Molecular Characterization of Rhizoctonia Solani Ag-7 Causing Root Rot on Cotton Crop in India

Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn) is one of the most important cotton crop pathogens. Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis groups (AGs) 7 and 4 are proven to be the most common pathogenic fungal strains on cotton crop. AG-7 can cause root rot in plants while damping-off of seedlings is most frequently attributed to AG-4. Sequencing of the ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) region of ribosomal DNA was performe...

Temperature, Moisture, and Seed Treatment Effects on Rhizoctonia solani Root Rot of Soybean

Leuconostoc spp. Associated with Root Rot in Sugar Beet and Their Interaction with Rhizoctonia solani.

Rhizoctonia root and crown rot is an important disease problem in sugar beet caused by Rhizoctonia solani and also shown to be associated with Leuconostoc spp. Initial Leuconostoc studies were conducted with only a few isolates and the relationship of Leuconostoc with R. solani is poorly understood; therefore, a more thorough investigation was conducted. In total, 203 Leuconostoc isolates were ...
