this research which aims to survey the relation between tobacco leaf yield and its components is done by using 118 varieties of tobacco in a research farm of guilan tobacco research institute. regarding to five random selections of plants, twenty three traits of each variety were evaluated. correlation between dry matter of leaf yield with plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, l...

Complex defense signaling pathways, controlled by different hormones, are involved in the reaction of plants to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stress factors. We studied the ability of salicylic acid, jasmonate (JA), and ethylene (ET) to induce systemic defense in rice (Oryza sativa) against the root knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola. Exogenous ET (ethephon) and JA (methyl jasmonate) su...

Plant-parasitic nematodes produce at least one structurally unique class of small helix-rich retinol- and fatty-acid-binding proteins that have no counterparts in their plant hosts. Herein we describe a protein of the plant-parasitic root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica, which is a member of the nematode-specific fatty-acid- and retinol-binding (Mj-FAR-1) family of proteins. The mj-far-1 mRN...

The efficacy of clean fallow, bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) as a rotational crop, and fenamiphos for control of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita race 1) and soilborne fungi in okra (Hibiscus esculentus), snapbean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and pepper (Capsicum annuum) production was evaluated in field tests from 1993 to 1995. Numbers of M. incognita in the soil and root-gall indices were ...

The efficacy of fallow and coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) as a rotation crop for control of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita race 1) and soilborne fungi in okra (Hibiscus esculentus cv. Emerald), squash (Cucurbita pepo cv. Dixie Hybrid), and sweet corn (Zea mays cv. Merit) was evaluated in a 3-year field trial. Numbers of M. incognita in the soil and root-gall indices were gre...

true myrtle, myrtus communis l belonging to myrtaceae family is an important medicinal herb in traditional medicine and pharmaceutical industries in iran. moreover because of  being evergreen, having dense foliage and ease of pruning, it is planted at steep slopes, grasslands, boulevards and sidelines of parks as an ornamental shrub or hedge of green. it is distributed in southern europe, asia,...

The effect of different-colored polyethylene mulches on quantity and spectra of reflected light, plant morphology, and root-knot disease was studied in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) grown in simulated planting beds. Tomato plants were inoculated with Meloidogyne incognita at initial populations (Pi) of 0, 1,000, 10,000, or 50,000 eggs/plant, and grown in a greenhouse for 50 days over white, ...

root-knot nematodes are one of the limiting factors in seedling production and new olive gardens establishment in iran. in view of find resistance cultivars to root-knot nematodes, importance of careful identification of species and races are clarified. in order to investigate root-knot nematodes on olive, soil and root samples of gardens and nursery in gorgan area were collected. in this study...
