Species of the genus Coniochaeta (anamorph: Lecythophora) are known as pathogens of woody hosts, but can also cause opportunistic human infections. Several fungi with conidial stages resembling Lecythophora were isolated from necrotic wood samples of Prunus trees in South Africa. In order to reveal their phylogenetic relationships, these fungi were studied on a morphological and molecular (5.8S...

a total of twenty seven bacterial strains were isolated from cankerous tissues of apricot, nectarine, peach, plum, sour cherry and sweet cherry trees in tehran province and identified as pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (pss), the causal agent of the bacterial canker disease, on the basis of lopat (levan production, oxidase test, potato rot, arginine dihydrolase and tobacco hypersensitive ...

to determine the specificity and host range of wilsonomyces carpophilus isolates, some stone fruit seedlings (prunus armeniaca, prunus dulcis, prunus reuteri, p. vulgaris, p. domestica, p. persica, p. avium and p. cerasus), pome fruits (malus communis, pyrus communis, crataegus azarollus and crataegus monogyna) as well as ornamental plants (rosa persica, rosa sp. and r. damascena) were selected...

A visual evaluation of plantations apple, pear, quince, cherry, sweet hexaploid plum, diploid apricot,
 peach, nectarine, almond, hazelnut, pomegranate, fig, tea, carried out in 2021, made it possible to identify a wide range
 symptoms viral, phytoplasmic and bacterial infections. Primary diagnosis was the fruit-bearing and
 collection orchards nurseries Absheron, Ganja-Gazakh, S...

development of effective strategies for management of brown rot disease to obtain an accurate knowledge of the response of different cultivars to the pathogense takes. for study the percentage of the natural blooming in the garden and the change of total phenol amount in laboratories in different cultivars of stone fruit in response to the monilia laxa (honey) fungal pathogen, study was carried...

To study how chlorogenic acid affects changes of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the proteins involved in ROS scavenging of nectarine during storage time, the fruits were treated with chlorogenic acid (CHA) then stored at 25°C for further studies. The CHA-treatment significantly reduced O2-· production rate, H2O2 content, and membrane permeability of nectarine fruit during storage. The key pr...

Nectarines play a key role in peach industry; the fuzzless skin has implications for consumer acceptance. The peach/nectarine (G/g) trait was described as monogenic and previously mapped on chromosome 5. Here, the position of the G locus was delimited within a 1.1 cM interval (635 kb) based on linkage analysis of an F2 progeny from the cross 'Contender' (C, peach) x 'Ambra' (A, nectarine). Care...
