The Septoria leaf spot ( glycines Hemmi), is a harmful pathogen of soybean. To create resistant variety to this pathogen, detailed study physiological processes at the biochemical level necessary. Enzymes play leading role in adapting stressors. It was shown that specific activity esterases and RNases soybean seeds infected with septoria decreased, relative control. Multiple forms enzymes diffe...

Bacterial leaf blight of rice caused by pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae is a serious pest leading to major loss of rice production world wide. Early detection of pathogen can help in taking necessary precautionary measures to avoid onset and spread of disease. Conventional methods of pathogen identification are laborious, time taking and give inconsistent results. Rapid molecular methods ...

Virulence in pathogens may be increased or decreased in order to maximize reproduction and transmission. We investigated how reproduction and virulence in the entomopathogen Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) changed with bacterial density. We predicted that virulence would be moderated at high pathogen densities because extended time to death allows more growth in hosts. We found that pathogen reprod...
