Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is an important fruit crop of subtropical countries and cultivated extensively throughout India, it is grown almost in all the states. Bihar has the largest area (24.7 thousand ha.) under guava cultivation followed by Uttar Pradesh (18.5 thousand ha.) and Maharastra (14.8 thousand ha.). Various pathogens have been reported from the wilt affected plants from guava orch...

The antifungal activity of zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles prepared by bio-safe method was evaluated for Alternaria alternate, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizopus stolonifer and Mucor plumbeus. It was observed from the study that all the nanoparticles at different concentrations brought about significant inhibition in the germination of spores of Alternaria alternata, Fusarium...

The antifungal activity of extracts of Tinospora cordifolia (leaves), Moringa oleifera (bark) and Trachyspermum ammi (seeds) at three concentrations viz., 25, 50, 75% (v/v) were evaluated in vitro by poisoned food technique against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and Fusarium solani causing wilt disease on tomato and brinjal plants. The antifungal activity was assessed in terms of percent...

In this paper, we for the first time show the ability of the mesophilic fungus Fusarium oxysporum in the bioleaching of waste material such as Fly-ash for the extracellular production of highly crystalline and highly stable, protein capped, fluorescent and water soluble silica nanoparticles at ambient conditions. When the fungus Fusarium oxysporum is exposed to Fly-ash, it is capable of selecti...

In this study Dodecyl trimethyl ammonium sulphate (DTA) was obtained through quaternization reaction between dodecylamine and dimethyl sulfate (yield: 51.5%) while Dimethylamino propyl glucosylamine (DAPGA) was successively synthesized from D-glucose and 3-Dimethylamino propylamine (yield: 93.6%). Both compounds were analyzed through NMR spectroscopy. Evaluation of their biological activity aga...

CdSe quantum dots are often used in industry as fluorescent materials. In this study, CdSe quantum dots were synthesized using Fusarium oxysporum. The cadmium and selenium concentration, pH, and temperature for the culture of F. oxysporum (Fusarium oxysporum) were optimized for the synthesis, and the CdSe quantum dots obtained from the mycelial cells of F. oxysporum were observed by transmissio...

Kitagawa, T., Sakamoto, Y., Furumi, K., and Ogura, H. 1989. Novel enzyme immunoassays for specific detection of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum and for general detection of various Fusarium species. Phytopathology 79:162-165. Competitive types of two novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays including nine other strains of Fusarium, showed little cross-reactivity. (ELISA) for Fusarium spec...

OBJECTIVES To analyse the susceptibility pattern of a collection of Fusarium clinical isolates. METHODS The antifungal susceptibility pattern of 67 isolates of Fusarium was analysed. Strains were identified by morphological and molecular methods by means of sequencing elongation factor alpha. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Six different species were identified. Fusarium solani was the most frequen...
