In August 2021, we surveyed diseases of wild vegetables grown in Taebaek, Gangwon Province, Korea. During the disease survey, observed severe damping-off symptoms young edible aster (<i>Aster scaber</i>) plants a vinyl greenhouse investigated. The incidence ranged from 5% to 20%. Diseased were collected greenhouse, and fungi isolated petiole lesions diseased plants. <i>Rhizoct...

Rhizoctonia solani is a ubiquitous basidiomycetous soilborne fungal pathogen causing damping-off of seedlings, aerial blights and postharvest diseases. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis a global approach based on analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was undertaken. To get broad gene-expression coverage, two normalized EST libraries were developed from mycelia g...

Soreshin of cotton was more severe from combined infections of Rhizoctonia solani and Meloidogyne incognita than from either organism alone, when both critical soil temperature and inoculum concentrations were present. Optimum soil temperatures for disease development from combined infections were 18 and 21 C. Either 2,500 or 5,000 M. incognita larvae per plant, combined with R. solani, increas...

root colonization by antagonist bacteria has been considered as a prerequisite for a successful biocontrol. for an effective suppression of plant disease, an efficient and fast colonization is necessary to prevent the establishment of pathogen on the root system. colonization of canola root by strain utpf86 were investigated with and without rhizoctonia solani ag-4, under greenhouse conditions....

Naturally occurring disease-suppressive soils have been documented in a variety of cropping systems, and in many instances the biological attributes contributing to suppressiveness have been identified. While these studies have often yielded an understanding of operative mechanisms leading to the suppressive state, significant difficulty has been realized in the transfer of this knowledge into ...
