induced resistance to pathogen is one of the ways which plants use against biotic stresses. pathogenesis-related proteins(pr), including chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase synthesized by the plant in response to pathogenic infection. in this investigation, the expression of two isoforms: acidic and basic of chitinase and β-1,3-glucanasegenes were analyzed at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after funga...

Gummy stem blight is a major foliar disease of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.). In this study, morphological characteristics and rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences were analyzed to identify the causal organism of this disease. Morphological examination of the Jeonbuk isolate revealed that the percentage of monoseptal conidia ranged from 0% to 10%, and the average length × width of the...

ß-1,3-Glucanase and chitinase activities have been analyzed in cell suspension cultures o f an Ascochyta rabiei resistant ILC 3279 and a susceptible ILC 1929 cultivar o f chickpea ( Cicer arietinum) following treatment with an elicitor derived from this fungal pathogen. A facile method to determine both hydrolase activities in the cell culture medium was established. Significantly higher consti...

Ascochyta blight (caused by rabiei) is a primary concern of chickpea production worldwide. Intercropping with non-host crop has the potential to suppress this disease and improve resource use efficiency for enhanced yield. This study aimed evaluate effects seeding rate row configuration (Cicer arietinum L.)–flax (Linum usitatissimum L) intercropping on (1) yield seed quality, (2) incidence seve...
