Abies sibirica Ledeb.-dominated stands degradation is of special concern. Nevertheless, insufficient attention paid to the role pathogens in this process. The aim present study assess coenotic infectious diseases fir-dominated south Central Siberia. research was based on a forest pathological examination conducted A. sibirica-dominated Krasnoyarsk Krai. cenotic identified unequal. Stem decay an...

Stem rot was found for the first time on the Asiatic dayflower plant (Commelina communis L.) in Korea. A detailed description of this Korean specimen is given, along with its rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence. The fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo based on mycological characteristics and molecular data.

Fusarium basal rot (FBR) caused by oxysporum f. sp. cepae (FOC) is a major threat to onion (Allium cepa L.) production and marketing worldwide. Finding new sources of FBR-resistance develop synthetic cultivars priority for breeders. As there are no FBR-resistant short-day cultivars, 85 U.S. National Plant Germplasm System plant introduction accessions that originated from 23 different countries...

Pectobacterium atrosepticum strain CFBP6276 is a pectinolytic enterobacterium causing blackleg and soft rot of the stem and tuber of Solanum tuberosum. Its virulence is under the control of quorum sensing, with N-acylhomoserine lactones as communication signals. Here, we report the genome sequence of P. atrosepticum strain CFBP6276.

Oil palm plantation was first established in Malaysia 1917. Since then, the oil industry flourished especially following shifting of Deli Dura to Tenera 1960s, which contributed a 30% increase yield. However, outbreak basal stem rot disease caused by Ganoderma boninense has substantial yield losses. With no known cure date, extensive molecular studies were conducted better understand underlying...

Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a fungal pathogen associated with perennial tropical fruit plants worldwide. In citrus, L. causes stem-end rot (Diplodia rot), damaging postharvest disease that aggravated when trees are also infected the citrus greening bacteria ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’. Due to latent infection of during preharvest stage, it becomes difficult control by chemical or physic...

Strip tillage with various crop covers in peanut (Arachis hypogaea, L.) production has not shown a clear yield advantage over conventional tillage, but has been found to reduce yield losses from some diseases. This study was conducted to determine pod yield and disease incidence between two tillage practices, five winter cover crops, three peanut cultivars, and three fungicide programs. Convent...
