DOUDA O. (2005): Host range and growth of Stem and Bulb Nematode (Ditylenchus dipsaci) populations isolated from garlic and chicory. Plant Protect. Sci., 41: 104–108. Host range and growth of two Ditylenchus dipsaci (Stem and Bulb Nematode) populations on onion, garlic, leek, spinach and chicory were compared. Inoculation was conducted by placing a droplet of 1.5% CMC suspension containing nema...

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is a major source of natural fiber and an important cash crop. The cotton growth habit architecture determine its productivity influence management strategies for commercial production. GATA transcription factors (TFs) control various developmental processes in plants, such as flower, bract embryo development, petal differentiation. As stable transformation still bottlen...

It is known that plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) elicit positive effects on plant growth and biomass yield. However, the actual mechanism behind the plant-PGPB interaction is poorly understood, and the literature is scarce regarding the thermochemical pretreatability and enzymatic degradability of biomass derived from PGPB-inoculated plants. Most recent transcriptional analyses of PGPB s...

Transcripts were produced in vitro by run-off transcription from full-length cDNA of RNA1 and RNA2 of grapevine fanleaf nepovirus (GFLV; isolate F13) cloned downstream from a bacteriophage RNA polymerase promoter. These transcripts, which possess a 5' terminal cap structure and a non-viral G residue instead of the naturally occurring genome-linked viral protein (VPg), are infectious to Chenopod...

Not much is known about the mechanism of endophyte-mediated induction of secondary metabolite production in Catharanthus roseus. In the present study two fungal endophytes, Curvularia sp. CATDLF5 and Choanephora infundibulifera CATDLF6 were isolated from the leaves of the plant that were found to enhance vindoline content by 229-403%. The isolated endophytes did not affect the primary metabolis...

St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) cv FX-313 was used as a model laboratory host for monitoring population growth of the sting nematode, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, and for quantifying the effects of sting nematode parasitism on host performance in two samples of autoclaved native Margate fine sand with contrasting amounts of organic matter (OM = 7.9% and 3.8%). Following inoculation ...

Studies on Rhizobium-legume symbiosis show that trehalose content in nodules under drought stress correlates positively with an increase in plant tolerance to this stress. Fewer reports describe trehalose accumulation in mycorrhiza where, in contrast with rhizobia, there is no flux of carbohydrates from the microsymbiont to the plant. However, the trehalose dynamics in the Mycorrhiza-Rhizobium-...

ABSTRACT- The increasing population and the pastures inability to meet food needs in livestock have led to the increase of cultivates forage plants. In order to evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) extract on the growth and concentration of macronutrient and micronutrient contents of  forage sorghum (Sorghum vulgare), an experiment was...

Trichoderma fungi are promising candidates for biocontrol agents and plant growth promoters. atrobrunneum T. simmonsii were evaluated the control of soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi, in present study. Dual culture tests with Rhizoctonia solani Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici used to conduct vitro evaluation. In presence Trichoderma, phytopathogen’s rate was inhibited up 59.70% R. 42.57% F...

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an aromatic plant that yields secondary metabolites, continuously used for the readiness of food and medicines. The current study conducted to assess impact inoculation mycorrhiza on growth Trigonella foenum-graecum in different soil samples. presents two arrangements treatment experimental control pots. Different samples were obtained from areas In pots...
