The present work was carried out to study the potential of plant rhizosphere associated bacteria for the biocontrol of potato black scurf disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Khun AG-3. A total of twenty-eight bacteria isolated from diseased and healthy potato plants grown in the soil of Naran and
The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical and nutritional composition, to establish frying processing conditions and to determine the sensory profile and acceptability of Black Michuñe (BM) potato chips. BM had a higher protein content, half the ether extract content and nitrogen-free
Leptosphaeria tompkinsii is a dematiaceous fungus which is rarely reported as an agent of black-grain mycetoma. We present a case involving a mycetoma of the hand of a former farmer from Mali, West Africa, who has been a resident in France for 27 years. The patient was successfully treated with
Between 1997 and 2000, black dot of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), caused by the polyphagous soilborne fungus Colletotrichum coccodes (Wallr.) Hughes, was observed each summer in fields located in Umbria (central Italy). Disease incidence ranged from 50 to 100%, and early potato cultivars were
ABSTRACT Black dot of potato, caused by Colletotrichum coccodes, is a disease of growing economic importance, but the degree of genetic diversity and pathogenic differentiation among isolates is unknown. Using nitrate auxotrophic (Nit) mutants, we characterized vegetative compatibility groups (VCG)
Biocontrol offers a promising alternative to synthetic fungicides for the control of a variety of pre- and post-harvest diseases of crops. Black rot, which is caused by the pathogenic fungus Ceratocytis fimbriata, is the most destructive post-harvest disease of sweet potato, but little is currently
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra L.) is organically grown in Switzerland primarily for the flowers, which are used for the production of candies. In June of 2006 in a commercial orchard in Knonau, Switzerland, leaves prematurely turned yellow and dropped off. Other symptoms included weak growth of new
Seventeen mold strains were isolated from 'Greek-style' black olives produced in Morocco. Eight of these isolates were identified as Aspergillus flavus, seven as Aspergillus petrakii, and two as Aspergillus ochraceus Wilhelm. The A. flavus strains were tested for production of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1,
During 2011, 96 sclerotial isolates of Rhizoctonia solani were collected from potato tubers from all main potato-cultivating regions of Cyprus. All isolates were found to be multinucleate. Characterization of anastomosis groups (AG) based on hyphal anastomosis reactions showed that 91 isolates
Inoculum of Colletotrichum coccodes, the cause of potato black dot, is soil- or tuberborne. Understanding the disease potential of sources of inocula is crucial for developing disease management strategies and resistance screening techniques. Two hypotheses were tested in this study: (i) soilborne
In potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), mechanical damage can cause the formation of black spots in the tuber flesh as the result of oxidation of phenolic compounds. This damage can result in substantial economic losses and degradation of quality. External factors contributing to the Potato virus A (PVA; genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) occurs wherever potatoes are grown and may reduce tuber yields as much as 40%. Its host range consists of six experimental hosts (Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium (Jusl.) P. Mill., Nicandra physalodes (L.) Gaertn., Nicotiana tabacum L., Solanum
Colonization of potato plants by Colletotrichum coccodes after artificial inoculation of stems was modeled in relation to the severity of chlorosis and necrosis on foliage using logistic regression. C. coccodes internally colonized the stems up to 24 cm above the inoculation court (mean of 11.3 ±
