fusarium wilt of chickpea, caused by fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, is one of the most important diseases of this plant in iran. in order to control this disease biologically, fluorescent pseudomonas were isolated from the rhizosphere of chickpea plants and enumerated using king’s medium b (kb). antifungal activity of 80 bacterial isolates against fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris was evalu...

The experiment was conducted on the effects of some mulching materials and tomato cultivars growth parameters wilt disease tomato. design used 3 x 4 factorial in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), four (4) replications. work carried out 2015 cropping seasona at Teaching Research Farm School Agriculture Agricultural Technology, Federal University Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. incidence were ...

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) is a gram-positive actinomycete, causing bacterial wilt and canker disease in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Host responses to gram-positive bacteria and molecular mechanisms associated with the development of disease symptoms caused by Cmm in tomato are largely unexplored. To investigate plant responses activated during this compatible inter...

Hunt et al. (2) and Norton (4) showed that the northern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hap/a Chitwood, increased the incidence of bacterial wilt in alfalfa. Hunt et al. (2) also f o u n d t h e b a c t e r i a l wilt organism, Corynebacterium insidiosum (McCuU) H. L. Jens., in plant tissue that had been inoculated only with the bacteria. This would indicate that the role of M. hapla is somethi...

Both biotic and abiotic stressors can elicit broad-spectrum plant resistance against subsequent pathogen challenges. However, we currently have little understanding of how such effects influence broader aspects of disease ecology and epidemiology in natural environments where plants interact with multiple antagonists simultaneously. In previous work, we have shown that healthy wild gourd plants...

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of recently discovered non-coding RNAs, play a role in biological and developmental processes. A recent study showed that circRNAs exist in plants and play a role in their environmental stress responses. However, cotton circRNAs and their role in Verticillium wilt response have not been identified up to now. In this study, two CSSLs (chromosome segment substitu...

BACKGROUND Programmed cell death plays an important role in mediating plant adaptive responses to the environment such as the invasion of pathogens. Verticillium wilt, caused by the necrotrophic pathogen Verticillium dahliae, is a serious vascular disease responsible for great economic losses to cotton, but the molecular mechanisms of verticillium disease and effective, safe methods of resistan...

ABSTRACT In the Mediterranean Basin, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris and the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne artiellia coinfect chickpea. The influence of root infection (after inoculation with 20 nematode eggs and second-stage juveniles per gram of soil) by two M. artiellia populations, from Italy and Syria, on the reaction of chickpea lines and cultivars with partial resistance to Fusarium w...
