Macrophomina phaseolina has a wide host range and is responsible for causing losses on m cultivated and wild plant species. So far in Pakistan it has been reported to cause disease on hosts including field crops, pulses, flowers and vegetable have been reported. Infection on s first reported from Sri Lanka in 1927 and in 1982 it was reported from sunflower field in fungus is reported to be soil...

Background & Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the antifungal effect of the watercress extract on the growth of Fusarium solani, the causal agent of potato dry rot. Experimental:  This research was done in a completely randomized design with three concentrations and four replicates on potato dextrose agar (PDA) culture medium. Results: Results of this study indicated that all ...

Foot rot is a highly contagious and economically important disease of sheep and goats, caused predominantly by Dichelobacter nodosus. The current investigation was intended to analyse the genetic variation for resistance to caprine foot rot among two purebred native breeds of goats(Malabari and Attappady Black) and crossbred (Malabari crosses with Sannen, Alpine and Boer) goats in Kerala state,...

Damping-off, root rot and necrotic lesions were observed on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) seedlings in the Kafrelsheikh Governorate, northern part of Nile River delta, Egypt. Pythium aphanidermatum was identified as causal agent using morphology asexual sexual morphs molecular studies. This is first record P.

root rot caused by fusarium verticillioides is one of the most important rice diseases in ilam. in order to determine genetic diversity, 56 samples were collected from rice paddies of different regions in ilam province. molecular test was carried out with a set of five pairs of ssr primers after purification and identification of isolates. the ssr primers amplified a total 26 alleles. the avera...

pectobacterium carotovorum is one of the most important bacterial pathogens of potato in the world.the expression of numerous genes including those involved in the production of virulence determinants in this bacterium are regulated by quorum sensing (qs). the signal molecules involved in qs in p. carotovorum belong to the group of n-acyl homoserine lactones (ahls). recently, several soil bacte...
