the present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. p. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with m. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

abstract polymyxa betae is an obligate parasite and has a worldwide distribution. this fungus is a soil-borne root endoparasite in some plant families such as portulaceae, chenopodiaceae and amaranthaceae. this fungus is the vector of many plant viruses such as beet necrotic yellow vein virus (bnyvv) which causes the disease known as rhizomania. bnyvv is the most economical important viral dise...

Fungus-growing termites efficiently decompose plant litter through their symbiotic relationship with basidiomycete fungi of the genus Termitomyces. Here, we investigated phenol-oxidizing enzymes in symbiotic fungi and fungus combs (a substrate used to cultivate symbiotic fungi) from termites belonging to the genera Macrotermes, Odontotermes, and Microtermes in Thailand, because these enzymes ar...

Medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum has been used in East Asia for centuries in order to prevent and treat a variety of diseases such as hepatitis, immunological disorders and cancers. In fact, this fungus contains a vast source of polysaccharides, proteins and secondary metabolites with anti-tumor and immuno-modulatory properties. Up to now, a variety of drug metabolites extracted from G. luc...

Fungus is one of the causes of chronic rhinosinusitis. If the fungus occupies the sinus but does not invade the sinonasal mucosa, this is called sinus fungus ball. Any association between anatomical variations and fungus ball remains unclear. Sinus fungus ball is defined as non-invasive chronic fungal rhinosinusitis occurring in immunocompetent patients, and the maxillary sinus is the most comm...

the non-defoliant strain of verticillium dahliae (ss-4) was isolated from olive groves showing disease symptoms in toshan area of southern gorgan city. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, was recovered from infested olive seedlings and following identification it was propagated on tomato seedlings cv. rutgers. one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars, zard, roghani, koroneiki and manzani...

in order to complete the microbial control of the sawthoothed beetle by the fungus beauvaria bassiana (isolate 441c) in ipm program of stored date, 9 edible and commercial vegetable oils including canola, soybean, sesame, corn, coconut, grape seed, olive, sunflower and almond were investigated to formulate the fungus. results showed that b. bassiana formulated with sesame oil was the most suita...

The spores have formed by fungi and these spores have developed characteristics that enable them to cope with the stresses of survival and disintegration. In the distribution of fungus spores in the atmosphere, it is important in the meteorological factors as well as the features of the fungus. The meteorological factors that play a role in the distribution of fungus spores are temperature, hum...
