First Report of Anthracnose Disease Caused by Colletotrichum truncatum on the Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) in China

First Report of Anthracnose Caused by Colletotrichum fioriniae on Chinese Matrimony Vine in Korea

A fungus, Colletotrichum fioriniae, was isolated for the first time from fruits of Chinese matrimony vine (Lycium chinense Mill.) in Korea. It was classified as C. fioriniae based on the morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase and β-tubulin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of C. fioriniae causing anthracnose of Chi...

First Report of Colletotrichum fructicola as the causal agent of Anthracnose on Common Bean and Cowpea

Inhibition of Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) Germination and Growth by Benzyl Isothiocyanate, a Natural Toxicant!

/ Abstract. Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) was extracted from mature papaya (Carica papaya L.) seeds and applied to imbibed velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic. #3 ABUTH) seeds. Complete inhibition of germination occurred at a concentration of 6 x l(f4 M BITC, and only 28% (compared to controls) of the seeds germinated after 4 days exposure to the 4 x l(f4 M treatment. Corn (Zea mays L. 'DeKal...

Microarray analysis of late-season velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti ) effect on corn

Sharon A. Clay Department of Plant Science, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD 57007 Microarray analysis was used to identify changes in gene expression in corn leaves collected from plants at the V11–14 growth stage that resulted from competition with velvetleaf. The plants were grown in field plots under adequate N (addition of 220 kg N ha 1) and irrigation to minimize N and water s...

Comparison of efficacy, absorption and translocation of three glyphosate formulations on velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti).

Growth analysis, absorption and translocation studies were conducted to compare a 1-aminomethanamide dihydrogen tetraoxosulfate (GLY-A) formulation of glyphosate with two isopropylamine (GLY-IPA-1, GLY-IPA-2) formulations of glyphosate on velvetleaf. The two isopropylamine formulations differed by the presence of a surfactant in the formulation, GLY-IPA-1 containing surfactant whereas GLY-IPA-2...
