Dimorphism or morphogenic conversion is exploited by several pathogenic fungi and is required for tissue invasion and/or survival in the host. We have identified a homolog of a master regulator of this morphological switch in the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. This non-dimorphic fungus causes vascular wilt disease in tomato by penetrating the plant roots and colo...

triamidefon is a triazole derivative, which have both fungicidal and plant growth regulator (pgr) properties, and also protect plants from several types of abiotic stresses. the influential mechanism of triamidefon on plants is not much studied. in this study effect of this compound on the drought stressed in tomato plants was investigated. the plants were subjected to 5 day interval drought st...

In vitro micropropagation of wild cherry is presently one of the main commercial ways to clonally propagate this species (Cornu and Boulay, 1986). In order to extend this technique to a large number of clones, it seems necessary to improve our knowledge of the behavior of the explants during the in vitro culture. Since plant growth regulators (PGR) play an important role in this technique (Marg...

Nature of Work: Commercial production and management of ornamental groundcovers is especially difficult due to the cyclic nature of market demand. During peak periods, production cannot keep pace with demand due to many species possessing strong apical dominance resulting in few cuttings per stock plant (3). Secondly, vining plants held during the slack market periods become entwined and requir...
