Organic farming is becoming increasingly popular because it leads to healthier products. Due limitations on the use of chemical protection, however, plants may be more susceptible pathogen attacks. Therefore, aim study was determine occurrence fungal diseases in maize grown organic versus integrated systems. The field experiment conducted during years 2017–2019 Puławy, Poland. Three varieties, ...

Abstract Background Early blight disease of tomato caused by pathogenic fungi Alternaria solani is the most significant and common throughout world as well in Kingdom Saudi Arabia. The aim this study was to isolate identify native Trichoderma species from Jeddah region Arabia; evaluate their antagonistic potential against A. ; influence early severity greenhouse open field. Results present focu...

Present experiment was conducted at College of Horticulture, Bengaluru (KA) during year 2017–18 to study the cultural, morphological and biochemical variations among isolates pathogen Alternaria solani, causal agent early blight disease in tomato. The results revealed variation collected from different regions Karnataka state, India with regard colony characteristics viz., colour, mycelial grow...

The fungal allergen, Alternaria, is specifically associated with severe asthma, including life-threatening exacerbations. To better understand the acute innate airway response to Alternaria, naive wild-type (WT) mice were challenged once intranasally with Alternaria. Naive WT mice developed significant bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophilia following Alternaria challenge when analyzed 24 h later. ...

Fungal spores are known to trigger allergic respiratory diseases. Very little is known about airborne fungal spore presence in Trieste. This paper reports the seasonal (June-October) Alternaria (1993-2004) and Epicoccum (1994-2004) spore concentrations during these years, using a Hirst sampler. Daily spore counts fluctuate considerably from one day to the next. Airborne spores of Alternaria and...

In this paper, thermal (8-13 µm) and hyperspectral imaging in visible and near infrared (VNIR) and short wavelength infrared (SWIR) ranges were used to elaborate a method of early detection of biotic stresses caused by fungal species belonging to the genus Alternaria that were host (Alternaria alternata, Alternaria brassicae, and Alternaria brassicicola) and non-host (Alternaria dauci) pathogen...

BACKGROUND The fungal allergen Alternaria alternata is implicated in severe asthma and rapid onset life-threatening exacerbations of disease. However, the mechanisms that underlie this severe pathogenicity remain unclear. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the mechanism whereby Alternaria was capable of initiating severe, rapid onset allergic inflammation. METHODS IL-33 levels were quantifi...
