Pathogenic Effects and Transmission Studies of Seed-borne Fusarium Species in Sunflower
نویسنده
چکیده
Pathogenic effects of 6 Fusarium spp., viz., F. equiseti, F. longipes, F. scirpi (Section Gibbosum), F. oxysporum (Section Elegans), F. pallidoroseum (Section Arthrosporiella) and F. solani (Section Martiella) were studied on sunflower plants. Symptoms produced by Fusarium spp., were root-, collar-, stemand seedling rots, damping-off, stunting, wilting, tip burning and reduction in growth. Wilting and seedling rot were found to be the most prominent symptoms produced by all Fusarium spp. Highest wilting was observed in plants inoculated by F. equiseti, F. scirpi and F. solani, whereas, highest seedling rot was observed by F. solani.

IN VITRO ANTAGONISTIC EFFECTS OF TRICHODERMA SPP. ON SEVERAL SOILBORNE PLANT PATHOGENIC FUNGI
In vitro studies with Trichoderma spp., soil-borne fungal antagonists, demonstrated that a number of isolates produced volatile and non-volatile metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth and sporulation of several soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi. Microscopic observations showed that T. harzianm and T. viride, isolated from soil samples from Ahwaz and Karaj, adversely affected the myce...

The seed-borne mycoflora of sorghum and foxtail millet collected from different growing areas in South Korea were isolated and taxonomically identified using dry inspection, standard blotter and the agar plate method. We investigated the in vitro and in vivo germination rates of disinfected and non-disinfected seeds of sorghum and foxtail millet using sterilized and unsterilized soil. The perce...

Seed borne diseases are important constraints to maize production. Investigations were carried out to identify fungal infection of maize seed and determine its effect on seed germination. Studies on the effects of fungicides and essential oils from aromatic plants on the level of seed-borne F. moniliforme and its seed to seedling transmission were also part of the work. Blotter method was used ...

Seed health testing by studying the seed-borne fungi of soybean seeds is an important step in the management of the seed-borne diseases. In the present study seed-borne fungi was studied by using agar plate method. A number of seed-borne fungal species was isolated from the agar plate. These seed-borne fungal sps. were Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, Chaetomium globosum, Curvularia ...

Millet is a cereal of enormous importance with potentials in the agricultural systems and food security but it constitutes a neglected agrobiodiversity. Soil borne pathogenic fungi could be possible culprit to millet cultivation in southwestern Nigeria. Therefore, this study investigates the pathogenic effect of isolated Fusarium species from soil on millet seedlings under greenhouse conditions...
