BACTERIAL LEAF SPOT OF SUNFLOWER

Bacterial Leaf Spot of Alfalfa '

The bacterial leaf spot described here was first recognized on Turkestan and Grimm alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in two locations at Madison, Wis., in August 1930. The alfalfa in both instances was in cultivated experimental rows and had been repeatedly splashed bywatering with a garden hose. In October 1931 the disease recurred under similar circumstances at one of these locations, but with the...

Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases

By the end of the 1980s, black leaf streak disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis was present in all continents where bananas or plantains were grown, although distribution in some regions was limited to a few countries. In this presentation, the spread of the disease during the 1990s in several countries and regions, and the important socio-economic consequences are discussed. From 1990 to...

From a Single Leaf of Sunflower

When single leaves attached at a given node were allowed to carry on photosynthesis in 14CO2 for 30 min, younger plants showed a higher proportion of upward translocation than did older plants. Downward translocation of 14C-photosynthate was stimulated by ATP pre-treatment of the translocating leaf, while upward translocation was not affected by ATP. A similar phenomenon was observed in the tra...

Finished Genome Sequences of Xanthomonas fragariae, the Cause of Bacterial Angular Leaf Spot of Strawberry

Xanthomonas fragariae is a foliar pathogen of strawberry that is of significant concern to nursery production of strawberry transplants and field production of strawberry fruit. Long-read sequencing was employed to generate finished genomes for two isolates (each with one chromosome and two plasmids) from symptomatic plants in northern California.
