ABSTRACT A number of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics were used to ascertain the identity and diversity of Pseudozyma flocculosa, a natural antagonist of powdery mildews that has received little attention in terms of taxonomy. To this end, several putative isolates of P. flocculosa as well as several closely related species were analyzed. Ribosomal DNA sequences distinguished P. floccul...

The India represents some the best non-equatorial tropical forests in world. It supports many endemic species plants, animals, microorganisms, especially Western Ghats, Moreover, a research project entitled "Foliicol...

In this study, ITS–rDNA region was used to identify some anamorphic powdery mildews in Guilan province. According to the results, Erysiphe species on Vicia faba and Sesbania punicea showed 100% similarity to each other, however, without ITS sequence of holotype of E. sesbaniae it is impossible to make conclusion whether Vicia faba powdery mildew fungus actually belongs to E. sesbaniae or E. tri...

Natural extracts, and particularly plant by-product can represent an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides control crop diseases. We produced extract from a mix of grapevine trunk roots that contain high amount complex stilbenes (grapevine phytoalexins), especially ?- r-viniferins. This conferred protection grapevines against Plasmopara viticola (the causal agent downy mildew) by dis...
