In recent years, tulip flowers have been grown extensively in parks and green spaces of Urmia city (NW Iran). During the surveys in a period from 2014–16, characteristic symptoms of the blue mold rot were observed on both planted and stored tulip bulbs, as the bulbs were covered with a white to bluish-green mycelia and spores. In order to determine the fungi associated with tulip bulbs (Tulipa ...

The retarding effect of low temperatures on plant activities is a matter of general knowledge, and the principle has had a very general application in the storage of fruits. The better preservation of the fruit at low temperatures is due both to the slowing up of the activities of the fruit itself and to the checking of fungus and bacterial growth. This paper deals particularly with the latter ...

In the present paper introduce an innovative approach to automatically detect and grade the diseases on pomegranate fruit. The diseased pomegranate plant shows specific symptoms colored spots that will occur on the pomegranate fruit. so it is important to monitoring the pomegranate during its growth period and at the time of harvest. The proposed system will be an efficient module that identifi...

Plant-fungal associations have been explored by routine cultivation based approaches and cultivation based approaches cannot catalogue more than 5% of fungal diversity associated with any niche. In the present study, an attempt has been made to catalogue fungal diversity associated with belowground parts i.e. rhizosphere and cormosphere, of Crocus sativus (an economically important herb) during...

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important solanaceous crop with high phenotypic diversity and moderate genotypic diversity. Ninety-nine genotypes of eggplant germplasm (species (S. melongena, S. incanum, S. linnaeanum and S. gilo), landraces and heirloom cultivars) from 32 countries and five continents were evaluated for genetic diversity, population structure, fruit shape, and disease re...
