Morphological, Pathogenic and Toxigenic Variability in the Rice Sheath Rot Pathogen Sarocladium Oryzae [PDF]

, 2020
Sheath rot is an emerging rice disease that leads to considerable yield losses. The main causal agent is the fungus Sarocladium oryzae. This pathogen is known to produce the toxins cerulenin and helvolic acid, but their role in pathogenicity has not been

Bacillus velezensis 83 protects Arabidopsis thaliana against Botrytis cinerea by triggering JA‐, and SA‐dependent induced systemic resistance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
B. velezensis 83 protects the plant against B. cinerea, accumulating acetoin and activating jasmonic acid‐ and salicylic acid‐mediated defense responses. Abstract BACKGROUND Modern agriculture is based on the application of synthetic agrochemicals to control multiple abiotic and biotic stresses.

Breeding cold‐tolerant Orius laevigatus lines improves thermal tolerance and body size: implications for biological control

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Biological control agents performance is influenced by temperature. Two cold‐tolerant lines of O. loevigatus were developed, improving their fitness at both low and high temperatures, offering advantages far augmentative biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND The performance of biological control agents (BCAs) is strongly influenced by environmental ...

Distribution and Genetic Variability of Fusarium oxysporum Associated with Tomato Diseases in Algeria and a Biocontrol Strategy with Indigenous Trichoderma spp.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Fifty fungal isolates were sampled from diseased tomato plants as result of a survey conducted in seven tomato crop areas in Algeria from 2012 to 2015. Morphological criteria and PCR-based identification, using the primers PF02 and PF03, assigned 29 out ...
