Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and Meloidogyne javanica are important pathogens of chickpea. Interrelationships between Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and M. javanica were investigated on 53 Fusarium wilt-resistant chickpea genotypes in pot experiments. All of the genotypes were susceptible to M. javanica. Fusarium wilt resistance in one genotype (ICC 12275) was ineffective in the presence ...

Background: Chickpea wilt complex caused by several soil-borne pathogens is the major yield-reducing malady worldwide. Biological control one of best, low-cost and ecologically sustainable method for managing plant diseases pathogens. Methods: In this present investigation Panchagavya Trichoderma spp. were evaluated following poisoned food technique dual culture against causing i.e. Fusarium ox...

Isoflavones, Fusarium, Methylation, Demethylation, 3'-Hydroxylation, Metabolism Several introductionary reactions of isoflavone metabolism by Fusarium fungi are reported. Fu­ sarium avenaceum hydroxylates formononetin in the 3'-position yielding 3',7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone (calycosin). 3'-Hydroxylation of biochanin A to 3/,5,7-trihydroxy-4/-methoxyisoflavone (pratensein) has been observ...

BACKGROUND Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, a main threat to global chickpea production, is managed mainly by resistant cultivars whose efficiency is curtailed by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris races. METHODOLOGY We characterized compatible and incompatible interactions by assessing the spatial-temporal pattern of infection and colonization of chickpea cvs. P-2245...

Populations of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis, the causal agent of Bayoud disease of date palm, are derivatives of a single clonal lineage and exhibit very similar Fot 1 hybridization patterns. In order to develop a sensitive diagnostic tool for F. oxysporum f. sp. albedinis detection, we isolated several DNA clones containing a copy of the transposable element Fot 1 from a genomic library...

ABSTRACT In the Mediterranean Basin, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris and the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne artiellia coinfect chickpea. The influence of root infection (after inoculation with 20 nematode eggs and second-stage juveniles per gram of soil) by two M. artiellia populations, from Italy and Syria, on the reaction of chickpea lines and cultivars with partial resistance to Fusarium w...
