Due to its uncertain etiology, the control of apple replant disease has primarily been dependent upon the use of biologically broad-spectrum pre-plant soil sterilants such as methyl bromide. Formulation of alternative measures that approach the levels of disease control achieved with soil fumigants has awaited a clearer understanding of the biotic and abiotic elements which contribute to the di...

Replant disease refers to the poor growth of trees when attempting establish same or related species on old orchard sites. The use pre-plant Brassicaceae seed meal (SM) soil amendments in combination with apple replant disease-tolerant rootstock genotypes has been shown be a promising strategy for control (ARD). However, optimizing microorganism-driven protection roots from infection by multipl...

during 2004–2007 various own rooted vineyards were inspected to study the fungi associated with vine trunk diseases in iran. samples from declining vines showing yellowing and reduced growth and different symptoms in wood, including browning of the wood, necrosis, brown and black streaking and white rot were collected. fungal isolations were made from affected tissues onto malt extract agar (me...

Endophytes are considered as an important source of bioactive natural products because thesemicroorganisms are able to occupy unique biological niches and grow in non-ordinaryenvironments. Therefore, endophytic fungi of medicinal plants can be developed for medicinalapplications. On the other hand, medicinal properties of plant can be ascribed to its endophyticfungi. Thymus sp. is widely used a...
