damping-off disease of cucumber caused by soil-born fungi pythium aphanidermatum is one of the most destructive diseases of cucumber. in this research, the effect of three bio-fertilizers including; nitroxin, mycorrhiza and vermicompost in single and combined form on induced resistance and yield components in greenhouse cucumber (es-2862) infected with damping-off disease was investigated. thes...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum is responsible for billions of dollars in agriculture losses. The goal of the present study was evaluation the expression of acidic chitinase, one of PR proteins, in wheat defense response against different FHB induced treatments in 'Falat' as a highly susceptible and 'Sumai3' as a tolerant cultivar. These treatments contained fungi extr...

 Chitinases have received attention because of their wide applications in the medicine, biotechnology, agriculture, waste management and industrial applications such as food quality enhancer and biopesticide. Excessive use of insecticides has led to several problems related to pollution and environmental degradation. In this study, isolation and identification of native bacterial strai...

backgoround: plant diseases, caused by a wide range of phytopathogenic fungi, could be managed using of trichoderma sp, as a biocontrol agent. cell wall degrading enzymes like chitinase from t. harzianum are important means for fungal pathogen inhibition. overexpression of these chitinase enzymes can improve the antagonistic potential of trichoderma sp. strains. objectives: this study aimed to ...

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) an agro-economically important food crop in the world, is sensitive to many fungal pathogens including Rhizoctonia solani (AG-3), the causal agent of stem and root rot diseases. Chitinase and glucanase are cell wall degrading enzymes which have been shown to have high antifungal activity against a wide range of phytopathogenic fungi. In the present study, plasmid p...

conclusions in conclusion, chit1 24 bp duplication might not be a candidate gene for susceptibility to ptb. larger studies are necessary to confirm these findings in various populations. results homozygous wild type, heterozygous and homozygous mutant frequencies of chit1 24 bp duplication polymorphism were 43.9%, 43.9% and 12.2% in controls and 42.8%, 45.1% and 12.1% in ptb patients. we found ...

Cotton cultivar Coker has been already transformed with recombinant pBI121-chi via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The T-DNA region of pBI121-chi carries the chitinase (chi ) gene from bean and is under the control of the CaMV35S promoter. T1 and T2 progenies of transgenic cotton containing the chi gene were used in this study.  Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Southern and Western blotting data con...
