Differential Response of Mycorrhizal Plants to and Infection.

(TBSV) and (ToMV) are important economic pathogens in tomato fields. is a species of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus that provides nutrients to host plants. To understand the effect of on the infection by TBSV/ToMV in tomato plants, in a completely randomized design, five treatments, including uninfected control plants without AM fungi (C), uninfected control plants with AM fungi (M) TBSV/ToMV-infected plants without AM fungi (V), TBSV/ToMV-infected plants before mycorrhiza (VM) inoculation, and inoculated plants with mycorrhiza before TBSV/ToMV infection (MV), were studied.

Occurrence and distribution of Potato virus Y strain N (PVY(N)) on celery in Iran.

Celery (Apium graveolens) is an important crop grown in many countries. Different types of diseases present a major constraint to Celery production and can lead to significant reductions in yield Potato Virus Y, the type member of the genus Potyvirus(family Potyviridae) is one of the causal agents of viral diseases in crops. In the present study, PVY occurring in celery fields was determined as the causal agent of mosaic disease of celery (Apium graveolens).
