Bioassays - Critical to Biocontrol of Plant Disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Bioassays are frequently used by plant pathologists for studies related to disease resistance. fungicides, nematicides, and biocontrol agents. Their use was perfected with the development of chemical control agents. Bioassays were standardized as a result of cooperation among individuals. committees, industry and professional societies. Bioassays for biocontrol of plant disease have not been extensively developed. Considerable variation and diversity often exists with these bioassays because of the difficulty of standardizing two microorganisms and a plant host along with environmental conditions. However, the progress ond experience recorded to date arc evidence that bioassays can be used successfully to discover, develop and monitor biocontrol agents and biocontrol systems. More research on bioassays for biocontrol is needed and will increase the development of biocontrol technology for plant disease.

In this study, two isolates of genus Microdochium (W2 and B26) was isolated from the roots of healthy barley plants in agricultural fields from Kermanshah province in 2014 and were identified as Microdochium bolleyi based on morphological and molecular characteristics. Dual culture studies revealed that W2 and B26 inhibit 45% and 20% of the radial growth of Ggt in tur...

متن کاملBiocontrol strategy, Compost, Soil-borne pathogens management
The effect of different compost-soil ratios on the incidence of Pythium aphanidermatum causing tomato damping off was tested in a greenhouse experiment. The inoculum density of 5% was determined to be suitable for inoculation in compost experiments based on investigations of disease incidence with 5, 10 and 20% inoculum densities. To evaluate the effect of compost on incidence of tomato damping...
متن کاملTvbgn3, a -1,6-Glucanase from the Biocontrol Fungus Trichoderma virens, Is Involved in Mycoparasitism and Control of Pythium ultimum
Even though -1,6-glucanases have been purified from several filamentous fungi, the physiological function has not been conclusively established for any species. In the present study, the role of Tvbgn3, a -1,6glucanase from Trichoderma virens, was examined by comparison of wild-type (WT) and transformant strains in which Tvbgn3 was disrupted (GKO) or constitutively overexpressed (GOE). Gene exp...
