Article Synopsis
- A study focused on isolating and characterizing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from the chili rhizosphere in Pakistan aimed to combat a soil-borne oomycete causing post-emergence damping-off in chili pepper.
- Out of 28 bacterial isolates tested, eight demonstrated significant ability to suppress the pathogen and enhance plant growth attributes like germination and root development.
- The successful PGPR isolates produced beneficial compounds, showed non-pathogenicity towards chili seeds, and improved plant defense mechanisms against the damping-off disease, indicating their potential in sustainable agriculture practices.
Article Synopsis
- * A study surveyed five potato-growing areas in Pakistan to assess the genetic diversity of the pathogen, identifying 50 isolates and confirming ten as virulent through various analytical methods.
- * The research found that different potato cultivars exhibited varying susceptibility to the pathogen, with the Faisalabad white variety showing the highest scab index, contributing to better understanding and management of the pathogen globally.
Background: Acute stroke patients are usually transported to the nearest hospital regardless of their required level of care. This can lead to increased pressure on emergency departments and treatment delay.
Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the benefit of a mobile stroke unit (MSU) in the UK National Health Service (NHS) for reduction of hospital admissions.
Article Synopsis
- - Phytophthora capsici is a harmful fungus that affects crops, particularly chilli pepper, at different growth stages; researchers identified two highly virulent isolates through morphological and pathogenicity tests.
- - The study isolated fifteen bacteria from the chilli pepper rhizosphere, with eight showing potential to inhibit P. capsici growth in lab tests, all identified as species of Pseudomonas and Bacillus through genetic analysis.
- - Greenhouse experiments demonstrated that these beneficial bacteria significantly reduced P. capsici infections and improved plant growth, suggesting their use in developing eco-friendly bioformulations as an alternative to synthetic pesticides.
