Evaluation of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as a potential mycotoxin producer on soybeans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solvent extracts of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sclerotia were nontoxic to mice and chicken embryos; psoralens were not detected. Solvent extracts of soybeans inoculated with 10 strains of S. sclerotiorum were toxic on injection but nontoxic on per os administration to mice. The presence of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the soybeans may partially help explain toxicity by intraperitineal injection.

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenicfungus that attacks more than 400 plant species of them medicinal plant. In this study the extract obtained from basal stalk rot of Helianthus annuus L., attacked by S. sclerotiorum, was subjected to the analysis of FTIR to identify the presence of beta-glucan. FT-IR spectrum showed four ranges of bands in 890 cm-1, two overlap band in 1047 and 1078 ...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of Sclerotinia stem rot, is a devastating fungal pathogen of soybean that can cause significant yield losses to growers when environmental conditions are favorable for the disease. The development of resistant varieties has proven difficult. However, poor resistance in commercial cultivars can be improved through additional breeding efforts and underst...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus which causes serious yield losses in canola. A pathogen inducible-promoter can facilitate the production of Sclerotinia-resistant transgenic canola plants. Inthis study, the “gain of function approach” was adopted for the construction of a pathogen-inducible promoter.The synthetic promoter technique was used, which involved the in...
