Susceptibility of Selected Juniper Cultivars to Cedar-Apple Rust, Kabatina Tip Blight, Cercospora Needle Blight and Botryosphaeria Canker

Reactions of Open-Pollinated Sweet Corn Cultivars to Stewart’s Wilt, Common Rust, Northern Leaf Blight, and Southern Leaf Blight

The first commercially successful F1 hybrid sweet corn, Golden Cross Bantam, was released by Smith in the early 1930s (17). Today, over 600 sweet corn hybrids are available commercially in the United States and thousands of new hybrids are developed and evaluated each year. These hybrids display a wide range of phenotypic reactions to prevalent diseases (9), indicating a considerable amount of ...

Field evaluation of carrot cultivars for susceptibility to fungal leaf blight diseases in New York

Carrot cultivars grown in New York were evaluated for susceptibility to the fungal leaf blight pathogens Alternaria dauci (1999) and Cercospora carotae (2000–03) in an experimental field under continuous carrot cultivation since 1996. Replicated plots were established in a randomized complete block design. Plants were rated for disease incidence and severity at regular intervals. Cultivar susce...

Draft Genome Sequence of Cercospora cf. sigesbeckiae, a Causal Agent of Cercospora Leaf Blight on Soybean

Cercospora cf. sigesbeckiae is an ascomycete fungal pathogen that infects various plants, including important agricultural commodities, such as soybean. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence and assembly of this pathogen.

Effect of Rice Blast and Sheath Blight on Physical Properties of Selected Rice Cultivars

Cereal Chem. 77(5):535–540 Observations in 1997 indicated a significant reduction in kernel bulk density and head rice yield of rice cultivar LaGrue due to blast (Pyricularia grisea). A more detailed study on rice cultivar M202 in 1998 confirmed such observations but it also showed negative effects of blast on other physical properties of rice. Rough rice from blast-infected panicles was drier ...

OCCURRENCE OF NORTHERN LEAF BLIGHT, Phaeosphaeria LEAF SPOT , SOUTHERN LEAF BLIGHT, RUST AND MAIZE STREAK VIRUS IN KENYA
