Verticillium wilt of potato is a major limiting factor in potato production caused by Verticillium dahliae. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy two elicitors including Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and Chitosan as plant activator in controlling of potato verticillium wilt in vitro and greenhouse conditions. ASM and chitosan were tested in vitro using Potato dextrose Agar (PDA)...

The soil-borne pathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae Kleb. causes economic losses in crops in temperate regions of the world and hence is the most studied species. Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) belongs to plant species susceptible to Verticillium dahliae, although the response to infection caused by this pathogen is varied and depends on the cultivar. Due to a lack of efficient method...

The purpose of this experiment is to compare the growth and water consumption efficiency five garden plants (marigold (Tagetes erecta ‘Red Brocade’), moss-rose (Portulaca grandiflora ‘Sun Rose’), dahlia (Dahlia sp. ‘Double Opra’), gazania (Gazania splendens ‘New Day’), Indian blanket (Gaillardia pulchella. Dance’)) during warmer seasons year under various levels drought stress based on field ca...

Section Prostrata of the genus Verticillium was introduced by GAMS (1971) to separate verticillium-like anamorphs of the Clavicipitaceae from other species of the genus that were known or supposed to have affinities with other families of the Hypocreales. Other sections of Verticillium were subsequently described by GAMS & VAN ZAAYEN (1982). MESSNER et al. (1996) showed that the most important ...
