Postharvest deterioration has been a major problem associated with yam storage for both famers and traders it is caused mostly by micro-organisms especially fungi. During the of yam, many organisms such as Aspergillus flavus, niger, Penicillium citrinum Rhizopus stolonifer are often reported to cause rotting stored yams. The aim this research find out antifungal effect some commonly used anti-d...

The mycobiota of various plants used for food and fodder purposes in Azerbaijan was studied the presented paper. It shown that 127 species fungi participate formation from 19 plants, 115 which belong to (mycota) 12 mushroom-like organisms (chromistan fungi). 38 reported mushrooms can spread throughout territory Azerbaijan, their frequency occurrence ranges 3.4 54.3%. Among characterizing by dis...

Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is a major evolutionary mechanism in prokaryotes. Knowledge about LGT--particularly, multicellular--eukaryotes has only recently started to accumulate. A widespread assumption sees the gene as the unit of LGT, largely because little is yet known about how LGT chances are affected by structural/functional features at the subgenic level. Here we trace the evolutionary ...

Bananas are important crops in developing countries with tropical climate. In Mexico, the banana production has increased, and it must be guaranteed. The Panama disease, caused by fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense threatens current production, for what is necessary to implement methods protect this crop. Fungi from genus Trichoderma natural residents of rhizosphere. This comprises mycopar...

BACKGROUND Medicinal plants are used by many ethnic groups as a source of medicine for the treatment of various ailments in both humans and domestic animals. These plants produce secondary metabolites that have antimicrobial properties, thus screening of medicinal plants provide another alternative for producing chemical fungicides that are relatively non-toxic and cost-effective. MATERIALS A...

Transcription factors in phytopathogenic fungi are key players due to their gene expression regulation leading fungal growth and pathogenicity. The KilA-N family encompasses transcription unique fungi, the Bqt4 subfamily is included it poorly understood filamentous fungi. In this study, we evaluated role pathogenesis of homologous Bqt4, FspTF, Fusarium sp. isolated from ambrosia beetle Xylosand...

A set of N-arylbenzenesulfonamides with various substituents at the arylamine and benzenesulfonyl positions were prepared, and their antifungal properties were measured in vitro against such plant pathogenic fungi as Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, and Botrytis cinerea. Compounds 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24 and 27 had antifungal activity over a broad spectr...
