Foldscope is a paper microscope based on origami which easy to use and extremely portable. Paper doesn’t require any special laboratory facilities or high-cost chemicals. The present research study how foldscope can be used as an efficient tool for farmers get known about plant pathogens by seeing symptoms parts. For optical visibility of pathogen glass slides were along with small diseased par...

RNA expression profiling of obligately parasitic plant microbes is hampered by the requisite interaction of host and parasite. This can be especially problematic in the case of powdery mildews, such as Erysiphe necator (syn. Uncinula necator), which grow superficially but tightly adhere to the plant epidermis. We developed and refined a simple and efficient technique in which nail polish was us...

Introduction: Genetically distinct but morphologically similar groups of Erysiphe necator Schwein. (formally Uncinula necator (Schwein.) Burrill (BRAUN and TAKAMATSU 2000) have been identified in Europe, India (DÉLYE et al. 1997) and in Australia (STUMMER et al. 2000). One group reproduces only asexually and can thus provide well-adapted persistent clones, whereas the other group can also produ...

Powdery mildew was observed on 20 genotypes of Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis (yardlong beans) and 33 V. radiata (mungbean) in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines. collected then subjected to molecular characterization identify the species associated with disease. Based combined microscopic observations identification, causing powdery yardlong bean mungbean Podosphaera xanthii (Castagne) U. ...
