Phylogenetic analyses and morphological characteristics were used to assess the taxonomic placement of eight plant-pathogenic Sclerotium species. Members of this genus produce only sclerotia and no fruiting bodies or spores, so Sclerotium species have been difficult to place taxonomically. Sequences of rDNA large subunit (LSU) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions were determined for is...

White rot, which is caused by Sclerotium cepivorum, is a lethal disease affecting green onions. Three different types of nano-silver liquid (WA-CV-WA13B, WA-AT-WB13R, and WA-PR-WB13R) were tested in several different concentrations on three types of media to assess their antifungal activities. Results from in vitro experiments showed that all three of the nano-silver liquids had more than 90% i...

The paper reports the qualitative and quantitative composition and its antifungal activities of Thymus capitatus (L.) Hoffmanns. & Link, Lamiaceae, essential oils isolated by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of plants collected in Calabria, Southern Italy. The essential oils of 22 samples were analysed by GC-Flame ionization detection and GC/MS. A total of sixty five compounds were ident...

White rot caused by Sclerotium cepivorum Berk is a significant threat to garlic and onion industry in the United States. The pathogen produces a great number of poppy seed-sized sclerotia, which can survive in soil for many years. Populations of just a few sclerotia per liter soil can potentially cause severe disease and result in crop failure. Once the land has been infested, it is generally c...

Introducción. En Colombia, la producción de ajo se ve afectada por patógenos, principalmente Sclerotium cepivorum, el cual disemina material siembra. Es necesario establecer tecnologías bajo costo que permitan controlar este patógeno. Objetivo. Evaluar dos métodos termoterapia, termoterapia calor seco y inmersión en agua, para disminuir presencia S. cepivorum semilla su efecto sobre característ...

sclerotium cepivorum incited white rot is one of the destructive diseases of garlic inhamedan province. a total number of 175 bacillus strains were isolated from soil and fromgarlic rhizospheres. the antagonism of the bacterial isolates against sclerotium cepivorum wasevaluated using dual culture method. ten high level activity isolates which produced inhibitionzones were selected for further s...
