(EC 9o) mycelial inhibition (Y) were ABSTRACT examined by analysis of variance. Northover, J., and Matteoni, J. A. 1986. Resistance of Botrytis cinerea to benomyl and iprodione in Differences between means were evaluated vineyards and greenhouses after exposure to the fungicides alone or mixed with captan. Plant using the Student-Newman-Keuls multiple Disease 70:398-402. range test. A discrimin...

PURPOSE Hypersensitivity to fungi is associated with rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma. For some fungi, such as Alternaria alternata (A. alternata), the symptoms of asthma are persistent, increasing disease severity and the risk of fatal outcomes. There are a large number of species of fungi but knowledge of them remains limited. This, together with the difficulties in obtaining adequate standardi...

Fungi were isolated from soil samples corresponding to pesticide-contaminated soil (CS) and noncontaminated soil (NCS) in the Annaba vicinity (Algeria) and identified. The number of isolates obtained from CS and NCS were 263 and 288, respectively. The most frequent species (Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, Absidia corymbifera, and Rhizopus microsporus var microsporus) were not sensi...

A brief note was published some years ago by W. T. Morgan of the Lister Institute, London, and the writer (1932) describing the isolation from decayed woody tissues of a micro-organism which decomposes the specific polysaccharides of Shigella dysenteriae, Shiga; Shigella dysenteriae, Flexner Y; Pneumococcus Type II; and the tubercle bacillus. At the time a study of the relationship of this orga...

Endophytic bacterial strains B12 and B13 isolated from cucumber leaves effectively controlled cucumber grey mold, Botrytis cinerea. Both culture broth and culture filtrates were effective in inhibiting spore germination and germtube elongation of B. cinerea. Preliminary studies on the effects of pH and temperature on stability of the culture filtrates in inhibition of the pathogen were made. In...

The plant cuticle composed of cutin, a lipid-derived polyester, and cuticular waxes covers the aerial portions of plants and constitutes a hydrophobic extracellular matrix layer that protects plants against environmental stresses. The botrytis-resistant 1 (bre1) mutant of Arabidopsis reveals that a permeable cuticle does not facilitate the entry of fungal pathogens in general, but surprisingly ...

Activity-based protein profiling is a powerful method to display enzyme activities in proteomes and provides crucial information on enzyme activity rather than protein or transcript abundance. We applied activity-based protein profiling using fluorophosphonate-based probes to display the activities of Ser hydrolases in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Multidimensional protein identificatio...

ABSTRACT Botrytis blight (gray mold), caused by Botrytis cinerea, is one of the most widely distributed diseases of ornamental plants. In geranium plants, gray mold is responsible for important losses in production. The mold Aspergillus giganteus is known to produce and secrete a basic low-molecular-weight protein, the antifungal protein (AFP). Here, the antifungal properties of the Aspergillus...
