Horizontal gene transfer by the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica.
Horizontal gene transfer has been postulated to occur between crops to co-occurring parasitic plants, but empirical evidence has been lacking. We present evidence that an HGT event moved a nuclear monocot gene into the genome of the eudicot parasite witchweed (Striga hermonthica), which infects many grass species in Africa. Analysis of expressed sequence tags revealed that the genome of S. herm...
متن کاملSynthesis of Nanoparticles Using Fungus Fusarium Oxysporum
There has been commendable development in the field of biosynthesis of nanoparticles due to their low cost, environment friendly approach. One such biological entity employed in the synthesis is a fungus, Fusarium oxysporum that has shown hopes for a sustainable synthesis of many nanoparticles. In this review we will give an overview of the synthesis of nanoparticles using green methods and the...
متن کاملBiocontrol agent Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae has no adverse effect on indigenous total fungal communities and specific AMF taxa in contrasting maize rhizospheres
We studied the effects of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae (Fos), a soil-borne biocontrol agent (BCA) against Striga hermonthica, on total fungal and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) taxa in rhizospheres of maize in both clayey and sandy soil. Effects of Fos-BCA 'Foxy-2' were evaluated against (1) S. hermonthica presence, and (2) organic fertilization with Tithonia diversifolia residues at 1...
متن کاملResistance to Striga hermonthica in Wild Accessions of the Primary Gene Pool of Pennisetum glaucum.
ABSTRACT Resistance to Striga hermonthica in 274 wild Pennisetum glaucum subsp. monodii and stenostachyum accessions was evaluated at Samanko, Mali in 1997 and 1998, and at Cinzana, Mali and Sadoré, Niger in 1998. Data recorded included number of striga plants per plot at least three times during the season, date of striga emergence, number of Pennisetum plants, Pennisetum anthesis date, and do...
متن کاملKinetics of Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Fusarium Oxysporum
The emergence of nanobiotechnology has exposed the greener methods of preparation and application. Many theoretical and experimental works have been conducted in the biosynthesis of various nanomaterials and nanocomposites. Biologically synthesised nanomaterials are exhibiting excellent, unique and optimised properties. Micro organisms play an important role in the detoxification of metals thro...
