Volatiles of Stenotrophomonas, Serratia, and Bacillus species inhibited mycelial growth of many fungi and Arabidopsis thaliana (40 to 98%), and volatiles of Pseudomonas species and Burkholderia cepacia retarded the growth to lesser extents. Aspergillus niger and Fusarium species were resistant, and B. cepacia and Staphylococcus epidermidis promoted the growth of Rhizoctonia solani and A. thalia...

abstract fluorescens pseudomonads can suppress soil-borne plant pathogens by employing several mechanisms such as competition for iron by means of siderophores. three indigenous strains pseudomonas fluorescens (utpf5, utpf61 and utpf76), pseudomonas aeruginosa 7nsk2 and its pyoverdin mutant, mpfm1, were used for investigation the effect of iron competition on bean damping-off suppression. the r...

Rodriguezia granadensis (Lindl.) Rchb. f. es una orquídea epífita que crece sobre árboles, en zonas poco intervenidas. Para la germinación de sus semillas y los estadios iniciales su desarrollo forma relaciones simbióticas con hongos micorrícicos, cuales, brindan nutrientes necesita. En el municipio Fusagasugá esta especie condiciones naturales debido a belleza flores promisoria para producción...

Application of biochar, a pyrolyzed biomass from organic sources, to agricultural soils is considered a promising strategy to sustain soil fertility leading to increased plant productivity. It is also known that applications of biochar to soilless potting substrates and to soil increases resistance of plants against diseases, but also bear the potential to have inconsistent and contradictory re...

Eucalyptus es el género de árboles madera dura más cultivado mundialmente, valorado por su rendimiento y la calidad para múltiples usos; sin embargo, los patógenos como Rhizoctonia Cylindrocladium ponen en riesgo establecimiento del cultivo, debido a que causan muerte plántulas vivero. Dentro las estrategias manejo se recomienda desinfección sustrato, siendo solarización una alternativa eficaz ...

From the seeds of Acacia confusa, a chitinase-like antifungal protein designated as acaconin that demonstrated antifungal activity toward Rhizoctonia solani with an IC₅₀ of 30±4 µM was isolated. Acaconin demonstrated an N-terminal sequence with pronounced similarity to chitinases and a molecular mass of 32 kDa. It was isolated by chromatography on Q-Sepharose, SP-Sepharose and Superdex 75 and w...

ABSTRACT The impact of Brassica napus seed meal on the microbial complex that incites apple replant disease was evaluated in greenhouse trials. Regardless of glucosinolate content, seed meal amendment at a rate of 0.1% (vol/vol) significantly enhanced growth of apple and suppressed apple root infection by Rhizoctonia spp. and Pratylenchus penetrans. High glucosinolate B. napus cv. Dwarf Essex s...

The aim of this study was to inventory the types of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) present in the rhizosphere of plants grown in soils contaminated with heavy metals, recalcitrant organics, petroleum sewage or salinity in China. We screened 1223 isolates for antifungal activity and about 24% inhibited Rhizoctonia solani or Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Twenty-four strains inhibitory to...

Rhizoctonia solani agglutinin, further referred to as RSA, is a lectin isolated from the plant pathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani. Previously, we reported a high entomotoxic activity of RSA towards the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis. To better understand the mechanism of action of RSA, Drosophila melanogaster Schneider S2 cells were treated with different concentrations of the lectin a...

Dry root rot (DRR) caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler, is an emerging disease in chickpea. The disease is often mistaken with other root rots like Fusarium wilt, collar rot and black root rot in chickpea. Therefore, its timely and specific detection is important. Current detection protocols are either based on mycological methods or on protocols involving DNA amplificati...
