Foldscope is a paper microscope based on origami which easy to use and extremely portable. Paper doesn’t require any special laboratory facilities or high-cost chemicals. The present research study how foldscope can be used as an efficient tool for farmers get known about plant pathogens by seeing symptoms parts. For optical visibility of pathogen glass slides were along with small diseased par...

Uromyces phaseoli, the causal agent of bean rust, suppressed shoot and root growth of three bean cultivars, reducing root weight more than shoot weight. The greatest suppression of root weight was on the cultivar that appeared most susceptible by visual ratings of shoot symptoms. Meloidogyne incognita suppressed shoot and root growth of all test cultivars; root weight reductions differed among ...

Uromyces appendiculatus is a rust fungus that causes disease on beans. To understand more about the biology of U. appendiculatus, we have used multidimensional protein identification technology to survey proteins in germinating asexual uredospores and have compared this data with proteins discovered in an inactive spore. The relative concentrations of proteins were estimated by counting the num...

Acevedo, M., Steadman, J. R., and Rosas, J. C. 2013. Uromyces appendiculatus in Honduras: Pathogen diversity and host resistance screening. Plant Dis. 97:652-661. Bean rust, caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus, is a major constraint for common bean production worldwide. Virulence of U. appendiculatus collected from wild and cultivated Phaseolus spp. was examined in 28 locations across ...

Efficient nutrient mobilization is a key element for biotrophic plant parasites such as the rust fungi. In the course of a cDNA library screen for elements involved in sugar utilization in Uromyces fabae, we identified a sequence with homology to beta-glucosidases. Full-length genomic and cDNA clones of the gene, termed BGL1, were isolated and sequenced. The BGL1 gene comprises 3,372 nucleotide...
