brassica napus is an important oilseed crop and the yield loss due to fungal disease stem rot caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a serious problem in cultivation of this crop. the pathogenesis-related (pr) protein, glucanase, hydrolyzes a major cell wall component, glucan, of the pathogenic fungi and acts as a plant defense barrier. in this study, a β-1,3-glucanase (bgn13.1) gene was isolate...

Two novel cyclic hexapeptides containing both anthranilic acid and dehydroamino acid units, sclerotides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the marine-derived halotolerant Aspergillus sclerotiorum PT06-1 in a nutrient-limited hypersaline medium. Both 1 and 2 are photointerconvertible and could be interconverted via a radical reaction initiated by direct photoisomerization. Both compounds showed...

Sclerotinia stem and root rot, caused by sclerotiorum, is considered to be an important soil-borne disease of over 400 plant species, including a wide range species for agriculture. In vitro in vivo sensitivity S. sclerotiorum several commercial fungicides biofungicides was studied. The highest efficacy achieved boscalid (98%) fluopyram (80%), the lowest B. subtilis-based product (5%). isolate ...

Abstract: The fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of white mold, is widespread throughout world. disease considered to be one major diseases soybean and bean crops in Brazil. pathogen S. sclerotiorum spread by seeds both form sclerotia dormant mycelium inside seeds. objective this work was evaluate relationship between different potentials performance these seeds, as well verify l...

The fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is worldwide in distribution and pathogenic to more than 400 plant species. This disease causes significant yield losses of various important crops including sunflower, canola, and soybean. Applying fungicides and crop rotation are currently the major methods of controlling this disease. However, fungicide chemicals are expensive, not ...

Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy in condensed phases has many important chemical and biological applications. The single-molecule fluorescence measurements contain information about conformational dynamics on a vast range of time scales. Based on the data analysis protocols methodology proposed by X. Sunney Xie, the theoretical study here mainly focuses on the single-molecule studies o...
