The aim of this study was to develop a method of controlling root-knot nematodes with aqueous extracts of castor bean, and to evaluate the effect of these extracts on these agents. Firstly, a sampling which consisted of taking the roots presenting galls and the soil was carried out in a tomato plantation in the region of Tchologo (Côte d'Ivoire) more precisely at Camp Agropastoral Sika (CapSIKA). The analysis carried out showed that there is a significant difference between the number of nematodes in the soil and in the roots of the samples taken, (p-value0.05). A large number of nematodes were observed in the roots compared to the soil. Then, the extracted nematodes were used for a pathogenicity test to verify their involvement in the appearance of galls in tomato roots. Galls were observed on inoculated tomato plants following this test. Subsequently, the individuals were exposed to the aqueous extract of castor bean (Ricinus communis) at concentrations of 100, 75, 50 and 25%, the control group was not brought into contact with the aqueous extract of castor bean. Mortality and immobility rates were determined. A significant difference between the number of immobile and dead individuals in the extracts (P0.05) was obtained following the statistical analyses. The results made it possible to show the nematicidal nature of the aqueous extract of castor bean under controlled conditions (in vitro). This extract could be used for the control of Meloidogyne after testing its effectiveness in open fields.","PeriodicalId":36106,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Phytopathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136300148","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}

Though, management strategies reduce disease significantly but blast epidemics are still common. This research was aimed to determine the variability among the 19 Pyricularia oryzae isolates of South-Western regions of Bangladesh. Morphological variability was determined based on nine morphological components like front mycelial color, reverse mycelial color, growth behavior, conidial length (μm), conidial width (μm), conidial color, radial growth at 12 days (mm), 14 days (mm) and 16 days (mm) after incubation. Cluster analysis considering nine morphological components showed five distinct groups. Front and reverse mycelial color, growth behavior and conidial length played more than 80% role in generating variation among the nine tested components. Higher genetic variation was also detected among the 19 isolates of P. oryzae. Here, larger numbers of amplified DNA fragments was formed by Primers UCB-155 which showed distinct polymorphism. Between two clusters, Cluster II consists of 18 isolates that were originated from different origin but having maximum 94% genetical similarity. Cluster I contain only one isolates PO-16. From pair wise distance matrix, maximum distance (80%) was found between PO-16 and PO-03 isolates and minimum distance (6%) was obtained between the isolates PO-11 and PO-12. Results of this experiment revealed that, higher genetic diversity among isolates of P. oryzae existed in the south western region of Bangladesh but there has no direct relation with genetic diversity and geographical origin.","PeriodicalId":36106,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Phytopathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136300147","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}

However, the use of fungicides by the farmers is excessive and ill-advised, resulting in the emergence of new resistant strains of Pyricularia oryzae. The ill-advised employment of fungicides can be timed exploring the role of environmental factors favourable for this disease. The objective of current study was to determine the most favourable weather conditions for RBD in central Punjab, Pakistan, where this crop is mostly cultivated. Environmental factors including maximum and minimum temperatures (max and min temp), rainfall (Rf), relative humidity (Rh) and wind speed (Ws) conducive for RBD were characterized during this study. For this purpose, eight years (2009-2016) RBD severity data of susceptible to highly susceptible genotypes together with environmental data (max and min temp, Rf, Rh and Ws) was collected from Kala Shah Kako (KSK), Rice Research Institute (RRI), Punjab, Pakistan. The genotypes were being cultivated for eight years in randomized complete block design (RCBD), and data was kept on recording during the months of high disease pressure. Data was collected after ten days interval using disease scoring scale developed by International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) during 1996. Simple linear regression models were used to determine the relationship of environmental factors with RBD severity. The variation in RBD severity due to environmental factors was determined using coefficient of determination (R2). In present study, the relationship of max temp, Rf, Rh and Ws with RBD severity was positive, significant and linear, however, the relationship of min temp with RBD severity was negative. Max temp 40-42°C, min temp 21-23°C, Rf 2-3mm, Rh 50-70% and Ws 9-11 Km/h were found to be most favourable environmental conditions for RBD severity. The current research disclosed the significant role of all five environmental factors in the spread of RBD. Thus, future predictive models could be established using these five environmental factors for more accurate prediction of this disease in rice belt of Punjab, Pakistan, to time the application of fungicides.","PeriodicalId":36106,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Phytopathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136300149","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}

This study used to determine the global metabolites involved in the disease citrus greening. The CLas infection in citrus cultivars was detected through qRT-PCR. The Ct value ranged from 36.3 or no Ct value for the healthy samples. Here we report the first metabolic profiling of the vast range of targetted metabolites of ten citrus cultivars of Pakistan via LC-MS analysis.

A total of 500 statistically verified metabolites were detected in the leaves. Negative ion mode indicated 57% of metabolites, whereas 43% were identified in positive ion mode with good separation. Potential differences among the global metabolites of varying classes included sugars, amino acids, organic acids, phenolic acids, organic acids, carboxylic and nucleic acids, and flavonoids in positive and negative ion modes. There was an approximately 50% chance in negative ions that known metabolites separating healthy and HLB-infected leaf samples. Many untargeted compounds were also detected which were not found in the LC-MS (MZmine freeware) database, indicating the possibility of identifying novel metabolites that could be used as molecular markers for HLB diagnosis and management.

Recent findings suggest that Verticillium wilt has been affecting potato crops in abundant domains around the global world, including in North America, parts of Europe, and Asia. In some cases, the disease has been observed in fields where it has not been previously reported, indicating that it has been spreading. Farmers and researchers are working to manage the disease through a variety of measures, including rotation of crops, the use of resistant varieties of potato developed from resistant strains, and the application of fungicides. However, the potency of these measures can vary depending on the ferocity of the disease and the local growing circumstances. Overall, the recent findings of Verticillium wilt in potato underscore the importance of continued monitoring and research to better understand the disease and develop effective management strategies.

The emergence of new virulent races of fungal pathogens threatens wheat cultivars’ resistance, leading to outbreaks that can cause substantial damage to crops and result in economic losses to farmers. Developing wheat cultivars that have resistance to virulent races is an effective means of reducing the frequency and impact of these outbreaks. An experiment was conducted at 5 locations (a trap nursery consisting of 37 lines of wheat leaf rust differentials and 115 commercial wheat cultivars was established against leaf rust pathogen), for evaluating the virulence pattern of leaf rust under natural field environments across wheat-producing regions of Sindh, Pakistan. Results revealed that Lr9, Lr19 and Lr28 genes were found effective under field environments. The moderate resistance was recorded for Lr18, Lr23 and Lr34 genes at two locations while Lr36 Lr37 genes had moderate resistance at most of the locations. Results also revealed that Rawal-87, Marvi-2000, Bhittai, Pirsabak-08, Faisalabad-08, Benazir-13 and Shalakot-13 were the commercial wheat varieties having resistance at all locations of Sindh during (year 1 and year 2) years while most of the cultivars showed susceptibility. The scenario clue to a dire necessity to widen the genetic base of Pakistani cultivars by incorporating genes for the resistance against disease.

Observations were taken at interval of 30 days after sowing on incidence and severity of CLCuD under field conditions. Then the disease index was calculated from values of initial observations on incidence and severity of the disease at each time point and finally Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) was calculate for the disease index and presented as semi-quantitative estimate of the disease. Results showed that there was significant difference among AUDPC values of the disease index of tested genotype (LSD=41666, P=0,0000 and LSD=70297, P= 0.0000) during 2018 and 2019, respectively.

The use of high quality seeds is one of the conditions for an efficient crop production. As the fungus is a seedborne, use of clean and certified seeds is important for disease control especially for use in organic farming. Resistance inducers, commercially formulated and non-formulated selected bacterial strains were applied as seed treatments on naturally infested seeds and were tested under controlled and field conditions. Most of these treatments had positive effect on seed germination. Among the seven resistance inducers tested in greenhouse experiments, Jasmonic acid had the best result and increased seed germination by 25.6%.
