INTRODUCTION During the last decades, Fusarium spp. has been reported as a significant cause of disease in humans, especially in immunocompromised patients, who have high risk of invasive life-threatening disease. Fusarium species usually reported as cause of human disease are F. solani, F. oxysporum and F. verticillioides. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe the second case in the literature of dis...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to use antimicrobial efficacy endpoint methodology to determine compatibility of multipurpose disinfecting solutions (MPSs), lens cases, and hydrogel lenses for disinfection (AEEMC) against International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-specified microorganisms and clinical ocular isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. METHODS Six MPSs (PQ/Aldox 1,...

Objective: Fusarium diseases that cause grain mold and stalk rot of millet are the most important diseases, of these crops in Iran. Fusarium can cause stalk rots, ear rots, and grain mold, resulting in serious production losses in millet, and produce mycotoxins that are harmful to both humans and domesticated animals.  Methods: A total of 23 Fusarium isolates were rec...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most financially important vegetable crops. It a species belonging to Solanaceae family and cultivated in many countries, including Turkey. The natural presence ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ (‘Ca. P. solani’) from Stolbur group (16SrXII) tomato plants extensively characterized based on 16S rRNA gene worldwide. displaying abnormality sterility flower...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of egg age and pre-colonization of cysts by a saprophytic or parasitic fungus on parasitism of Heterodera glycines eggs by other parasitic fungi. In agar and in soil tests, fungi generally parasitized more eggs in early developmental stages than eggs containing a juvenile. The effect of pre-colonization of cysts by a fungus on parasitism o...

Biotic stress, as a result of plant-pathogen interactions, induces the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the cells, causing severe oxidative damage to plants and pathogens. To overcome this damage, both the host and pathogen have developed antioxidant systems to quench excess ROS and keep ROS production and scavenging systems under control. Data on ROS-scavenging systems in the necrotr...

Many Trichoderma species are well-known for their ability to promote plant growth and defense. We study how the interaction of bean plants with R. solani and/or Trichoderma affect the plants growth and the level of expression of defense-related genes. Trichoderma isolates were evaluated in vitro for their potential to antagonize R. solani. Bioassays were performed in climatic chambers and devel...

Wild edible plant species can be a good source of biologically active compounds. Therefore, the aims this research were to evaluate antioxidant activity and quantify phenolic compounds present in ethanolic (70% v/v) aqueous extracts Tinantia erecta, their antifungal against phytopathogenic fungi. The total phenol flavonoid content vitro assessed, quantified by HPLC. (250 μg mL–1) from T. erecta...
