In 2001, a new disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) caused by Erwinia rhapontici (Millard) Burkh. was detected in seed samples from southern Alberta, Canada. Infected seeds had pink or pinkish-brown lesions on the seed coat. The disease was found in great northern (cv. US1140), pink (cv.
A new disease on globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) was observed in the springs of 2008 and 2009 and during the spring and fall seasons of 2010 in commercial fields (nearly 1,000 ha) in Changde, Hunan Province, China. Characteristic symptoms were wilting and necrosis of the outermost leaves and
From 2006 to 2009, crown gall and hairy root symptoms were observed on blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum cvs. O'Neil, Millennia, and Misty) plants from six nurseries in Tucumán, Concordia, Pilar, Morón, and Baradero, Argentina. Bacteria were isolated from galls of all three cultivars and from hairy
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii Regel) is a popular ornamental potted plant in Argentina. During May of 2008 (austral autumn), necrotic lesions of unknown etiology were observed on S. wallisii in a nursery in Pontevedra (34°45'6″S, 58°42'42″W). Plants first showed water-soaked areas starting from
The N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc)-specific lectin Datura stramonium agglutinin (DSA) rapidly and sugar-specifically released histamine from rat peritoneal mast cells, and pertussis toxin (IAP) inhibited it, suggesting that DSA activated mast cells via an IAP-sensitive G protein pathway. The additive
The effects of seven lectins with various sugar-specificities on histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells induced by non-immunologic stimuli were studied. The non-immunologic stimuli used were three basic secretagogues, compound 48/80, bradykinin and PEI6 (polyethylenimine with a molecular
A strain producing chitinase, isolated from potato stem tissue, was identified as Bacillus licheniformis by biochemical properties and 16S RNA sequence analysis. Statistical experimental designs were used to optimize nine independent variables for chitinase production by B. licheniformis AT6 strain
