent race 4 isolate AcEx1. Comparison of CCG candidate effectors in avirulent and virulent races, and transient co-expression of CCG effectors from four A. candida races in Nicotiana sp. or A. thaliana, revealed CCG effectors that trigger WRR4A- or WRR4B-dependent hypersensitive responses. We found eight WRR4A-recognised CCGs and four WRR4B-recognised CCGs, the first recognised proteins from A. candida for which the cognate immune receptors in A. thaliana are known. This multiple recognition capacity potentially explains the broad-spectrum resistance to several A. candida races conferred by WRR4 paralogues. We further show that of five tested CCGs, three confer enhanced disease susceptibility when expressed in planta, consistent with A. candida CCG proteins being effectors.

Abstract
Albugo candida is an obligate oomycete pathogen that infects many plants in the Brassicaceae family. We resequenced the genome of isolate Ac2V using PacBio long reads and constructed an assembly augmented by Illumina reads. The Ac2VPB genome assembly is 10% larger and more contiguous compared with a previous version. Our annotation of the new assembly, aided by RNA-sequencing information, revealed a 175% expansion (40 to 110) in the CHxC effector class, which we redefined as "CCG" based on motif analysis. This class of effectors consist of arrays of phylogenetically related paralogs residing in gene sparse regions, and shows signatures of positive selection and presence/absence polymorphism. This work provides a resource that allows the dissection of the genomic components underlying A. candida adaptation and, particularly, the role of CCG effectors in virulence and avirulence on different hosts.[Formula: see text] Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).

Abstract
The oomycete Albugo candida causes white rust of Brassicaceae, including vegetable and oilseed crops, and wild relatives such as Arabidopsis thaliana. Novel White Rust Resistance (WRR) genes from Arabidopsis enable new insights into plant/parasite co-evolution. WRR4A from Arabidopsis accession Columbia (Col-0) provides resistance to many but not all white rust races, and encodes a nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat immune receptor. Col-0 WRR4A resistance is broken by AcEx1, an isolate of A. candida. We identified an allele of WRR4A in Arabidopsis accession Øystese-0 (Oy-0) and other accessions that confers full resistance to AcEx1. WRR4AOy-0 carries a C-terminal extension required for recognition of AcEx1, but reduces recognition of several effectors recognized by the WRR4ACol-0 allele. WRR4AOy-0 confers full resistance to AcEx1 when expressed in the oilseed crop Camelina sativa.

Abstract
Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans greatly constrains potato production. Many Resistance (R) genes were cloned from wild Solanum species and/or introduced into potato cultivars by breeding. However, individual R genes have been overcome by P. infestans evolution; durable resistance remains elusive. We positionally cloned a new R gene, Rpi-amr1, from Solanum americanum, that encodes an NRC helper-dependent CC-NLR protein. Rpi-amr1 confers resistance in potato to all 19 P. infestans isolates tested. Using association genomics and long-read RenSeq, we defined eight additional Rpi-amr1 alleles from different S. americanum and related species. Despite only ~90% identity between Rpi-amr1 proteins, all confer late blight resistance but differentially recognize Avramr1 orthologues and paralogues. We propose that Rpi-amr1 gene family diversity assists detection of diverse paralogues and alleles of the recognized effector, facilitating durable resistance against P. infestans.

Abstract
Potato late blight, caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans, significantly hampers potato production. Recently, a new Resistance to Phytophthora infestans (Rpi) gene, Rpi-amr1, was cloned from a wild Solanum species, Solanum americanum. Identification of the corresponding recognized effector (Avirulence or Avr) genes from P. infestans is key to elucidating their naturally occurring sequence variation, which in turn informs the potential durability of the cognate late blight resistance. To identify the P. infestans effector recognized by Rpi-amr1, we screened available RXLR effector libraries and used long read and cDNA pathogen-enrichment sequencing (PenSeq) on four P. infestans isolates to explore the untested effectors. Using single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) and cDNA PenSeq, we identified 47 highly expressed effectors from P. infestans, including PITG_07569, which triggers a highly specific cell death response when transiently coexpressed with Rpi-amr1 in Nicotiana benthamiana, suggesting that PITG_07569 is Avramr1. Here we demonstrate that long read and cDNA PenSeq enables the identification of full-length RXLR effector families and their expression profile. This study has revealed key insights into the evolution and polymorphism of a complex RXLR effector family that is associated with the recognition by Rpi-amr1.

Abstract
Lymphadenopathy is an uncommon finding in hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). We report 12 HCL patients in whom relapse was associated with massive abdominal lymphadenopathy. All but one had long-standing HCL (range 3-25 years; median 10 years); in one it was discovered at presentation. Nine patients had been splenectomized and seven had previously been treated with 2'deoxycoformycin (DCF) and/or alpha-interferon (alpha IFN): three had achieved complete remission and four a partial response. The computerized tomography (CT) scan appearances were similar in all cases with a primary lymph node mass centred around the coeliac axis and involving upper para-aortic and retropancreatic regions. Histology and/or cytology confirmed nodal involvement by HCL in six patients. Large immature hairy cells were seen in both lymph nodes and bone marrow, suggesting a degree of transformation. Nine patients were treated with DCF: one had complete resolution, six responded with 50-90% reduction of the lymphadenopathy, one did not respond and one is still on treatment; alpha-IFN was used concomitantly or sequentially in two of the responders. One responding patient died of sepsis after four injections of DCF. Three patients received either alpha- or beta-IFN alone with no response. One elderly patient was not treated. Abdominal lymphadenopathy could be part of the natural history of HCL and/or may represent a transformation analogous to that seen in other low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders. Routine abdominal CT scanning should be part of the work up of all patients with HCL.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma is a low grade malignancy characterized by the translocation t(14;18), which involves the putative oncogene bcl-2. We describe a 73-year-old patient presenting with Burkitt acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) L3 (Burkitt type), whose cells had the following immunophenotype: CD19+, CD22+, HLA-DR+, CD10+, TdT-, Cyt IgM-, CD34-. Analysis of 25 peripheral blood metaphases showed the presence of t(14;18) (q32;q21), and t(8;14) (q24;q32) in 24 cells and t(14;18) only in one cell, suggesting that the latter translocation came first during clonal evolution. Both bcl-2 and c-myc were rearranged in addition to the immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes. The presence of small lymphoid cells in paratrabecular areas on the bone marrow biopsy, together with evidence of cytogenetic clonal evolution, was indicative of a transformation from a low grade follicular lymphoma to a more aggressive Burkitt type malignancy.

Abstract
The clinical and laboratory studies of 6 patients with primary plasma cell leukaemia are described. The leukaemic cells had a variable morphology, ranging from lymphoplasmacytic and mature plasma cells to poorly differentiated blasts. The neoplastic plasma cells had a characteristic phenotype: they were positive for CyIg and the McAb OKT10 and Ri-3, and did not express the B-cell antigens Ia, B1 and B4. Ultrastructural studies confirmed the plasma cell nature of the leukaemic cells and showed the presence of a meshwork of cytoplasmic fibrils in 50 to 90% of the neoplastic cells from all cases. The distinct ultrastructural and immunological features of PCL described in this study will help the diagnosis and further characterisation of this disease entity.

Abstract
Cyclosporin A(CyA) is a valuable post graft immunosuppressive agent in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The use of CyA is associated with a reduction in severity of graft versus host disease and improved marrow engraftment. A major side effect of CyA is nephrotoxicity. In 33 patients studied during the first 4 weeks of therapy there is a close correlation between trough (12 h) serum cyclosporin A concentrations and plasma creatinine (r = 0.93, P less than 0.001) and urea (r = 0.88, P less than 0.001). Trough CyA serum concentrations of greater than 500 ng/ml are potentially nephrotoxic. Other risk factors for early nephrotoxicity in cyclosporin therapy are the concurrent use of aminoglycoside antibiotics (P = 0.01) and hyperbilirubinaemia (P = 0.01). Early nephrotoxicity can be prevented by maintaining trough CyA levels in the range 100-400 ng/ml. During prolonged CyA therapy, cumulative renal impairment can occur and nephrotoxic episodes associated with microangiopathic peripheral blood changes and hypertension are seen in a minority of patients.

Abstract
We have studied the pattern of regeneration of peripheral blood cells following ABO compatible bone marrow transplantation for severe aplastic anaemia. 18 patients were treated with cyclosporin A and six with methotrexate for post graft immunosuppression. The number of days taken for the neutrophil count to reach 0.5 x 10(9)/l, the lymphocyte count to reach 1.0 x 10(9)/l, the platelet count to reach 100 x 10(9)/l and the reticulocytes to reach 1% was shorter in the CyA treated patients. This finding reached statistical significance for all types of cells except the platelets (neutrophils, P less than 0.001; lymphocytes, P less than 0.02; platelets, P greater than 0.05; reticulocytes, P less than 0.001). The more rapid regeneration of peripheral blood cells in patients treated with cyclosporin A has contributed to reducing the length of time patients are dependent on blood product support in the post transplant period.

Abstract
Six patients with Philadelphia positive chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) were treated with single high doses of busulphan. The action of busulphan on the in vivo kinetics of circulating progenitor cells (colony forming cells) was measured using an agar culture system which involved scoring of total colonies and clusters at 7 days and of granulocyte, monocyte and eosinophil colonies at 14 days. High dose busulphan was found to be effective in suppressing circulating granulocyte, monocyte and eosinophil progenitor cells. The effect of busulphan on progenitor cells was rapid and their levels fell by at least 85% within five days. By contrast, the white blood cells fell by only 9% and the platelets fell by 10% over this time. Subsequently, the white cell count and platelet count fell to near normal levels. The progenitor cell levels began to rise again at a mean of 35 days following busulphan treatment and the white blood cells at a mean of 39 days in four patients. One patient remained in haematological remission for six months following 100 mg of busulphan with less than 1 progenitor per 5 x 10(5) peripheral blood nucleated cells. One patient in myeloblastic transformation had a previously not described culture pattern consisting of a high cluster to colony ratio at 7 days and of an increased number of predominantly eosinophilic colonies at 14 days. There was no significant fall in progenitor cell levels following busulphan and this patient died.
