Abstract Sclerotinia stem rot caused by sclerotiorum is one of the most important diseases oilseed rape in world. Because absence resistant varieties and disadvantages chemical control, application antifungal microbes has become an eco-friendly effective measure to control this disease. In study, Bacillus subtilis strain RSS-1, isolated from soil samples, was identified based on morphological, ...

In 1903, Orton described a disease of the mulberry characterized by the " peculiarly enlarged portions of the aggregated fruit/ ' The disease was said to occur in Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Dr. M. B. Waite, Pathologist in Charge, Office of Fruit Disease Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industry, states that specimens of mulberry fruits showing this condition have been received from vario...

Basal stalk rot (BSR), caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a devastating disease in sunflower worldwide. The progress of breeding for Sclerotinia BSR resistance has been hampered due to the lack of effective sources of resistance for cultivated sunflower. Our objective was to transfer BSR resistance from wild annual Helianthus species into cultivated sunflower and identify the introgressed a...

White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, can be a serious disease of crops grown under cool, moist environments. In many plants, such as soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], complete genetic resistance does not exist. To identify possible genes involved in defense against this pathogen, and to determine possible physiological changes that occur during infection, a microarray ...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a broad range fungal pathogen which attacks more than 500 species of higher plants (Boland and Hall, 1994; Saharan and Mehta, 2008; Sharma et al.,, 2015a). The pathogen can cause serious losses in yield and quality on numerous important field and vegetable crops (Purdy, 1979). Stem rot of Indian mustard caused by S. sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary has beco...
