In field peas, ascochyta blight is one of the most common fungal diseases caused by Didymella pinodes. Despite the high diversity of pea cultivars, only little resistance has been developed until to date, still leading to significant losses in grain yield. Rhizobia as plant growth promoting endosymbionts are the main partners for establishment of symbiosis with pea plants. The key role of Rhizo...

in order to evaluate effect of azotobacter chroococcum strains on yield, yield components and qualitative indices of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.), an experiment was conducted during 2009-2010 growing season at research institute of rice in rasht. the experimental design was completely randomized block, with three replications. investigated treatments were including control (without seed ...

BOWERS, G. R., Jr., and R. M. GOODMAN. 1979. Soybean mosaic virus: Infection of soybean seed parts and seed transmission. Phytopathology 69: 569-572. The presence of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) (Illinois severe isolate) in cotyledons, and embryos from immature seeds of both Midwest and Merit. reproductive plant parts was compared in field-grown, manually inoculated In mature seeds, infectious vi...

Nursery experiments were conducted to select the suitable biofertilizers combination attain quality seedlings of Neem. The such as Azospirillum, Paenibacillus and AM fungus (Glomus fasciculatum) inoculated by separately various combinations with each other at time seed sowing. Shoot length, root collar diameter, shoot dry weight recorded on 80 days after treatment. Results showed that total len...

Enteric pathogens, such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli O157:H7, have been shown to contaminate fresh produce. Under appropriate conditions, these bacteria will grow on and invade the plant tissue. We have developed Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) as a model system with the intention of studying plant responses to human pathogens. Under sterile conditions and at 100% humidity, S....

aimed at reducing the consumption of chemical fertilizers on crop production and according to important role of micro-nutrients such as iron, on increase performance of these products, nanocomposites effect of iron on yield and yield components of wax bean genotypes inoculated with rhizobium bacteria during experimental factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was cond...

For overcoming the long period of seed cultured photoautotrophically and inadequate cell supply for the inoculation of microalgae photoautotrophic cultivation, a model for the photoautotrophic culture of three Chlorella species with heterotrophic cells as seed was investigated. The model can not only take advantages of rapid cell growth in heterotrophic process for preparation of cells as seed ...

A valuable strategy to improve crop yield consists in the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs). However, the influence of PGPR colonization on plant physiology is largely unknown. PGPR Burkholderia phytofirmans strain PsJN (Bp PsJN) colonized only Arabidopsis thaliana roots after seed or soil inoculation. Foliar bacteria were detected only after leaf infiltration. Since, differen...
