The soil fungus Macrophomina phaseolina, the charcoal rot disease agent, poses a major threat to cotton fields. In Israel, highly infected areas are also inhabited by maize pathogen Magnaporthiopsis maydis. This study reveals relationships between two pathogens and their impact on sprouts. Infecting 14 days before sowing (DBS) with each or M. phaseolina maydis caused strong inhibition (up 50–65...

In the present study, 12 bacterial endophytes (C1 to C12) were isolated from three different genotypes of maize seed (COH6). Seed are considered as pioneers plant microbiome and enhance defense response at an early stage crop growth later stages seedling development. The seed-associated exhibit antagonistic property against fungal pathogen (Fusarium oxysporum Macrophomina phaseolina) maize. Amo...

ABSTRACT Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is an important socioeconomic crop in Brazil, mainly the Northeast and more recently Midwest of Brazil. Charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid, disease semiarid regions, where edaphoclimatic conditions are favorable to development disease. The aim this study was evaluate response 100 cowpea lines two isolates M. phaseolina. exp...

Here, we describe a novel mycovirus, tentatively designated as "Botryosphaeria dothidea mitovirus 3" (BdMV3), isolated from Botryosphaeria strain FJ, which causes pear ring rot disease in Fujian Province, China. The complete genome nucleotide sequence of BdMV3 is 2538 nt length and contains single 2070-nt open reading frame (ORF) encoding putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) 689 amino a...

An investigation was carried out with fifty sesame genotypes to identify source of resistance powdery mildew and macrophomina stem/root rot diseases during late kharif 2022 at RARS, Jagtial under protected conditions. Among the screened, four JCS 4047, 4026, 3880 GT 10 were found resistant mildew. The PDI ranged from 25.1%-73.3%. Based on score, classified into Resistant (4), moderately (27) Su...

Summary Understanding pathogen-agrosystem interaction is particularly essential when applying a control method to minimize pathogen prevalence prior plant infection. To meet this requirement, frequency of major root rot pathogens isolated from bean and seed, their soil populations were examined in farmers’ fields. Multivariate analyses evidenced more frequent isolations Fusarium solani Rhizocto...
