Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris is one of the most wide spread disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Studies indicated two major independent loci H1 and H2 determine the resistance to race-1 in chickpea. The dominant alleles at both H1 and H2 loci result in susceptible early wilting and recessive at any one (h1h1H2_ or H1_h2h2) produce susceptible late wilting and rec...

When high tensions are developed in the water columns within the xylem of a shoot, the shoot wilts. If such wilting is induced by plugging a stem with gelatin immediately upon cutting, very rapid recovery results if the plugged portion is cut off under water in such a way as to prevent the entrance of air into the stem. Such recovery was observed by DIXON and BARLEE (1) as long as no gas entere...

Serratia marcescens NJ01, a Gram-negative bacterium, can infect tomato leaves and cause chlorosis wilting. The present study evaluated the quorum sensing (QS) biofilm inhibitory effects of ...
