The in vitro effect of water activity (0.995, 0.98, 0.95, 0.90 and 0.85) and temperature (25 and 15 degrees C) on competing abilities of the biocontrol agent Penicillium oxalicum against Fusarium oxysporum fsp. lycopersici, a tomato pathogen, and Fusarium oxysporum fsp. gladioli, a gladiolus pathogen, was evaluated. The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of P. oxalicum to be applie...

Here, we present the genome sequence of an isolate (14004) of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae, an eggplant pathogen. The final assembly consists of 1,631 scaffolds with 53,986,354 bp (G+C content, 46.4%) and 16,485 predicted genes.

3'-Hydroxylation of isoflavones by Fusarium oxysporum f. lycopersici mainly proceeds with 4'-methoxy-7-hydroxyderivatives; this reaction is used for quantitative conversion of 14C-labelled isoflavones.

Sequence analysis of genomic fragments from the intergenic spacer region from three isolates of Fusarium oxysporum fsp lycoperisci and fsp radicis lycopersici was carried out using the big dye terminator sequencing procedure. Two conditions of the DNA templates were also evaluated for their influence on the outcome of the terminator reaction. Results showed that sequencing using the PCR product...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is also known as "massoor". A member of the Leguminaceae family for their high protein and nutrient content. Wilt incited by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis can result in significant yield losses upto 50% lentil farmers. Chemical management through fungicides reduces crop significantly but has some environmental drawbacks conflicts on human health instead other met...
