The frequent outbreaks of rice foot rot disease caused by Dickeya zeae have become a significant concern in rice planting regions and countries, but the regulatory mechanisms that govern the virulence of this important pathogen remain vague. Given that the second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is associated with modulation of various virulence-related traits in various microorganisms, here ...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is the causal agent of black rot on Brassicaceae. The draft genome sequences of three strains (CN14, CN15, and CN16) that are highly aggressive on Arabidopsis have been determined. These genome sequences present an unexpected genomic diversity in X. campestris pv. campestris, which will be valuable for comparative analyses.

The imminent removal of agrochemicals in Europe is directly affecting the strawberry sector Spain, specifically Huelva province. currently main producer country. lack efficient fumigants has led to rise soilborne diseases. Macrophomina phaseolina (the causal agent charcoal rot strawberries) generating serious problems with farmers. This work proposes optimize process anaerobic soil disinfestati...

An annotated high-quality draft genome sequence for Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris race 1 strain Xca5 (originally described as X. campestris pv. armoraciae), the causal agent of black rot on Brassicaceae plants, has been determined. This genome sequence is a valuable resource for comparative genomics within the campestris pathovar.

Abstract Chestnut rot caused by Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi is considered a severe threat to the production of chestnuts from European chestnut ( Castanea sativa Mill.) in Australia and overseas. Currently, most control strategies are applied post-harvest little known about use fungicides reduce nut infection orchards early season. This research evaluated effectiveness various against pathogen vi...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is the causal agent of black rot on Brassicaceae. The draft genome sequences of strains CFBP 1869 and CFBP 5817 have been determined and are the first ones corresponding to race 1 and race 4 strains, which have a predominant agronomic and economic impact on cabbage cultures worldwide.

a total of ten isolates of fungi with rhizoctonia-like mycelia were obtained from infected roots and stems of pistachio pistacia vera grown in a commercial nursery in rafsanjan, iran, during the autumn of 2011. the infected seedlings showed symptoms of chlorosis that later turned to necrosis. all of the isolates were identified as binucleate rhizoctonia on the basis of hyphal characteristics an...

this study was carried out to identify fusarium species associated with sugar beet root rot and yellows. pathogenicity of fusarium oxysporum, the causal agent of fusariumyellows of sugar beet was also investigated. samples of infected roots were collected from fields in major sugar beet producing areas in khorasan province during 1999-2000. infected roots were washed, surface sterilised and pla...

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 ...
