Agrobacterium tumefaciens stimulated and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici inhibited development and reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita when applied to the opposite split root of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Tropic, plants. The lowest rate of nematode reproduction occurred after 2,000 juveniles were applied and the fungus was present in the opposite split root. The effects of all ...

fusarium wilt of melon is a destructive fungal disease throughout the world. in this study, the evolutionary relationships among isolates of different formae speciales of fusarium oxysporum was examined, with a special emphasis on the forma specialis melonis. bootstrapped maximum likelihood analysis of the elongation factor-1α (ef-1α) sequence was conducted on 16 iranian and 11 foreign isolates...

background peganum harmala, glycyrrhiza glabra, mentha spicata and rosmarinus officinalis are often used in traditional medicine. objectives the current study aimed to screen the antifungal activity of ethanolic extracts of p. harmala, g. glabra, m. spicata and r. officinalis leaves collected from sistan region, iran against fusarium oxysporum. methods minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) and...

Gordon, T. R., Okamoto, D., and Jacobson, D. J. 1989. Colonization of muskmelon and nonsusceptible crops by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis and other species of Fusarium. Phytopathology 79:4095-1100. The ability of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis to colonize roots abundance of the four fungi was similar on all seven crops; nonpathoof a susceptible muskmelon cultivar and six crop species rot...

A Gram-negative bacterial isolate, named PG4, was recovered from the rhizosphere of a tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Burley) and was identified as Lysobacter capsici based on the sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA and characteristics in the Biolog Identification System. Strain PG4 showed chitinase and protease activity and was able to inhibit the growth of a broad range of p...

a study was carried out to determine whether naturally-occurring weeds and other cultivated plants in tomato growing regions could act as symptomless reservoirs of infection to fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. a numher of f. oxysporum isolates from weeds and oubergines were used in this investigation. a susceptible tomato cultivar was used for comparison. the plants were artificially ...

Fusarium oxysporum is a soil-inhabiting fungus that induces vascular wilt and root rot in a variety of plants. F. oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans (Foc), which comprises two races, can cause wilt disease in cabbage. Compared with race 1 (52557(-TM), R1), race 2 (58385(-TM), R2) exhibits much stronger pathogenicity. Here, we provide the first proteome reference maps for Foc mycelium and conidia and...

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi (Fop) is one of the most destructive diseases of pea worldwide. Control of this disease is difficult and it is mainly based on the use of resistant cultivars. While monogenic resistance has been successfully used in the field, it is at risk of breakdown by the constant evolution of the pathogen. New sources of quantitative resistance have b...

PURPOSE Fusarium solani and F. oxysporum were the causative organisms of the 2005/2006 outbreak of contact lens-associated fungal keratitis in the United States. The present study was an investigation of the ability of F. oxysporum grown as a biofilm on silicone hydrogel contact lenses to induce keratitis. METHODS A clinical isolate of F. oxysporum was grown as a biofilm on lotrafilcon A cont...
