A powdery mildew fungus Leveillula taurica (Erysiphales) is reported for the first time on fig tree (Ficus carica) (Moraceae) in Sistan region, Iran. One hundred fungal organs including clistothecia, asci, ascospores and conidia, were micrometried by the calibrated Olympus BH2 microscope. All characters of the organs were recorded and drawn using a drawing tube. Conidiophores were with cylindri...

A powdery mildew disease was observed on leaves of Solanum gilo, S. melongena, S. tuberosum S. chacoense, Nicotiana rustica and N. tabacum in Brasília (Federal District), Brazil. Symptoms were mainly characterized by adaxial yellow areas in the leaves corresponding to white fungal colonies on the abaxial surface. Profuse sporulation was often observed. Light microscopy of the fungal colonies re...

Peppers, a worldwide crop, are threatened by different pathogens. Powdery mildew, biotroph fungal infection, can cause several damages directly on vegetative parts and indirectly fruits. Despite some sources of resistance have been described, commercial genotypes only with partial developed due to the complex nature such variable genetic expression, which depends stage plants. In this paper 49 ...

during the study of powdery mildew related to erysiphaceae family from abardeh region in mashhad (khorasan-e-razavi province), one species of rose (rosa persica michx.ex juss, summer 2006) with symptoms of powdery mildew was collected. the symptoms observed with the naked eye including the dense cottony shape mycelia infected the leaf surfaces as well as some parts of the stem. mycelia were den...

powdery mildew is one of the most important disease concerns of tomato production in different regions of the world, which is caused by different species of erysiphales. the most important causal agents of which are leveillula taurica and oidium neolycopersici. in the present study tomato farms in qazvin province were surveyed and tomato leaves with powdery mildew symptoms were collected. after...

Powdery mildew disease caused by Leveillula taurica is a serious fungal threat to greenhouse tomato and pepper production. In contrast to most powdery mildew species which are epiphytic, L. taurica is an endophytic fungus colonizing the mesophyll tissues of the leaf. In barley, Arabidopsis, tomato and pea, the correct functioning of specific homologues of the plant Mlo gene family has been foun...

Research on organic fertilizers are of crucial importance for sustainable production systems with high efficiency natural resource use. The objective this study was to evaluate sources fertilization (boiled manure (BM), effective microorganism (EM) Bokashi, and Penergetic) their effects agronomic variables (fruit size yield, total soluble solids) foliar powdery mildew severity tomato (Solanum l...
