Oak wilt, caused by Ceratocystzsfagacearum (T.W. Bretz) J. Hunt, is probably the most destructive disease of oak trees (Quercus species) in the United States, and is currently causing high mortality at epiphytotic proportions in central Texas. The serious potential for damage prompted an increase in federal funding within the past fifteen years for new oak wilt research. New research developmen...

Fusarium isolates obtained from diseased koa plants, rhizosphere soil and seeds/seedcoats may or may not be pathogenic on young seedlings under greenhouse conditions. This includes isolates of F. oxysporum, the putative cause of koa wilt/dieback disease in Hawaii. We tested ten Fusarium isolates, comprising four different species, for their pathogenic potential on Acacia koa seedlings under gre...

It is now generally accepted, as pointed out by Westgate (1945), that the pineapple mealybug, Pseudococcus brevipes (Ckll.), is present in Florida, causing wilt as in other, pineapple growing areas. Control of the pine apple mealybug and/or of the ants infesting the soil and plants is, furthermore, usually considered to effect control of the wilt of pineapples, as shown by Illingworth (1931). B...

Introduction The free and pedicled flap reconstruction for defects of the head neck demands a postoperative monitoring routine. This task is usually performed by visual examination flap, doppler sonography pinpricking. In case impaired perfusion surgical revision only way to prevent necrosis. Hyperspectral imaging non-invasive optical method that can be used tissue classification visualize oxyg...

considering the deleterious effects of chemical pesticides used in agriculture including cotton cultivation, the search about integrated control strategies for important cotton diseases, verticillium wilt and rhizoctonia seedling damping-off is clearly obvious. in this present study, the researcher investigated the effectiveness of the integration of two strategies, biological control (using an...

Verticillium wilt, caused by the Verticillium dahliae phytopathogen, is a devastating disease affecting many economically important crops. Previous studies have shown that the exoproteome of V. dahliae plays a significant role in this pathogenic process, but the components and mechanisms that underlie this remain unclear. In this study, the exoproteome of V. dahliae was induced in a cotton-cont...

Fusarium wilt (also known as Panama disease) is one of the most destructive banana diseases, and greatly hampers the global production of bananas. Consequently, it has been very detrimental to the Chinese banana industry. An infected plant is one of the major causes of the spread of Fusarium wilt to nearby regions. It is essential to develop an efficient and environmentally sustainable disease ...
