This study aims to examine the potential reasons for the current prevalence of the fusarium wilt in the oriental melon. Twenty-seven Fusarium isolates obtained from oriental melon greenhouses in 2010-2011 were identified morphologically and by analysis of elongation factor-1 alpha gene (EF-1α) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences as 6 Fusarium species (8 isolates of F. oxysporum...

screening is an important subject for breeding programs of resistant varieties of lentil. in recent years many developments were carried out in identification of resistant sources of germplasm of leguminous against soil-borne causes. fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis is one of the important disease of lentil in the world and iran. in this study, reactions of 30 lentil genotypes evaluated to find ...

The impact of microbiological commercial products (PHC Biopak, Rhizatech and ECO-T) on the occurrence of mycorrhizae and Fusarium in the rhizosphere of tissue culture banana (Gros Mitchel cv.) was assessed. Tissue cultured banana plantlets were inoculated with PHC Biopak (Bacillus), Rhizatech (mycorrhiza) and ECO-T (T. harzianum) under greenhouse conditions using a completely randomized design ...

AIMS To evaluate the antagonistic activity of Fusarium oxysporum nonpathogenic fungal strain S6 against the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and to identify the antifungal compounds involved. METHODS AND RESULTS The antagonistic activity of Fusarium oxysporum strain S6 was determined in vitro by dual cultures. The metabolite responsible for the activity was isolated by chromato...

The present investigation was carried out to isolate and characterize antagonistic bacteria against wilt causing fungal pathogen i.e. Fusarium oxysporum, from the rhizosphere of tomato. Fifty-six bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soil samples of healthy tomato fields, collected from different locations of Faridabad district, Haryana, India. Out of these, ten isolates were fou...

ABSTRACT Development of 108 epidemics of Fusarium wilt of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris were studied on cvs. P-2245 and PV-61 in field microplots artificially infested with races 0 and 5 of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in 1986 to 1989. Disease progression data were fitted to the Richards model using nonlinear regression. The shape parameter was influenced primarily by date...

Radix pseudostellariae is a perennial tonic medicinal plant, with high medicinal value. However, consecutive monoculture of this plant in the same field results in serious decrease in both yield and quality. In this study, a 3-year field experiment was performed to identify the inhibitory effect of growth caused by prolonged monoculture of R. pseudostellariae. DGGE analysis was used to explore ...

Fusarium wilt diseases caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum lead to significant yield losses of crops. Biocontrol agents such asTrichoderma viride , Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluorescens are applied to control Fusarium wilt of Arachis hypogaea. Experiments were conducted on the effect of culture filtrates of T.viride (1%), T.harzianum (1.5%), and P. fluorescens (2%) on biochemica...

Nine different Fusarium species were isolated from Acacia koa seeds, seedpods, seedling stem and root tissues, rhizosphere soil and soil surrounding roots of diseased trees. Fusarium oxysporum, the cause of koa dieback and wilt, was not isolated from seeds or seedpods but was found most commonly on roots and soil near diseased koa seedlings. Fusarium subglutinans was the most common species iso...

Differential display with three time points revealed that thiram altered expression of numerous genes in the biocontrol fungus Fusarium oxysporum CS-20. Of the 101 bands purified from the differential display gel, 86 were successfully cloned, and 64 sequenced. Based on nucleic acid sequences, homology to known products was found using BLASTn for 26 sequences and homology to hypothetical protein...
