One of the main concerns related to closed systems is potential spread root pathogens. With recirculation nutrient solutions. Ozone treatment was tested for efficacy against plant pathogen (Pythium), growth and yield cucumber crop grown in hydroponic system during summer season (June-August) 2022. Two solution feeding tanks were used one with ozone other without randomized complete design (RCD)...

Root exudates play a significant role in influencing the rhizosphere microbes. Fungi are an important group of microbes that influenced by plant root exudates. As invasive alien species secretes several allelochemicals and impact soil microbes, this study compared fungal community one weeds Ageratina adenophora with native (Rubus ellipticus, Shorea robusta Imperata cylindrica) far-western Nepal...

Abstract Plant-based screening experiments were conducted with the aim of identifying biocontrol bacteria and fungi for seed treatment maize. Candidate microorganisms evaluated their protective effects against soilborne infections by species Fusarium , Globisporangium (syn. Pythium ) Rhizoctonia. The tested from maize roots or other sources, including some active microbial components commercial...

Pythium species are cosmopolitan, fungus-like oomycotes which may cause diseases in plants, animals and even human beings. Some of the species, however, are saprophytes and also well-proven biological control agents of plant pathogenic fungi. Since 1968, when the first Pythium species was reported from Iran, ca 44 species, two varieties, and five groups of this genus have been reported from dif...

In a 3-year-study, we analysed the population dynamics of the reed pathogen Pythium phragmitis and other reed-associated oomycetes colonizing fresh and dried reed leaves in the littoral zone of a large lake. Oomycete communities derived from internal transcribed spacer clone libraries were clearly differentiated according to substrate and seasonal influences. In fresh leaves, diverse communitie...

The oomycotaPythium oligandrumPo37 is used as a biocontrol agent of plant diseases. Here, we present the first draft of theP. oligandrumPo37 genome sequence, which comprises 725 scaffolds with a total length of 35.9 Mb and 11,695 predicted protein-coding genes.

The phylogeny of 116 species and varieties of Pythium was studied using parsimony and phenetic analysis of the ITS region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. The D1, D2 and D3 regions of the adjacent large subunit nuclear ribosomal DNA of half the Pythium strains were also sequenced and gave a phylogeny congruent with the ITS data. All the 40 presently available ex-type strains were included in this ...
