Macrophomina phaseolina has a wide host range and is responsible for causing losses on m cultivated and wild plant species. So far in Pakistan it has been reported to cause disease on hosts including field crops, pulses, flowers and vegetable have been reported. Infection on s first reported from Sri Lanka in 1927 and in 1982 it was reported from sunflower field in fungus is reported to be soil...

Prunus is an economically important genus with a wide range of physiological and biological variability. Using the peach genome as a reference, sequencing reads from four almond accessions and one sweet cherry cultivar were used for comparative analysis of these three Prunus species. Reference mapping enabled the identification of many biological relevant polymorphisms within the individuals. E...

the use of natural compounds to control plant pathogens lead to reduction in using fungicides. chitosan with duble effects, control pathogenic microorganisms and activate inducing defence responses, has been shown to be a reliable nontoxic material in the plant-pathogen interaction. the aim of this research was to consider the effects of chitosan and calcium chloride on decay and quality attrib...

To degrade the polysaccharides, wood-decay fungi secrete a variety of glycoside hydrolases (GHs) and carbohydrate esterases (CEs) classified into various sequence-based families of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZys) and their appended carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM). Oxidative enzymes, such as cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO, formerly GH61), also ...

rapd markers through an application of 23 decamer primers were employed for genetic diversity analysis of some sweet cherry cultivars. bands with good resolution and high repeatability were selected for evaluations. the 23 primers produced 188 bands, among which, 153 were polymorphic. cluster analysis of the cultivars was performed based on the presence (1) and absence (0) of the bands, using j...

Pseudomonas viridiflava causes foliar and stem necrosis, as well as stem and root rot on a wide range of plants. We report here the first complete genome of a P. viridiflava strain, isolated from diseased tissue of a cherry tree.
