Tebu (Saccharum officinarum) merupakan tanaman perkebunan penting sebagai penghasil utama gula di Indonesia. Penurunan produksi tebu dalam beberapa tahun terakhir tidak sejalan dengan permintaan yang kian meningkat. Pemuliaan diarahkan untuk mendapatkan varietas-varietas unggul diharapkan memiliki produktivitas tinggi dan tahan terhadap faktor-faktor gangguan dapat menurunkan tanaman. Pengamata...

Fusarium subglutinans f. sp. pini (= F. circinatum) is a pathogen of pine and is one of eight mating populations (i.e., biological species) in the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex. This species complex includes F. thapsinum, F. moniliforme (= F. verticillioides), F. nygamai, and F. proliferatum, as well as F. subglutinans associated with sugarcane, maize, mango, and pineapple. Differentiati...

Fumonisins are thermostable toxins produced by Fusarium spp. These fungi commonly contaminate corn and other types of cereal; nevertheless, they rarely contaminate hay, and when contamination occurs, it is uncommonly a toxic strain. These mycotoxins were first described by a study group in South Africa after 20 years of searching for the substance produced by F. moniliforme that causes leukoenc...

this study was carried out to identify fusarium species associated with sugar beet root rot and yellows. pathogenicity of fusarium oxysporum, the causal agent of fusariumyellows of sugar beet was also investigated. samples of infected roots were collected from fields in major sugar beet producing areas in khorasan province during 1999-2000. infected roots were washed, surface sterilised and pla...

Twelve strains of Fusarium moniliforme were examined for their ability to sector spontaneously on toxic chlorate medium. All strains sectored frequently; 91% of over 1200 colonies examined formed chlorate-resistant, mutant sectors. Most of these mutants had lesions in the nitrate reduction pathway and were unable to utilize nitrate (nit mutants). nit mutations occurred in seven loci: a structur...

The article presents the results of studies on effectiveness biological preparations Gibbersib - obtained basis Fusarium moniliforme strain a polygibberellin preparation containing set gibberellic acids, as well 6-Benzyladenine synthetic cytokinin intended to activate vital activity plant associated with growth and development lateral shoots that improve crowning seedlings. According testing se...

The occurrence of 2 gibberellin-like substances was demonstrated in the developing banana fruit, Musa sapientum, Linn. Chemical and biological evidence led to the tentative identification of the 2 compounds as GA(7) and GA(x) (previously isolated from citrus fruits). Support for such identification was obtained from thin layer chromatography, gradient elution column chromatography, spectrofluor...
