Plants have developed a variety of mechanisms to cope with abiotic and biotic stresses. In a previous subcellular localization study of hydrogen peroxide-responsive proteins, two peptides with an unknown function (designated ARACIN1 and ARACIN2) have been identified. These peptides are structurally very similar but are transcriptionally differentially regulated during abiotic stresses during Bo...

Liquid and semi-solid culture media are used to maintain and proliferate bacteria, fungi, and Oomycetes for research in microbiology and plant pathology. In this study, a comparison was made between soybean milk medium, also referred to as soymilk, and media traditionally used for culturing soybean pathogens to determine if soymilk medium was an effective medium for growth of Colletotrichum tru...

Jatropha curcas L., a perennial plant grown in tropics and subtropics is popularly known for its potential as biofuel. The plant is reported to survive under varying environmental conditions having tolerance to stress and an ability to manage pest and diseases. The plant was explored for its endophytic fungi for use in crop protection. Endophytic fungi were isolated from leaf of Jatropha curcas...

La investigación desarrolló fases reconocimiento sintomatología, identificación agentes causales determinación pruebas patogenicidad. Se encontraron 8 hongos, como marchitamientos, necrosis raíz, manchas...

In the course of screening for novel naturally occurring fungicides from mushrooms in Yunnan province, China, the ethanol extract of the fruiting bodies of Albatrellus dispansus was found to show antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi. The active compound was isolated from the fruiting bodies of A. dispansus by bioassay-guided fractionation of the extract and identified as grifolin ...

Antifungal activity of Bacillus coagulans creates the possibility to use this microorganism in biological control of fungal plant pathogens. Activity of Bacillus coagulans (No 6), isolated from lupine compost, against seven pathogenic species of indicator fungi: Bipolaris sorokiniana, Trichothecium roseum, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Fusatium oxysporum, Fusarium solani and Fus...

Plant diseases are a threat for global food safety. Allium obliquum, Allium fistulosum, Allium ursinum, Aloe vera, Berberis vulgaris and Chelidonium majus plant extracts were obtained by the repercolation method and the antifungal activity was determined by the agar-dilution assay against Apergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Botrytis paeoniae, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli, Fusarium oxyspor...

Four experimental trials were carried out at Albenga (Northern Italy) to evaluate the e!ectiveness of reduced dosages of methyl bromide (MB) applied under gas-impermeable "lms in controlling soilborne pathogens of vegetable crops. Forty and thirty g/m2 of MB applied under di!erent types of gas-impermeable "lms controlled Rhizoctonia solani on bean, lettuce and basil, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. b...
