Phylogeographic Analysis of Soft-Rot-Causing spp. Strains Obtained from Cabbage in Serbia.

The aim of this study was to establish a link between genetic diversity and the geographic origin of strains belonging to three species-, , and -isolated from cabbage in Serbia by comparing their sequences with those of strains sourced from different hosts and countries in Europe, Asia, and North America. Phylogeographic relatedness was reconstructed using the Templeton, Crandall, and Sing's (TCS) haplotype network based on concatenated sequences of the housekeeping genes , , , and , while pairwise genetic distances were computed by applying the p-distance model. The obtained TCS haplotype networks indicated the existence of high intra-species genetic diversity among strains of all three species, as reflected in the 0.

Diversity of Bacterial Soft Rot-Causing Species Affecting Cabbage in Serbia.

The aim of this work was to identify and characterize the pectolytic bacteria responsible for the emergence of bacterial soft rot on two summer cabbage hybrids (Cheers F1 and Hippo F1) grown in the Futog locality (Bačka, Vojvodina), known for the five-century-long tradition of cabbage cultivation in Serbia. Symptoms manifesting as soft lesions on outer head leaves were observed during August 2021, while the inner tissues were macerated, featuring cream to black discoloration. As the affected tissue decomposed, it exuded a specific odor.

Genetic Diversity of Orobanche cumana Populations in Serbia.

In this study, we report genetic characterization of Orobanche cumana, the causal agent of sunflower wilting in Serbia. The genetic diversity of this parasitic plant in Serbia was not studied before. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and partial rbcL gene sequences analysis were used to characterize the O.

Oxidative Stress and Antioxidative Activity in Leaves and Roots of Carrot Plants Induced by Phytoplasma Solani.

The present study examined the effects of Phytoplasma solani infection on antioxidative metabolism in leaves and roots of carrot ( L.). Disease symptoms appeared at the end of June in the form of the chlorosis on some of the leaves, which became intensely red one week later, while the previously healthy leaves from the same branch becme chlorotic.

First report of 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' on carrot in Serbia.

At the beginning of July 2020, three-month-old carrot plants (Daucus carota L. variety Maestro F1) grown in a commercial field 1.2 ha in size at the Begeč locality (45°14'30.

var. Causing Root Rot of Cabbage and Oilseed Rape.

Cabbage, a widely used and popular vegetable, and oilseed rape, the second most valuable oilseed crop in the world, are two important species from the Brassicaceae family. Two geographically separated outbreaks of cabbage and oilseed rape root rot with estimated incidence of 15 and 20%, respectively, were recorded during 2017 in the Vojvodina region, Serbia. Twelve hyphal-tip isolates were obtained from symptomatic cabbage and oilseed rape plants and identified as var.

White Mustard ( L.) Oil in Biodiesel Production: A Review.

White mustard ( L.) seed oil is used for cooking, food preservation, body and hair revitalization, biodiesel production, and as a diesel fuel additive and alternative biofuel. This review focuses on biodiesel production from white mustard seed oil as a feedstock.
