Enhanced defense responses in Pythium ultimum-challenged cucumber plants induced by potassium phosphite
Pythium ultimum is one of the major causative agents responsible for damping off disease in cucumber plants. In the present study, the effect of potassium phosphite (KPhi) on defense response of P. ultimum-inoculated cucumber plants was investigated. Different plant growth parameters as well as chlorophyll a content were studied to evaluate the healing effec...
متن کاملEliminating of Pathogenic Soil Borne Pythium Species Spreading Across the Marine Port of Duba
Pythium species are considered the most important soil born fungi. They are facultative heterotrophic microorganisms. Under proper conditions, it become highly virulent to plants (depending on the species), causing many diseases, especially in the first stages of growth. These fungi abound in heavy agricultural soil and Egypt is an important source for such fungi that can be transmitted to anot...
متن کاملImproving field establishment of safflower in soils infected by Phytophthora drechsleri and Pythium ultimum
One of the major field constraints to seed production in safflower has proven tobe soil born pathogens, Phytophthora drechsleri and Pythium ultimum. In order toevaluate the efficiency of a field-laboratory selection method to improve resistanceof safflower against soil born pathogens, Ph. drechsleri and P. ultimum, a two-yearinvestigation was conducted. The results showed that selection is an e...
متن کاملThe Pythium suppressive ability of Glomus intraradices in cherry tomato propagation
This experiment aims at establishing the ability of the endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices to suppress the plant pathogen Pythium ultimum in cherry tomato. A study published in Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology in 1994 showed that Glomus intraradices suppresses Pythium ultimum in Tagetes patula (french marigold) (St-Arnaud, Fortin, Caron, & Hamel, 1994). Pythium ultimum and other Pyth...
متن کاملCyclic Lipopeptide Surfactant Production by Pseudomonas fluorescens SS101 Is Not Required for Suppression of Complex Pythium spp. Populations.
ABSTRACT Previously, the zoosporicidal activity and control of Pythium root rot of flower bulbs by Pseudomonas fluorescens SS101 was attributed, in part, to the production of the cyclic lipopeptide surfactant massetolide A. The capacity of strain SS101 and its surfactant-deficient massA mutant 10.24 to suppress populations and root infection by complex Pythium spp. communities resident in orcha...
