Colletotrichum tnmmtum NRRL 18434 is a host-specific pathogen of hemp sesbania (Sesbania exaltata), a weed in cotton, soybeans and rice. The bioherbicidal potential of C. tnmmhml microsclerotia (MS) was assessed based on the feasibility of prodUcing and storing microsclerotia and the efficacy of microsclerotia in controlling hemp sesbania. Microsclerotia were produced in highly aerated liquid c...

embryo culture were used to produce inter specific walnut hybrid plants between juglans nigra l. and j. regia l. developed ovaries were collected from j. rejia female flowers which were pollinated with j. nigra pollen grain by high dusting on a mature tree. in order to isolate embryos, exocarps were aseptically removed. isolated embryos from ovules at different developmental stages were transfe...

fertilizer, and manure. Thirty-one strains of Legionella were recovered (table 1). L. longbeachae serogroup 1 was isolated from 8 samples; L. bozemanii serogroup 1, 9; Legionella micdadei, 5; Legionella pneumophila serogroup 4, 1; and L. pneumophila serogroup 12, 1. An unidentifiable Legionella species was isolated from four soil samples; Legionella gormanii, Legionella birminghamensis, and Leg...
