pyricularia oryzae (tel. magnaporthegrisea) is currently used as a fungal model for plantmicrobeinteraction studies as well as an indicative model for anticancer drug discovery. thepresent study introduces the optimal condition in which p. oryzae grows and sporulates beston common culture media. we have considered three fungal culture media, i.e. pda, pca andwa, based on which p. oryzae sporula...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit is an important component of the diet but pathogens are a threat to its availability. The purpose this research work was identify fungi associated with tomato rot and study their biomass in different carbon nitrogen sources. Four varieties were employed study: two local (Hausa Yoruba land races) improved (Tropimech Roma VF). Freshly harvested fruits collec...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the hemodynamic status of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) by measuring vena contracta width (VCW) and effective shunt orifice area (ESOA) using proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) on color Doppler imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS: Study subjects were 21 patients with PDA (mean age, 3.6 years). We measured VCW (mm/m(2)) and ESOA (cm(2)) by the PISA method using echocardio...

Abstract Aqueous extracts of plants with proven biostimulant activity may have the potential to inhibit growth and development plant diseasecausing fungi. The use in such a role has many advantages including fact that are biodegradable, less costly, readily available. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate aqueous infusions, decoctions, macerates extracted from burdock roots, wormwood leaves, l...

Background & Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the antifungal effect of the watercress extract on the growth of Fusarium solani, the causal agent of potato dry rot. Experimental:  This research was done in a completely randomized design with three concentrations and four replicates on potato dextrose agar (PDA) culture medium. Results: Results of this study indicated that all ...

ABSTRACT Lentinus tigrinus is a significant edible and medicinal mushroom. It was collected from University of the Punjab, Lahore under Morus tree. For domestication this wild species, its three parameters i.e., culturability, spawn production cultivation potential were assessed using different synthetic culture media substrates. Completely randomized design used to determine all effects evalua...
