The yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans PL5 is a microbial antagonist against postharvest pathogens of fruits. The strain is able to produce hydrolases, including glucanases, chitinases and proteases. The alkaline serine protease gene ALP5 from A. pullulans was cloned, inserted into the vector pPIC9 to construct pPIC9/ALP5, and then expressed in Pichia pastoris strain KM71. ALP5 had a mol...

introduction: the early blight of tomato caused by alternaria alternata is one of the most important and destructive diseases in khuzestan province. study genetic structure of a. alternata populations provides different levels of information in the management of early blight disease in tomato farms. short sequence repeat (ssr) markers were used to determine the genetic structure and estimate ge...

The seed-borne mycoflora of sorghum and foxtail millet collected from different growing areas in South Korea were isolated and taxonomically identified using dry inspection, standard blotter and the agar plate method. We investigated the in vitro and in vivo germination rates of disinfected and non-disinfected seeds of sorghum and foxtail millet using sterilized and unsterilized soil. The perce...

Leaf senescence plays a vital role in nutrient recycling and overall capacity to assimilate carbon dioxide. Cotton premature leaf senescence, often accompanied with unexpected short-term low temperature, has been occurring with an increasing frequency in many cotton-growing areas and causes serious reduction in yield and quality of cotton. The key factors for causing and promoting cotton premat...

Tomato plants are subject to attacks by different types of fungi most which destructive and cause plant death. Extensive researches were carried out attempting find safe easily degradable bio-fungicides with minimum adverse effects. Therefore, naturally originated indigenous products generally considered excellent alternative phytopathogen controlling agents. In recent study we evaluated the an...

Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler strain PPRI 21032 was isolated from onion leaves collected in Roodeplaat, Pretoria, South Africa. The whole genome of this strain was sequenced and produced a total of 33.12 Mb with a GC content of 50.9%. The whole genome comprises 11,701 predicted coding sequences.

The investigation was carried out at the laboratory of Plant Pathology Department, SASRD, Nagaland University (NU), Medziphema Campus, Nagaland, India during year kharif (August-October, 2020) to evaluate antagonistic potentiality Trichoderma spp. (T. harzianum, T. asperellum and virens) against three diseases pigeonpea viz. Alternaria leaf spot (Alternaria alternata), Collar rot (Sclerotium ro...

Tuberculosis of the tonsils is by no means a common condition, Mullin (1923), for example, in analysing 400 tonsillectomies found only 4.25 per cent cases of tuberculous tonsils. The present study is based on 2,477 tonsillectomies in the Madras General Hospital. This series covers a period of five years from January 1928 to December 1932. We, however, feel that this investigation is incomplete ...
