Strain KJ1R5 of the rhizobacterium ITALIC! Chryseobacterium kwangjuenseis an effective biocontrol agent against Phytophthora blight of pepper caused by a destructive soilborne oomycete, ITALIC! Phytophthora capsici Here, we present the draft genome sequence of strain KJ1R5, which contains genes related to biocontrol, plant growth promotion, and environmental stress adaptation.

We will first prepare reference antisera to total proteins of P. cinnamomi and P. citricola. The protein profile of each fungus will be analyzed by SDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis(PAGE). By this procedure, fungal proteins are driven by an electric current and are separated into bands in a gel medium. The distance of the movement of each protein is dictated by its size. The protein bands ...

the reaction of nineteen different cultivars of cucurbita spp. including cucurbita pepo, cucurbita maxima and lagenaria siceraria to phytophthora capsici, phytophthora melonis and phytophthora drechsleri was studied under greenhouse conditions. plants were grown in steam sterilized soil. one-month-old plants were inoculated with vermiculate hempseed extract inocula of phytophthora and were floo...

The activity and expression levels of alcohol dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and non-specific soluble esterase were compared in the seven species (C. lyoni, Hersilia sp. Oxyopes sp., Menemerus bivittatus, Leucauge decorata, Selenops sp. and Cyrtophora citricola) from the semi-arid habitat of Agra region. Three predominant non-specific esterases loci (Est1, Est2 and Est3) were ...

In vitro dose responses of several calcium and potassium salts were determined on some commercially significant plant pathogens, including: Helminthosporium solani, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi race 2, Colletotricum coccodes, Phytophthora cactorum, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Phytophthora erythroseptica, Phytophthora infestans, Phytophthora megasperma, Pythium ultimum, and Venturia inaequalis. My...

Elicitins are a family of structurally related proteins that induce hypersensitive response in specific plant species. Two Phytophthora infestans cDNAs, inf2A and inf2B, potentially encoding novel elicitin-like proteins, were isolated from a cDNA library made from infected potato tissue. Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses of 19 elicitins and elicitin-like proteins from nine ...
