In 2010, symptoms of leaf and stem rot were observed on potted plants (Peperomia quadrangularis) in a greenhouse in Yongin, Korea. The causative pathogen was identified as Myrothecium roridum based on morphological data, internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis, and pathogenicity test. To our knowledge, this is the first report of M. roridum causing leaf and stem rot disease on P. quadrang...

In oil palm, Ganoderma boninense causes stem rot disease, which is often difficult to control, and soil fertility status related the ecology of G. as a soil-borne pathogen. Therefore, this study aims evaluate relationship between disease well appropriate management methods control disease. This was carried out at Nusantara Plantation Company's 7, Unit Kiwah Rejosari-Pematang from June 2021 Janu...

The importance of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as adult stem cells (ASCs) able to divide into a variety of different cells is of utmost importance for stem cell researches. In this study, the ability of cartilage extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue MSCs (rOT-MSCs) into chondrocyte cells (CCs) was investigated. After isolation of rOT-MSCs, they were co-cultured with...

Abstract Ganoderma boninense , a causal agent of basal stem rot, as one the major problems in oil palm plantation Indonesia. The potential dark septate endophytes (DSE) biocontrol agents for G. is not widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to screen DSE strains obtain high antagonistic strains. capacity 10 was determined based on growth inhibition dual culture, and volatile compounds challe...
