in this research, the antagonistic effects of bacillus subtilis isolates against the causal agent of tomato damping-off, rhizoctonia solani were surveyed under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. isolates b4 and b18 showed the most inhibition ratio in the volatile and non-volatile metabolites tests which were 50.3% and 58.6% respectively. the six out of 25 isolates studied more and their anta...

glomerella cingulata is the causal agent of anthracnose disease on citrus that attacks weakened trees. the sexual stage is rare in nature but can be produced in laboratory under certain conditions. sixty-seven single-spore isolates were selected from citrus in mazandaran province to be used in this study. isolates were cultured on ypss for investigating heterothallism and homothallism. to under...

sclerotium cepivorum incited white rot is one of the destructive diseases of garlic inhamedan province. a total number of 175 bacillus strains were isolated from soil and fromgarlic rhizospheres. the antagonism of the bacterial isolates against sclerotium cepivorum wasevaluated using dual culture method. ten high level activity isolates which produced inhibitionzones were selected for further s...

in order to study the effect of synorhizobium meliloti on growth and nutrients uptake of sesame, a greenhouse test was carried out. the first isolates investigated in iaa and siderophore producing and their ability in solubilizing inorganic phosphates. the results showed that all of isolates were able to produce auxin with different among. the maximum amount of iaa production was 59.5 g ml-1 th...

alfalfa mosaic virus (almv) is one of the most conspicuous alfalfa viruses in the world. in order to identify the distribution, host range and molecular characterization of alfalfa mosaic virus in kerman province, 514 alfalfa samples showing mosaic, calico, mottle and malformation symptoms as well as 66 potato samples showing calico symptoms were collected from alfalfa and potato fields in kerm...

the antagonistic effects of rhizobium spp. isolates against rhizoctonia solani (ag-4), the causal agent of bean damping-off were compared with each other in either of the in vitro and in vivo conditions. also their potential to produce such secondary antifungal metabolites as hcn, siderophore and protease were evaluated. the results indicated that, isolate rh3 reduced mycelial growth of r. sola...

Colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. Some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of E. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. The APEC strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. The purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes a...

study of some growth promotion properties of bacterial isolates from animal manures and identification of selected isolatesabstractbackground and objectives: plants growth in agricultural soils are affected by several biological factors. plant growth promoting bacteria can improve growth and yield of agronomic plants through direct and indirect mechanisms. minimizing consequences of using high ...

fusarium culmorum which is considered as the causal agent of fusarium head blight, can produce deoxynivalenol (don), nivalenol (niv) and their acetylated derivatives. this study has been assessed in order to detect the tri13 gene using primer pairs tri13donr/tri13f and tri13r/tri13nivf, to investigate the potential of f. culmorum isolates in the production of don and niv in west azarbayjan prov...

association of satellite rna with cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) leads to either attenuation or enhancement of the viral symptoms. for detection of the satellite rnas in iranian isolates of cmv, plant samples showing viral symptoms were collected from different farms in the provinces of east- and west- azerbayjan and ardebil. these samples were inoculated onto the experimental host plants in green...
