An endophytic fungal isolate (Fs-K), identified as a Fusarium solani strain, was obtained from root tissues of tomato plants grown on a compost which suppressed soil and foliar pathogens. Strain Fs-K was able to colonize root tissues and subsequently protect plants against the root pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL), and elicit induced systemic resistance against the t...

Agrobacterium tumefaciens stimulated and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici inhibited development and reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita when applied to the opposite split root of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Tropic, plants. The lowest rate of nematode reproduction occurred after 2,000 juveniles were applied and the fungus was present in the opposite split root. The effects of all ...

In vitro toxicological influence of culture filtrates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Sacc.) Snyder & Hans was investigated on seed germination, seedling growth and physiology of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) under chromium(VI) stress. Original culture filtrates of the fungus and three concentrations of Cr(VI) viz. 50, 75 and 100 mg L1 were used in laboratory bioassays either...

abstract this study was carried out of identify the tomatinase extracellular enzyme in fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici race1 the casual agent of wilting in tomato. 20 isolates of fusarium oxysporum were recovered from infected roots,crown and stems of tomato plants collected from fields in major tomato producing areas in northern and razavi khorasan province during 2009-2010 . pathogenicit...

A Gram-negative bacterial isolate, named PG4, was recovered from the rhizosphere of a tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Burley) and was identified as Lysobacter capsici based on the sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA and characteristics in the Biolog Identification System. Strain PG4 showed chitinase and protease activity and was able to inhibit the growth of a broad range of p...

ABSTRACT The spatial distribution and temporal development of tomato crown and root rot, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici, were studied in naturally infested fields in 1996 and 1997. Disease progression fit a logistic model better than a monomolecular one. Geostatistical analyses and semivariogram calculations revealed that the disease spreads from infected plants to a di...
