Identification and pathogenicity of Fusarium species associated with wilting and crown rot in almond (Prunus dulcis)

Scientific Reports
Severe Fusarium wilt and crown root symptoms were observed in almond orchards in Portugal. The present study elucidates the etiology of the disease through molecular, phenotypic, and pathogenic characterization. Three Fusarium isolates from Portugal were

Addition of Earthworms to Continuous Cropping Soil Inhibits the Fusarium Wilt in Watermelon: Evidence Under Both Field and Pot Conditions

Horticulturae
Fusarium wilt is a devastating soilborne disease that significantly reduces watermelon production worldwide. This disease is caused by Fusarium oxysporum subsp. niveum (E.F.Sm.) W.C. Snyder & H.N.Hansen. Earthworms can influence fungal populations either

Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. echeveriae, a novel forma specialis causing crown and stem rot of Echeveria agavoides

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2015
analysis based on the ITS region confirmed the pathogen as Fusarium oxysporum. In order to identify the forma specialis, thirteen isolates obtained from infected tissues were used for phylogenetic analysis based on four polygalacturonase genes (Pg1, Pg5,

Has the Striga problem been solved? A field perspective critique of recent progress

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The potential field efficacy of recently proposed breeding, biocontrol, suicidal germination, gene editing and transgenic solutions for Striga control is critically evaluated and mostly found wanting improvements. Abstract Three root‐parasitic witchweed (Striga) species can cause up to total loss of grain and legume crops for millions of farmers in ...

Toxicity of essential oils from Nordic plants against different pathogenic organisms and pests of cultivated plants

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Plant essential oils (EOs) represent a potentially effective, safe, and eco‐friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides that cause negative effects for human health and the environment. The present study evaluated in airtight glass chambers the toxicity of vapours produced by EOs obtained from sweet gale, balsam poplar, Labrador tea, jack pine, and ...

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica

Antipode, EarlyView.
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

Molecular Identification of Secreted Effector Genes Involved in African Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. elaeidis Strains Pathogenesis During Screening Nigerian Susceptible and Tolerant Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Genotypes

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Fusarium wilt is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. elaeidis, and constitutes a severe threat to the oil palm industry in Africa. This study is aimed at surveying, identifying the secreted effector genes responsible for virulence during pathogenesis ...

Banana breeding by genome design

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bananas and plantains of the genus Musa constitute the most vital fruits and staple foods. Cultivated bananas may have originated from intraspecific and interspecific hybridizations of four wild species, namely Musa acuminata (A), M. balbisiana (B), M. schizocarpa (S), and the Australimusa species (T).
