Rhizoctonia solani and R. oryzae are the principal causal agents of Rhizoctonia root rot in dryland cereal production systems of the Pacific Northwest. To facilitate the identification and quantification of these pathogens in agricultural samples, we developed SYBR Green I-based real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) assays specific to internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS...

Rhizoctonia oryzae causes root rot and stunting of wheat, barley, and other small grains, and is widely distributed in eastern Washington State. The spatial distribution of both the pathogen and the disease were studied over two seasons in a 36-ha field north of Pullman, Wash. The field was direct seeded with spring barley in 2000, then divided and planted to winter wheat and spring wheat in 20...

rhizoctonia-like fungi were isolated from the infected roots of miniature rose (rosa hybrida cv. linda) plant with chlorosis and necrosis symptoms, grown in commercial glasshouse in rafsanjan, iran, during the autumn of 2011. all of the isolates were identified as binucleate rhizoctonia sp. on the basis of hyphal characteristics and nuclei number. they were tested for detection of the anastomos...

in vitro studies with trichoderma spp., soil-borne fungal antagonists, demonstrated that a number of isolates produced volatile and non-volatile metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth and sporulation of several soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi. microscopic observations showed that t. harzianm and t. viride, isolated from soil samples from ahwaz and karaj, adversely affected the mycelial ...

Rhizoctonia solani causes economically important root and hypocotyl diseases in common bean throughout the world. Root health is a vital factor in plant development and root diseases would negatively influence water and nutrient uptake as well as cause direct stand reduction and root rot damage to the crop. An efficient common bean screening method to evaluate damping-off and early root/ hypoco...

metallic silver nanoparticles have been reduced from silver nitrate by employing the extracellular enzymatic machinery of edible white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus). the physical properties of these particles, size and shapes have been determined using techniques like tem, ftir and xrd and were reported in our earlier report. but, what stands of paramount importance in the present context...

Bhut jolokia (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is one of the world’s hottest chilli entered in the Guinness book of world record (2006). Many pest and diseases ruined Bhut jolokia and among them damping-off disease of seedling as well root and stem rot in young transplants caused by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the important limiting factor in cultivation and production (Ngullie and Daiho, 2013). Even ...
