Bacillus subtilis RB14 was used as an antagonist against fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani K1 to control damping-off diseases in tomato plants. Tomato seeds were treated with B. subtilis RB14 culture. The concentration of bacterial cells for the treatment was about 108 cfu/ml. Treated tomato seeds showed 99% germination index similar to the untreated seeds. Scanning Electron Microscopic observ...

Tomato crop is primarily infected by various common diseases like Bacterial Canker, bird's-eye fruit spots, Bacterial Spot, Chlorosis, Curly Top, Early Blight, Fusarium Wilt, Gray Leaf, Gray Mold Rot, Leaf Mold, Leaf Roll and Leaf Curl, Powdery mildew, Septoria Leaf Spot, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Verticillium Wilt. The presented work describes a algorithm for different disease detection based on t...

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus is one of the main diseases affecting tomato production worldwide. Previous studies have shown that Ty-2 is an important resistance gene located between molecular markers C2_At2g28250 (82.3 cM) and T0302 (89.0 cM), and exhibits strong resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus in Asia. In this study, Ty-2 candidate genes were subjected to bioinformatic analysis fo...

The role of antioxidants in human nutrition has gained increased interest, especially due to their associated healthbeneficial effects for a number of chronic diseases, including certain types of cancer and cardiovascular disease. There is a particular interest in tomato as it is a major component in the so-called “Mediterranean diet” which has been associated with a healthier lifestyle. Tomato...

Diseases are still the main cause of reduction of yield in tomato crops in Pakistan. Early blight and fruit rot of tomatoes are the most important diseases caused by Alternariasolani. These diseases are responsible to cause tremendous yield loss in tomato crops in District Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This research was initiated to isolate the causal agents of early blight and fruit ...

It is of a great importance in modern agriculture to study fast, automatic, inexpensive and accurate method diagnosing plant diseasesTherefore, timely accurately diagnosis the disease fields one most important factors dealing with diseases. For this reason, present study, image processing has been examined for two diseases rice tomato, brown spots leaf blasts. In firstly data section treated us...

Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) is prominent among vegetables produced in Ghana. About ninety percent (90%) of the population of the study area are engaged primarily in tomato production. Due to the problem posed by pests and diseases and the vulnerability of vegetables to most of these pests and diseases, a variety of pesticides including organophosphates, Organochlorines, carbamates, and syn...

The tomato crop is exposed to serious losses due infection with several diseases and pests, which threaten production in Egypt worldwide. Therefore, selecting the germplasm resistant a specific pathogen by molecular markers closely linked resistance loci desirable goal of this study. In work, seven co-dominant targeting six genes (I-1, Ve, Ph3, Cf-9/Cf-4, Rx4, Pto) for main [ fusarium wilt (Fus...

Fusarium solani is the causative organism of Fusarium wilt of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill). Four Bacillus spp identified as B. amyloliquefaciens, B. cereus, B. pumilus and B. subtilis were tested for biocontrol activities in vitro as zone of inhibition and in vivo as percent disease control and disease incidence. The result from in vitro analysis showed that B. amyloliquefaciens inhibi...
