1. Potato lectin is a glycoprotein that contains about 47% (by weight) l-arabinose, 3% d-galactose and 11% hydroxyproline. It has a monomeric molecular weight of about 50000 and probably exists as a monomer-dimer system in aqueous solution, with the monomer predominating. It has a very high
Potato lectin (Solanum tuberosum agglutinin, STA), purified by affinity chromatography on tri-N-acetylchitotriose-Sepharose 6B, has Mr approximately 100,000, as estimated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and is an aggregating system with a monomer Mr = 54,000, as estimated by sedimentation
Potato lectin (Solanum tuberosum agglutinin, STA) is an unusual glycoprotein containing approximately 50% carbohydrates by weight. Of the total carbohydrates, 92% is contributed by L: -arabinose, which are O-linked to hydroxyproline residues. The ferric chloride-orcinol assay (Bial's test), which is
In South Africa, summer-flowering Arum lilies are grown for the tuber, potted plant, and cut flower markets. In 1998, an outbreak of soft rot was detected on Zantedischia oculata cv. Black Magic and Z. elliottiana plants from several nurseries. Crop losses of up to 25% were incurred. The initial
During a survey of potato scab pathogens in China from 2003 to 2012, a new pathogen was found in Shanxi and Neimenggu provinces. The incidence was approximately 20% of all recovered strains. The lesions caused by the pathogen were slightly raised and similar to those caused by Streptomyces scabies
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.
From 1999 to 2010, withering of white willow was observed on trees growing along roads or irrigation canals in Torino, Alessandria, and Vercelli provinces of Italy, with incidence varying from 15, 25, and 30%, respectively. In spring and autumn 2008, six samples from withering branches with bark
Konnyaku (Amorphophallus rivieri Durieu) is grown in some rural areas of China as an important cash crop. In 2011, there was a serious outbreak of Konnyaku soft rot in Xuanwei District of Yunnan Province of China. The disease was characterized by partial or complete tuber rot. At its anaphase, the
In 2006, a disease was observed on two artichoke (Cynara scolymus L. cv. Lardati) fields in Crete, Greece, covering ~2 ha. Symptoms developed after several days of rainy and windy weather and >70% of capitula were affected, resulting in unmarketable produce. Initial symptoms were water-soaked,
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
In 2002, soft rot symptoms on white flowered calla lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica) were found in some nurseries in the Yang Ming Shan area, Taipei, Taiwan. The disease was characterized by foul smelling rot and collapse of flower stems. Isolations from diseased flower stems consistently yielded
Because production of dry peas (Pisum sativum L.) is increasing in Spain, disease surveys were carried out from 2004 to 2006 in Castilla y Leon, the largest pea-producing region. In May of 2004, a leaf and stem blight caused an estimated 25% loss in yield in pea (cv. Messire) fields in El Cerrato
Severe outbreaks of bacterial stem rot disease occurred on dieffenbachia plants (Dieffenbachia amoena cv. Tropic Snow) during the autumn and spring seasons of 2002 and 2003 in two commercial glasshouses (3.5 ha) near Adana and Mersin in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Characteristic
Unusual symptoms were observed on 5% of the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) plants in commercial fields in South Korea in September 2008 and 2009. The lesions were at first water soaked, then enlarged and turned dark brown or black, often with concentric white rings and sometimes surrounded by a
In April 2001, necrotic lesions surrounded by thin, water-soaked halos were observed on cotyledons of 12-day-old melon seedlings (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus, cv. Baggio, Calipso, and Proteo) grown in plant beds in an unheated greenhouse located in the Province of Perugia (central Italy). The
