In the present work, results of a survey wheat crops in area IASS "Obraztsov chiflik" – Ruse are presented. The study was carried out during period 2018-2021, at experimental field institute, according to accepted methods for weed infestation, species composition entomofauna and economically important diseases. aim is determine weeds, diseases insect pest under relevant agro-climatic conditions...

Introduction. Erysiphe cichoracearum /Ec/ is the predominating powdery mildew species on cucurbits in the Czech Republic (5). Its occurrence and spreading on cucurbits can be influenced not only by virulence, but also by aggressiveness of isolates within natural pathogen populations. Both forms of pathogenicity have an impact on plant cultivation and protection and should be considered in resis...

Attack by the host powdery mildew Erysiphe cichoracearum usually results in successful penetration and rapid proliferation of the fungus on Arabidopsis. By contrast, the nonhost barley powdery mildew Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh) typically fails to penetrate Arabidopsis epidermal cells. In both instances the plant secretes cell wall appositions or papillae beneath the penetration peg of...

Powdery mildew on flowers of Cassia fistula and folioles Tamarindus indica, caused by Erysiphe quercicola, is reported for the first time in Brazil. The identity pathogen was confirmed morphological characteristics molecular sequence analyses ITS 28S rDNA regions. This report E. quercicola causing powdery C. T. indica

TAXI-I (Triticum aestivum xylanase inhibitor I) is a wheat grain protein that inhibits arabinoxylan fragmentation by microbial endo-beta-1,4-xylanases used in the food industry. Although TAXI was speculated to be involved in counterattack against pathogens, there is actually no evidence to support this hypothesis. We have now demonstrated the presence of TAXI family members with isolation of tw...

Previously isolated susceptible host mutants were used in a genetic and functional study of the resistance response of barley specified by resistance gene Mla12 to the fungal pathogen Erysiphe graminis f sp hordei. Mutant M66 represents a defective allele of Mla12, whereas M22, M82, and M100 represent mutations in loci unlinked to Mla12. Intermutant crosses of the latter three show that suscept...

Twenty-five vital fluorescent dyes were tested for accumulation in haustoria of Erysiphe graminis (DC) Merat f. sp. hordei Em . Marchai when applied to coleoptile epidermal host cells of Hordeum vulgare L . Eight of the dyes gave fluorescence to structures judged to be haustorial mitochondria . The potentiometric cyanine dyes, DiOC4 (3) and DiOC 7 (3) gave best differentiation between the putat...
