Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) is one of the most important medicinal plants recently introduced to Egyptian cultivation and has significant multiusing in human curing. Fusarium oxysporum, F. roseum, semitectum, solani, Macrophomina phaseolina, Pythium ultimum, Rhizoctonia solani Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were isolated from infected plants, showing root stem rot symptoms collected different localiti...

A major part of Trichoderma antifungal system consists of a number of genes encoding for an astonishing variety of secreted lytic enzymes including; e.g. chitinase, cellulases and β-1,3glucanases. The present work aimed to apply the mutagenesis technique in genetically breeding program of the bioagent Trichoderma viride to enhance three effective hydrolytic enzymes in their biocontrol abilities...

Identifying the molecular and genetic basis of resistance to Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) is critical for developing long-term cost-effective management this disease in rapeseed/canola (Brassica napus). Current cultural or chemical options provide, at best, only partial and/or sporadic control. Towards this, a B. napus breeding population (Mystic x Rainbow), including parents...
