The objective of this research was to select the best organic substrate for the production of the species Trichoderma viride. Eight solid substrates were evaluated for the production of conidia of T. viride, with incubation at 20°C or 25°C and photoperiod 12 h light / 12 h dark for 13 days. The variables evaluated were density (number of conidia/g of substrate), percentage of germination, and purity of conidia. The best substrate, in which the highest number of conidia was obtained, was the dried lima bean shell at 5, 9 and 13 days of evaluation, under production at 20°C. There was no statistically significant difference in the germination percentage and purity among the substrates evaluated. The best substrate regarding cost/benefit was the dried lima bean shell. It is concluded that this substrate is a new candidate for use in the production of T. viride by allowing a yield of 2 × 109 conidia/g at 20°C on day 5 and for being of lower economic value compared to whole rice.","PeriodicalId":16845,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Pathology & Microbiology","volume":"27 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83331870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has high nutritive and medicinal value. Papaya is also used as a source of cash-income. Production of papaya in Ethiopia is increasing through time; yet the average production and export is very low due to various abiotic and biotic factors. Among which, diseases cause much of the damage. Papaya is attacked by several diseases like, anthracnose, powdery mildew, black spot and papaya ring spot. Among the emerging diseases of papaya in Ethiopia, black spot disease caused by Asperisporium caricae is the most lethal by causing disease on photosynthetic and economic (fruit) plant parts. The fruits are affected on the surface, reducing the fresh-market value. In Ethiopia, Asperisporium caricae has been observed in most papaya producing areas. However, the severity of the pathogen has not been well profiled. The pathogen was not also characterized, which is the base to device management options. Currently, the use of fungicides and resistant cultivars are the preferred management options. This disease is found to be serious in the recent past few years by causing substantial economic loss. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to review the newly emerging black spot disease of papaya, its distribution and management options.","PeriodicalId":16845,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Pathology & Microbiology","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76694520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, its production is constantly threatened by pathogens that cause considerable economic losses and severe social impacts including phytoplasma. Phytoplasma is an emerging threat to sweet orange production which leads to severe yield losses worldwide. Phytoplasmas are phloem-limited pleomorphic bacteria, mainly transmitted through leafhoppers but also by plant propagation materials and seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical alterations in sweet orange plant as a response to phytoplasma infection. Phytoplasma-infected plants in this study, showed symptoms, such as yellowing of leaves, stunted and rolled foliage, unripened shoots and fruits, stunted roots or plant and “witches' broom”. Nested PCR confirmed the presence of phytoplasma in all the infected plants. Primary metabolites including chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll contents were significantly reduced. Meanwhile, carotenoid, proline and soluble protein were increased while soluble sugar, hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde were decreased in phytoplasma-infected plants. The secondary metabolites including phenolics, glycine betaine and anthocyanin were increased while ascorbic acid was decreased in the phytoplasma-infected plants. The activities of the antioxidative enzymes: ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase activities were increased in phytoplasma-infected plants. On the basis of comparing our findings with previous reports, it is clear that the responses of host plants to phytoplasma infection are complex and may vary among plants.","PeriodicalId":16845,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Pathology & Microbiology","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87223650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrated disease management approaches includes cultural practices, use of good quality seed, resistant varieties, seed treatment. In this study, we surveyed wheat plant samples from South Dakota to determinethe prevalence and distribution of root rot pathogens. F. graminearum and Bipolaris sorokiniana were recovered from 100% and 48% of the root samples (n=39) collected, respectively. Further, we studied the effect of F. graminearum on the seed germination and seedling blight on spring wheat cultivars under greenhouse and field conditions. F. graminearum significantly affected the seed germination and seedling blight in 11 spring wheat cultivars, ranging from 75-96% and 0-9%, respectively in infested seed as compared to uninfested seed (control). The cultivars ‘Forefront’ and ‘Select’ were least impacted by the pathogen; whereas, ‘Russ’ and ‘Oxen’ showed a significant reduction in germination and higher seedling blight. Field experiments were conducted to determine the impact of source of inoculum, fungicide seed treatment and varieties on seed germination and seedling survival at two locations in 2015 and 2016. Cultivars Russ and Oxen showed poor seed germination and high seedling blight; whereas, Forefront, Selectand Briggs had higher germination and seedling survival. Fungicide treatment significantly increased seed germination. The source of inoculum was significant in 2015, however, it was not significant in 2016 due to less disease pressure. Our results showed that F. graminearum lowers seed germination and causes seedling blight in wheat cultivars and genetic variability exists incultivars. Hence the use of fungicide seed treatment can reduce the germination losses caused by the pathogen for fields likely to have high inoculum pressure or likely infested seed and use of tolerant cultivars like Forefront can further reduce the losses due to crown and root rot diseasent.","PeriodicalId":16845,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Pathology & Microbiology","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91059285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With traditional breeding and marker assisted selection, there have been several achievements in breeding for diseases resistance. Most research for disease resistance has been focused on major disease resistance genes which are highly effective although very vulnerable to breakdown with rapid changes in pathogenic races. In contrast, breeding for minor gene quantitative resistance can produce more durable plant varieties although it is very slow and challenging breeding. As the genetic architecture of the plant disease resistance shifts from single major R genes to many minor quantitative genes, the most appropriate approach for molecular plant breeding is genomic selection (GS) than marker assisted selection or conventional breeding. With the advent of new genomic tools, GS has emerged as one of the most important approaches for predicting genotype performance to improve genetically complex quantitative traits. Consequently, GS helps to accelerate the rate of genetic gain in breeding by using whole genome sequence data to predict the breeding value of offspring. GS breeding for quantitative resistance will therefore necessitate whole genome prediction models and selection methodology as implemented for classical complex traits. With the implementation of GS for yield and other economically important traits, whole genome marker profiles are available for the entire set of breeding lines, enabling genomic selection for disease resistance with no additional direct cost. Therefore, recent developments in GS including a two stream GS + de novo GWAS models (GS+) and GS for combined highest level of quantitative resistance with R genes (QR +R gene) individuals are expected to further advance disease resistance plant breeding and briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":16845,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Pathology & Microbiology","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88836063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of TEF 1-α and IGS revealed that three isolates belonged to the Fusarium oxysporum species complex, while two other isolates were identified as members of the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex. Furthermore, isolates from the same complex shared the same ITS2 sequence. Inoculation using spores of each isolate on the roots of Musa sp. AAB cv.

Six treatment combinations of OBD and NPK fertilizers were applied as a split plot in a randomized complete block design in three replicates. The treatment levels were OBD-plus organic fertilizer at 5t/ha (OBD5), 10t/ha (OBD10) and 15t/ha (OBD15), and in combination with NPK 15-15-15 mineral fertilizer applied at 300 kg/ha: (OBD5NPK, OBD10NPK and OBD15NPK). Fertilizer NPK applied at 300 kg/ha, served as control treatment. Twelve weeks after planting, the seeds were harvested, shelled, dried and stored for 4 weeks at room temperature. They were cultured weekly using the blotter method and scored for viability and fungal incidence; while the data collected were subjected to ANOVA using the GLM procedure of SAS. Isolated fungi include: Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Penicillium notatum, Mucor species and Fusarium verticillioides. Occurrences of F. verticillioides and A. flavus were significantly higher than other fungi in that order (p ≤ 0.01, R2=0.66). F values for viability, isolated fungi, treatment, model, week of storage, interactions between treatment and fungi, and between week of storage and fungi were all highly significant (p>0.001). Generally, fungal incidence in seeds treated with OBD only was significantly higher than in control (NPK only). However, F. verticillioides and A. niger in seeds treated with OBD only were significantly lower than in control (p ≤ 0.05). Fungal incidence in seeds treated with OBD only was significantly lower than that in seeds treated with OBD and NPK (p ≤ 0.01, R2=0.66). Viability (p ≤ 0.01, R2=0.62) and fungal incidence in the seeds (p ≤ 0.01, R2=0.66) increased significantly with increase in week of storage. In storage, viabilities of seeds treated with OBD only were significantly higher than those treated with OBD and NPK (p ≤ 0.01). Thus, separate application of OBD fertilizer is strongly associated with lower fungal incidence in maize seeds and higher seed viability. Higher application of OBD fertilizer may be associated with increased viability and lower incidences of certain fungi in maize seeds. Appropriate use of OBD fertilizer only in the field by farmers might sustain viability and appreciably reduce fungal incidence in maize seeds during long storage.","PeriodicalId":16845,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Pathology & Microbiology","volume":"2019 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79482586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
