UNLABELLED During a screening for potential plant disease control actinomycetes, a total of 133 strains were isolated from Saharan soil samples of seven Algerian regions by dilution technique on chitin-vitamins agar medium. Screening for antagonistic properties using streak assay method showed that 25% of isolates demonstrated strong activities against a wide range of plant pathogenic fungi. Du...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most economically important and destructive fungal diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Golestan province, one of the most important zones of wheat cultivation in Iran, is also known for its high rate of digestive tract cancer, which has been attributed to many biotic factors such as fungal toxins. In order to investigate the distribution of toxicog...

Pre-harvest contamination of forage maize by mycotoxin producing Fusarium species was investigated in the UK in 2011 and 2012. A total of 15 Fusarium species were identified from a collection of 1,761 Fusarium isolates recovered from maize stalks and kernels. This study characterized the diversity of Fusarium species present in forage maize in the UK. The predominant species detected were F. gr...

to determine the role of fusarium species associated with sugar beet root  and crown rot, diseased samples were collected  from different fields of sugar beet in iran including khorasan, khuzestan west azarbayejan, qazvin, tehran, kermanshah ,kerman,lorestan ,hamedan,charmahal va bachtiary provinces during growing seasons 1999-2002. in total, 94 isolates of fusarium were obtained. based on morp...

background: identification and quantification of mycotoxins produced by fusarium species are important in controlling fungal diseases. objectives: potential of zearalenone, butenolide and fusarin c production was investigated in five fusarium graminearum and five f. culmorum isolates at molecular level. materials and methods: presence of pks13, fg08079.1 and pks10 genes, associated with product...

16 isolates of fusarium culmorum obtained from washington, north dakota and minnesota were tested for pathogenicity on five cultivars and lines: chevron, ci 9549, excel, karl, larker, morex, robust, m48, m66 and m69 were evaluated for reaction to the mixture of all isolates of the pathogen under field condition. the results of glasshouse test indicated that the isolates 10, 25 and 27 were the m...

to identify the fungi associated with foot and root rot of wheat in the khuzestan province, diseased samples were collected at all growth stages in three growing seasons of 2004-2007. pieces of infected parts of the root and foot were surface sterilized and cultured on acidic and non acidic pda media. one hundred and fifteen isolates were obtained and on the basis of macroscopic and microscopic...

Wheat is one of the main crops in Mediterranean countries, and its cultivation has an important role in the Syrian economy. In Syria, Fusarium head blight (FHB) has not been reported so far. Mycological analysis of 48 samples of wheat kernels collected from cultivation areas with different climatic conditions were performed in 2009 and 2010. Fungal isolates were identified at the genus level mo...

the genus fusarium is a species rich genus. different media are required to study themorphological characters and classify different species, a time consuming technique. in this study pecticzymograms were used to identify species and form species of fusarium isolates. fusarium isolates (318) wereobtained from different areas and hosts in isfahan province, iran. isolates were identified to speci...
