Biochemical Changes of Potato Cultivars Due to Infection by Dry Rot Disease

Changes in the Biochemical Constituents of Carrot Roots Due to Bacterial Soft Rot

Carrot is a rich source of nutrients. The carrot contains carotene and lycopene, which gives bright color to the roots. The quality of the carrots was assessed based on the carotene, lycopene and other biochemical constituents like sugars, starch and protein. To study the effect of various isolates of the Erwinia carotovora var. carotovora on the above biochemical constituents, the pathogens we...

Brown Rot of Potato

Brown rot, also known as bacterial wilt, is one of the most destructive diseases of potato. The disease has been estimated to affect about 3.75 million acres in approximately 80 countries throughout the world with global damage estimates currently over $950 million per year. The disease is known to occur in the wet tropics, sub-tropics and some temperate regions of the world. In the United Stat...

Classification of Potato Cultivars to Establish

In vitro anti-fungal activity of watercress (Nasturtium officinale) extract against Fusarium solani, the causal agent of potato dry rot

Background & Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the antifungal effect of the watercress extract on the growth of Fusarium solani, the causal agent of potato dry rot. Experimental:  This research was done in a completely randomized design with three concentrations and four replicates on potato dextrose agar (PDA) culture medium. Results: Results of this study indicated that all ...

Recombinant Protein for Biocontrol of Brown Rot Disease in Potato

In Egypt, potato has an important position among all vegetable crops. Potato crop is infected with the brown rot disease producing a major problem which caused by Ralstonia. Solanacearum. Soil samples were collected from Gharbia governorate, bacterial isolation was carried out using suitable media. Many bacterial isolates were obtained and used for bioagent against R. solanacearum. One isolate ...
