Efficient killing of nematodes by Stropharia rugosoannulata Farlow ex Murrill cultures was observed. This fungus showed the ability to immobilize the free-living nematode Panagrellus redivivus Goodey within minutes and to immobilize the pine wilt nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer) Nickle within hours on agar plates. Moreover, P. redivivus worms were completely degraded by th...

Howard, Dexter H. (University of California, Los Angeles). Intracellular growth of Histoplasma capsulatum. J. Bacteriol. 89:518-523. 1965.-Under a variety of experimental conditions, the generation time of Histoplasma capsulatum in mammalian histiocytes was remarkably constant. The rate of intracellular growth of five different isolates of H. capsulatum was very similar. The generation time of ...

safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) of the family asteraceae is an annual broadleaf oilseed crop with 35-40 % oil. it was originated from southern asia and is known to have been cultivated in china, india, iran and egypt. in iran the safflower cultivation area has increased over 10000 ha in 2008. some pathogenic fungi such as pythium ultimum, phytophthora drechsleri, puccinia carthami, and fusa...

High nutrient availability and defoliation generally reduce ectomycorrhizal colonization levels in trees, but it is not known how this affects the functional aspects of mycorrhizal symbiosis. It was therefore investigated whether (1) defoliation or increasing substrate N availability reduce C allocation from the plant to the fungus and N allocation from the fungus to the plant (symbiotic resour...

purpose: this investigation was undertaken to evaluate the potency of metarhizium anisoplea as a biological alternative to the biological control of german cockroaches. materials & methods: the fungal spores were applied against the male and female german cockroach, using two bioassay methods, viz the submerge application and the injection. the data was analysed and the mean mortality was ...

most essential oil extraction from medicine plant have shown the properties of antimicrobial of parasites, bacteria, fungi and viruses. the fungus from genus of fusarium is one of the prevalent crop disease that infect a wide range of crops. fusarium solani is one of the species of this fungus genus that various crops are host for it. a lab experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of ...

The anamorphic fungus genus Periconia is worldwide in distribution and causes foliar disease on plants mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. This study presents the description and illustration of P. palmivora discovered on leaves of Phoenix dactylifera (Palmae/Arecaceae) from Terai forest region of Uttar Pradesh, India. The taxonomic determination was based on morphological characteristi...

Seedlings of Corchorus capsularis (cv. C4444) were inoculated with Meloidogyne incognita, Hoplolaimus indicus, and a fungus pathogen of jute, Macrophomina phaseoli, separately and in all possible combinations. The significant damage of jute plants caused individually by the pathogens was aggravated when the fungus was associated with either of the nematode species. M. incognita alone caused gre...

■ Abstract The blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea causes a serious disease on a wide variety of grasses including rice, wheat, and barley. Rice blast is the most serious disease of cultivated rice and therefore poses a threat to the world’s most important food security crop. Here, I review recent progress toward understanding the molecular biology of plant infection by M. grisea, which involves de...

The endophytic fungus Penicillium restrictum was isolated from the stems of a milk thistle (Silybum marianum) plant. In culture, the fungus produced distinct red guttates, which have been virtually uninvestigated, particularly from the standpoint of chemistry. Hence, this study examined the chemical mycology of P. restrictum and, in doing so, uncovered a series of both known and new polyhydroxy...
