Monoconidial cultures of 15 isolates of Trichoderma harzianum were characterized on the basis of 82 morphological, physiological, and biochemical features and 99 isoenzyme bands from seven enzyme systems. The results were subjected to numerical analysis which revealed four distinct groups. Representative sequences of the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS 1)-ITS 2 region in the ribosomal DNA ge...

Minute 3. New taxa. New taxa described since the last meeting on 4 July 2001 are Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense Yao et al. [Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 52 (2002), 2219–2230], Bradyrhizobium betae Rivas et al. [Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 54 (2004), 1271–1275], Rhizobium indigoferae Wei et al. [Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 52 (2002), 2231–2239], Rhizobium loessense Wei et al. [Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 53...

Net photosynthesis is stimulated in third seedling leaves of barley plants whose lower two leaves are heavily infected by Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei Marchal. Stimulation is greater in water-stressed than in well-watered plants. In stressed, but not in well-watered plants, stimulation is associated with the maintenance of high leaf water potential and high leaf conductance. A small part of t...

the compatibility studies of pseudomonas fluorescens (pf1) with azoxystrobin at differ-ent concentrations viz., 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 ppm revealed that it was compatible with all the concentrations of azoxystrobin tested and the growth of the bacterium was unaffected even at the maximum concentration of 300 ppm. the field experiment revealed a foliar application of pf1 (2.5 kg ha-1) and az...

Antifungal activity of 2-hydroxy 4,4'6'trimethoxy chalcone individually was tested against spore germination of ten fungi of different genera. Efficacy of the chemical was also tested against conidial germination and other growth parameters of Erysiphe pisi on excised pea leaves. 2-Hydroxy 4,4'6'trimethoxy chalcone inhibited spore germination at all the concentrations. Maximum inhibition was ob...

Lagerstroemia indica is a widely grown ornamental shrub or small tree that has become naturalised and invasive in many tropical subtropical regions of the world. often used to provide shade around parking areas, for median strip plantings along roads, also planted domestic gardens (CABI, 2019). The was introduced 2007 improve landscaping Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Between August October 2020, powder...

1-Corydalmine,an alkaloid isolated from roots of Corydalis chaerophylla inhibited spore germination of some plant pathogenic as well as saprophytic fungi e.g. Alternaria brassicae, A. brassicicola, A. solani, Curvularia lunata, C. maculans, C. sp., C. pallscens, Erysiphe pisi, Fusarium udum, Helminthosporium species,H. penniseti and a Heterosporium species. 1-Corydalmine significantly inhibited...
