Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is the causal agent of rice bacterial blight disease. Numerous genes critical for virulence have been identified. This article reviews current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of X. oryzae pv. oryzae virulence.

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis is an important pathogen responsible for walnut blight outbreaks globally. Here, we report four draft genome sequences of X. arboricola pv. juglandis strains isolated from Chilean walnut trees.

Abstract During the growth season, plants of rapeseed ( Brassica napus L.) and brown mustard juncea are affected by various diseases: Fusarium blight, Verticillium Alternaria others. The cultivation varieties resistant to diseases is a cost-effective environmentally safe way protect from diseases. aim work was evaluate new breeding material spring for resistance blight in form tracheomycotic wi...

This paper presents a pattern recognition system for the identification of the vegetable crops diseases from images. The proposed system is based on three main phases: Segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The segmentation of the images is carried out using k-means clustering method. Then, three type of features are extracted from the segmented images including color, texture and...

MilStop fungicide was recently registered for the control of a number of leaf spot and blight diseases, as well as powdery mildew on numerous annual, herbaceous, and woody ornamentals. The active ingredient in MilStop is potassium bicarbonate. MilStop is reported to have curative activity against powdery mildew and is also labeled for the control of diseases caused by fungi such as Alternaria ,...

The central highlands of Mexico are considered to be a center of genetic diversity for both the potato late blight pathogen and for tuber-bearing Solanum spp. Recent work conducted in Mexico and South America sheds new light on the biology and evolution of Phytophthora infestans and other related Phytophthora pathogens. It now appears that Mexican Solanum species, which coevolved with P. infest...

Kentang ialah salah satu tanaman yang potensial untuk dikembangkan. Produksi dan produktivitas kentang di Indonesia semakin menurun setiap tahunnya. Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) mencatat produksi mengalami penurunan 9,82%, dari 1.176.304 ton pada tahun 2009 menjadi 1.060.805 2010. Kendala menurunnya disebabkan oleh serangan hama penyakit, sehingga memerlukan suatu sistem dapat membantu mendiagno...
