BACKGROUND Orobanche spp. represent a serious threat to a wide range of crops. They are difficult targets for herbicides, and biological control could provide a possible solution. This work therefore aimed to formulate mycoherbicides of Fusarium with adequate shelf life and virulence against Orobanche but safe to faba bean and tomato. RESULTS Only two isolates of Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. ...

bean root rot caused by plant pathogenic fungus, fusarium solani, is considered one of the most important diseases of bean in the world and in iran. because of economic importance of bean and the lack of information on population diversity of the pathogen in zanjan province, a research was conducted to study phenotypic, genotypic and pathogenicity variation of pathogen isolates and to assess pa...

Evolutionary relationships were inferred among a worldwide sample of Ascochyta fungi from wild and cultivated legume hosts based on phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS), as well as portions of three protein-coding genes: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G3PD), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (EF) and chitin synthase 1...

Quantifying the contributions of insect pollinators to crops provides insight into how pollination services should be managed and protected future. Faba bean, Vicia faba var minor (Linneaus), is a widely grown crop globally that can benefit from pollinator visitation, but only species are morphologically compatible with plant's long-corollae flowers. Here, we rank in terms their potential impor...

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) as the most cultivated leguminous species in the world, is an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, micronutrients and phytochemicals. A field experiment was conducted at Ghazala, Zagazig University, Sharkia Governorate during 2015, to study the effect of plant Growth Regulator such as; Gibberellic acid (GA3) and Inidol acetic acid (IAA) on antioxidant contents o...

Fish muscle growth is important for the rapidly developing global aquaculture industry, particularly with respect to production and quality. Changes in muscle fibre size are accomplished by altering the balance between protein synthesis and proteolysis. However, our understanding regarding the effects of different protein sources on fish muscle proteins is still limited. Here we report on the p...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selected bean cultivars with different levels of anti-nutritional substances on performance and metabolism of dairy cows. In the current twelve-week-long study, 32 dairy cows at 3 to 6 weeks after parturition were divided into four groups. Diets were balanced to have an analogical content of crude protein and energy. Experimental groups (MI, ...
