Management of Antracnosis with Electrochemically Activated Salt Solutions (EASSs) on Bean Culture.

Common bean ( L.) is an important crop for food security and for national economics for several countries worldwide. One of the most important factors of risk in common bean production is the fungal disease anthracnose caused by , which, in some cases, causes complete yield losses; this kind of plant disease is usually managed through the application of chemical products such as fungicides that are commonly not accepted by society.

Effect of Fragmented DNA From Plant Pathogens on the Protection Against Wilt and Root Rot of L. Plants.

Chili pepper ( L.) production is affected by wilt and root rot, the most devastating disease caused by the pathogen complex of oomycete Leon and the fungi Schlecht and Kühn, infecting roots, stems, leaves, and fruits. Fungicides are currently inefficient against this disease and have a high environmental impact.

Phytophthora capsici epidemic dispersion on commercial pepper fields in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Chili pepper blight observed on pepper farms from north Aguascalientes was monitored for the presence of Phytophthora capsici during 2008-2010. Initially, ELISA tests were directed to plant samples from greenhouses and rustic nurseries, showing an 86% of positive samples. Later, samples of wilted plants from the farms during the first survey were tested with ELISA.

Expression of ornithine decarboxylase of Coccidioides immitis in three Escherichia coli strains carrying the lambda DE3 lysogen and an E. coli EWH319 strain odc- null mutant.

Ornithine decarboxylase from respiratory fungal pathogen, Coccidioides immitis, cloned in the pETCiODC plasmid under control of T7lac promoter, was produced in E. coli BL21(DE3), BL21(DE3)pLysS, BLR(DE3) and EWH319 transformant strains. E.
