White clover (Trifolium repens) plants were grown in the presence or absence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. Flavones, 4',5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone, as well as two flavones 3,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone never previously reported in plants, were isolated. The known 3,5,6,7...

Abstract Background Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is considered one of the most important diseases that cause economic losses to many crops and spread in regions around world, especially subtropical tropics some warm temperate world. In this study aqueous plant extract Rosemarinus officinalis Pseudomonas fluorescens for their antagonistic activity against bacterial vitro, gree...

in the present study, the effects of two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, glomus mosseae andglomus intraradices, alone and in combination, on the growth parameters, chlorophyll and the root-rot disease of pea (pisum sativum) caused by fusarium solani f.sp. pisi were evaluated under greenhouse conditions. eight different treatments in four replications were designed in randomized blocks. compared w...

Rhizobium leguminosarum synthesizes polyhydroxybutyrate and glycogen as its main carbon storage compounds. To examine the role of these compounds in bacteroid development and in symbiotic efficiency, single and double mutants of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae were made which lack polyhydroxybutyrate synthase (phaC), glycogen synthase (glgA), or both. For comparison, a single phaC mutant also was i...

The effect of tobacco etch virus (TEV) (Genus: Potyvirus, Family: Potyviridae) on growth and yield of Capsicum chinense Jacquin cv. ‘Scotch Bonnet’ and ‘West Indian Red’ peppers was investigated. Peppers were manually inoculated at 7, 28 and 56-57 days after transplanting (DAT), which corresponded with early vegetative stage, onset of flowering and completion of first stage of flowering, respec...

Strawberry anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum J.H. Simmonds, is one of the most important diseases of this crop in Huelva (southwestern Spain). Lesions can occur on all parts of the plant but anthracnose crown rot is specially severe leading to wilt and death of plants. In this work, the infection and colonization process of C. acutatum on strawberry plants was studied. ‘Camarosa’ s...

Phytophthora root and stem rot due to sojae is a major constraint of soybean production. This study evaluated the combined effect P. inoculation flooding on growth seedlings. The cultivar ‘Enrei’ was grown in greenhouse pots containing vermiculite containers field soil. plants were inoculated with two isolates subjected flooding. ratio dead live ranged from 0 0.32 across all treatments. Pathoge...

Meloidogyne hapla-resistant plants grown from cuttings and inoculated with M. hapla larvae were free of galls. However, 35 to 48% of the seedling intercross progeny of resistant genotypes that were inoculated in the germinated seed stage were galled. There was an inverse relationship between the age of plants grown from seed and the percentage of plants galled by M. hapla; the older the plants ...
