Pseudomonas viridiflava causes foliar and stem necrosis, as well as stem and root rot on a wide range of plants. We report here the first complete genome of a P. viridiflava strain, isolated from diseased tissue of a cherry tree.

It has often been stated or implied that grazing is an important factor in the land degradation process, a suggestion supported by various research projects, and this study investigated the effect of livestock grazing on stem height, crowncover, production, basal diameter, stem biomass, litter, leaf-stem index (leaf to stem weight) , root diameter and weight and seed production per individual o...

VATCHEV, T. D., 2015. Fusarium root and stem rot of greenhouse cucumber: aerial distribution of inoculum. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 21: 650–654 Fusarium root and stem rot is one of the most damaging diseases of greenhouse cucumber. This study reveals development and spread of airborne inoculum of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum the causal agent of the disease. Infective propagules of ...

Biological agents are critical in the management of major diseases oil palm plantations. The potential arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and Trichoderma spp. to control basal stem rot disease was investigated this study. Three-month-old seedlings treated with AMF since beginning planting demonstrated colonization roots. With a 25 gram treatment main nursery, increased by 85.99% TBM-1 (the 1-yea...

Root rot symptoms caused by Leptosphaeria maculans were first reported in Australian canola crops in 2001 but little is known about their importance and prevalence. In a survey of over 100 commercial canola crops in southern NSW, all paddocks had plants with root rot symptoms in 2004, whilst 86% of paddocks did in 2003. Across the two seasons surveyed, there was a strong relationship (r = 0.63)...

Root rot is an important and widespread disease that often causes significant reduction in the yield and quality of harvested peas throughout the production areas in New York. Pea root rot can be caused by one of several soilborne pathogens or various combinations of root pathogens and also non-pathogens. In recent years, Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi (causal pathogen of Fusarium root rot) has be...

OBJECTIVES Mesenchyme is a type of undifferentiated loose connective tissue that is derived mostly from mesoderm. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as adult stem cells (ASCs) able to divide into a variety of different cells, are of utmost importance for stem cell research. In this research, ability of the liver extract to induce differentiation of rat derived omentum tissue mesenchymal s...

We used a four-point resistivity method to detect wood decay in living trees. A low-frequency alternating current was applied to the stem and the induced voltage measured between two points along the stem. The effective resistivity of the stem was estimated based on stem cross-sectional area. A comparison within a group of trees showed that trees with butt rot had an effective resistivity that ...

ABSTRACT Genetic variation and variation in aggressiveness in Phialophora gregata f. sp. sojae, the cause of brown stem rot of soybean, was characterized in a sample of 209 isolates from the north-central region. The isolates were collected from soybean plants without regard to symptoms from randomly selected soybean fields. Seven genotypes (A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, M1, and M2) were distinguished ba...
