Eucalyptus spp. are susceptible to a large number of foliar pathogens, some of which can cause serious defoliation and die-back. In this study, a single leaf spot on a Eucalyptus leaf collected in Madagascar revealed an unusual association of microfungi with disease symptoms. Initial observations indicated that the leaf spot was associated with Mycosphaerella marksii, a common pathogen of eucal...

garlic and onion are very important crops which are cultivated especially in autumn season in jiroft region, southeast of iran. one of the limiting factors for development of cultivation of these crops is fungal diseases such as leaf spot and blight. for identifying the causal agents of this disease, numerous onion and garlic fields were surveyed during 2001-2003 and infected samples were colle...

Accelerated wheat development and deployment of high-yielding, climate resilient, and disease resistant cultivars can contribute to enhanced food security and sustainable intensification. To facilitate gene discovery, we assembled an association mapping panel of 528 spring wheat landraces of diverse geographic origin for a genome-wide association study (GWAS). All accessions were genotyped usin...

Studies on some bacterial diseases of fruit plants from Aurangabad district was carried out during 2003-2009. They are: Leaf necrosis of Custard apple caused by Xanthomonas annonae; Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri; Bacterial canker of Mango caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae; Leaf necrosis of Guava caused by Xanthomonas psidae; and leaf spot of Badam...

Triphenyltin hydroxide (TPTH) has been used extensively in the Northern Great Plains in recent years for the control of Cercospora leaf spot on sugarbeet. Although mancozeb and, to a lesser extent, the benzimidazole fungicides often are implemented in conjunction with TPTH for optimum leaf spot control, TPTH continues to be the most widely used compound for control of the disease. Eminent (tetr...

We report the association of Cristulariella moricola (Hino) Redhead with a zonate leaf spot on Eucalyptus benthamii (Myrtaceae). We observed the disease outbreak across a series of experimental E. benthamii plantings in Barnwell County, South Carolina, USA in October 2015. The disease caused nearly complete foliar necrosis of most trees in one experimental planting, but disease incidence remain...

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) remains an important agronomic crop in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. In recent years, the value of Alabama’s 190,000-acre peanut crop has exceeded $120 million annually. However, the diseases early leaf spot, late leaf spot, and southern stem rot may greatly reduce the profitability of Alabama’s peanut crop due to lower yields and poorer nut quality (7). Also, fung...
