A Rhizobacterium, Z1-04-02, Displays Antifungal Activity against Sclerotium Rot in Mungbean.

Sclerotium rot causes damping-off and stem rot in seedlings and mature mungbeans, which negatively impacts cultivation. The use of a rhizobacterium to control soil-borne diseases is an alternative method to the excess use of synthetic fungicides; therefore, this study aims to screen rhizosphere actinobacteria with fungicidal activities against , the pathogen that causes sclerotium rot in mungbeans. Primary screening showed that the sp.

Tobacco Mosaic Virus Infection of Chrysanthemums in Thailand: Development of Colorimetric Reverse-Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) Technique for Sensitive and Rapid Detection.

We detected tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), a member of the genus and one of the most significant plant-infecting viruses, for the first time in a chrysanthemum in Thailand using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The TMV-infected chrysanthemum leaves exhibited mosaic symptoms. We conducted a sequence analysis of the coat protein () gene and found that the TMV detected in the chrysanthemum had 98% identity with other TMV isolates in GenBank.

Genomic relationship and physiochemical properties among raw materials used for Thai black garlic processing.

Raw materials used for black garlic (BG) processing were collected from the major garlic production areas in Northern Thailand. Five of those were identified as of Thai origin (accession G1-G5), and accession G6 was of the Chinese variety. They were initially analyzed for varietal differences using morphological characteristics and genetic variation.
