The effect of antagonistic bacteria to control Macrophomina phaseolina was evaluated under in vitro, growth chamber, greenhouse and field conditions. A total 177 bacteria, isolated from Athrocaulon macrostachyum rhizosphere the Lebrija marsh, were screened for their potential against M. (causes charcoal rot strawberry) by dual culture assay. Of these isolates, 14 most promising strains molecula...

Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot in strawberry, induces plant wilting and collapse. The pathogen survives through production microsclerotia soil strawberry debris. However, its management is difficult, disease has become an increasing problem for industry. Physical, cultural, chemical alternatives integrated were evaluated laboratory field trials during 2017–18 2018–19 ...

Abies sibirica Ledeb.-dominated stands degradation is of special concern. Nevertheless, insufficient attention paid to the role pathogens in this process. The aim present study assess coenotic infectious diseases fir-dominated south Central Siberia. research was based on a forest pathological examination conducted A. sibirica-dominated Krasnoyarsk Krai. cenotic identified unequal. Stem decay an...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are potential agents to control plant pathogens and their combined use with biopesticides such as phosphites may constitute a novel strategy to incorporate in disease management programs. In the present study, 11 bacterial isolates were selected on the basis of their antagonistic activity against Macrophomina phaseolina in dual-culture tests, and thei...

Stem rot was found for the first time on the Asiatic dayflower plant (Commelina communis L.) in Korea. A detailed description of this Korean specimen is given, along with its rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequence. The fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo based on mycological characteristics and molecular data.

Pectobacterium atrosepticum strain CFBP6276 is a pectinolytic enterobacterium causing blackleg and soft rot of the stem and tuber of Solanum tuberosum. Its virulence is under the control of quorum sensing, with N-acylhomoserine lactones as communication signals. Here, we report the genome sequence of P. atrosepticum strain CFBP6276.

This work aimed to evaluate the energy quality of wood and charcoal obtained from stem root genus Eucalyptus spp. From wood, physical, chemical energetic properties were evaluated. For produced in ovens carbonization furnaces model industry a muffle furnace, Based on analysis technological properties, has higher basic density (731.45 kg m-3) lignin content (26.44%), however, fixed carbon calori...

Basal stem rot symptoms were found on blueberry seedlings imported from the United States of America in 2008. The fungus obtained from the diseased seedlings was identified as Calonectria colhounii based on morphological and molecular characteristics. The consignments of the blueberry seedlings infected with C. colhounii were destroyed to prevent introduction of the fungus to Korea.
