ABSTRACT Athelia rolfsii (Curzi) C.C. Tu & Kimbr. is the one of most damaging pathogens cultivated peanut, causing soilborne disease known regionally as white mold, stem rot, or southern blight. Because genetic base for peanut narrow, wild Arachis species may possess novel sources resistance. We evaluated 18 accessions representing 15 (batizocoi, benensis, cardenasii, correntina, cruziana, ...

Twenty-two isolates of Sclerotium rolfsii causing spotted leaf rot from Varanasi, India were grown on 6% Cyperus rotundus rhizome meal agar (CRMA) medium for the induction of athelial stage (Athelia rolfsii). Only one isolate obtained from Sphaeranthus indicus formed basidial stage on CRMA medium while the other 21 isolates did not. Basidial stage was also produced in S. indicus isolate at diff...

Efforts to improve food security in Indonesia, especially Bali, need be supported by improvements cultivation techniques, including the management of pests and diseases. Legume crops are often attacked stem rot diseases which can cause decreased production economic losses. This disease is generally caused soil-borne pathogenic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii or Athelia rolfsii. The macroscopic micros...

The paper provides data on aphyllophoroid fungi of the planned protected area Shuya River Mid-course situated in south Republic Karelia. Forests are spruce stands and mixed spruce-pine, spruce-deciduous 90–160 years old. checklist includes 128 species. Ten species novel for Karelia olonetsensis biogeographic province (Athelia epiphylla, Byssomerulius albostramineus, Ceriporia reticulata, Gloeoc...

High levels of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition may result in greater terrestrial carbon (C) storage. In a northern hardwood ecosystem, exposure to over a decade of simulated N deposition increased C storage in soil by slowing litter decay rates, rather than increasing detrital inputs. To understand the mechanisms underlying this response, we focused on the saprotrophic fungal community resi...
