Four bacterial strains, Pseudomonas chlororaphis (PA-23), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BS6), Pseudomonas sp. (DF41) and B. amyloliquefaciens (E16) which had been found to have biocontrol activity in vitro assays against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of stem rot of canola, were tested for their efficacy in greenhouse and field conditions. Microscopic studies showed that P. chlororaph...

Early detection of basal stem rot (BSR) disease in oil palm trees is important for the sustainable production limited land plantation Southeast Asia. However, previous studies based on satellite and aircraft hyperspectral remote sensing could not discriminate early-stage BSR from healthy or late-stage trees. In this study, imaging an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) machine learning using a random...

Lichens are symbiotic organisms that composed of fungal partners and photosynthetic algal partners. During the process in lichen thallus, fungus synthesizes certain secondary metabolites which lecanoric acid is very important terms antibiotic properties. Considering vital importance acid, present study aimed to produce from thallus Parmotrema austrosinense using Modified Bold’s basal salt mediu...

The importance of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as adult stem cells (ASCs) able to divide into a variety of different cells is of utmost importance for stem cell researches. In this study, the ability of cartilage extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue MSCs (rOT-MSCs) into chondrocyte cells (CCs) was investigated. After isolation of rOT-MSCs, they were co-cultured with...

In the study, 58 synthetic wheat lines and 6 bread varieties were used as material. Synthetic investigated for resistance to root rot under field conditions. laboratory conditions, 1 ml (1x106 spores/ml) of collar disease was inoculated into each tube at junction stem plant soil, week after seed sowing. terms rot, which is one important problems in Thrace region, it determined that showed prope...

Eighty-four mature Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst), silver fir (Abies alba Mill) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees were winched over to determine the maximum resistive turning moment (M(a)) of the root-soil system, the root-soil plate geometry, the azimuthal orientation of root growth, and the occurrence of root rot. The calculation of M(a), based on digital image tracking of stem...

Basal stem rot (BSR) disease occurs due to the most aggressive and threatening fungal attack of oil palm plant known as Ganoderma boninense (G. boninense). BSR is a that has significant impact on crops in Malaysia Indonesia. Currently, only sustainable strategy available extend life trees, there no effective treatment for disease. This study used thermal imagery identify features classify non-i...
