Biological control of the native endophytic fungus from the root nodule of on Fusarium wilt of banana TR4.

Fusarium wilt of banana caused by f. sp. , Tropical Race 4 (TR4) is a soil-borne disease, and it is devastating.

Banana disease-suppressive soil drives assembled to defense Fusarium wilt of banana.

Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) caused by f. sp. tropical race 4 ( TR4), poses a serious problem for sustainable banana production.

Effect of natural weed and Siratro cover crop on soil fungal diversity in a banana cropping system in southwestern China.

Introduction: Natural weed cover and a legume cover crop were examined to determine if they could impact soil fungal diversity as an indicator of soil quality in banana production.

Methods: Banana in Yunnan Province, China, was grown under three treatments: conventional tillage (bare soil), natural weed cover (primarily goosegrass ( (L.) Gaerth)), or a cover crop (Siratro ( (DC.

Disentangling the resistant mechanism of Fusarium wilt TR4 interactions with different cultivars and its elicitor application.

Fusarium wilt of banana, especially Tropical Race 4 (TR4) is a major factor restricting banana production. Developing a resistant cultivar and inducing plant defenses by elicitor application are currently two of the best options to control this disease. Isotianil is a monocarboxylic acid amide that has been used as a fungicide to control rice blast and could potentially induce systemic acquired resistance in plants.

A Real-Time Fluorescent Reverse Transcription Quantitative PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Genetic Markers' Expression Associated with Fusarium Wilt of Banana Biocontrol Activities in .

Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by f. sp. (), especially Tropical Race 4 (TR4), seriously threatens banana production worldwide.

Complete mitochondrial genome of banana new pest (Coleoptera: Eumolpinae) and phylogenetic analysis.

(Motschulsky, 1860) is a banana new pest and mainly distributed in Eastern Asia. The complete mitogenome of (GenBank accession number MT627597) is 15,762 bp in size, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and a noncoding D-loop region. The D-loop region is located between and .

Identification and Fine Mapping of (t), a New Gene Conferring Broad-Spectrum Resistance Against From Steud.

The discovery and deployment of new broad-spectrum resistance () genes from cultivated rice and its wild relatives is a strategy to broaden the genetic basis of modern rice cultivars to combat rice blast disease. possessing many valuable traits for tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, is an elite gene pool for improvement of Asian cultivated rice. An introgression line IL106 derived from (Acc.

New Geographical Insights of the Latest Expansion of f.sp. Tropical Race 4 Into the Greater Mekong Subregion.

Banana is the most popular and most exported fruit and also a major food crop for millions of people around the world. Despite its importance and the presence of serious disease threats, research into this crop is limited. One of those is Panama disease or Fusarium wilt.

Fine mapping of Pi57(t) conferring broad spectrum resistance against Magnaporthe oryzae in introgression line IL-E1454 derived from Oryza longistaminata.

Wild species of the genus Oryza are excellent gene pools for improvement of agronomic traits of Asian cultivated rice. The blast resistance gene Pi57(t) in the introgression line IL-E1454 derived from Oryza longistaminata was previously mapped on rice chromosome 12. Inoculation with 322 Magnaporthe oryzae isolates collected from 6 countries indicated that Pi57(t) conferred broad spectrum resistance against M.

Molecular cloning and characterization of a calreticulin cDNA from the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.

The cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding a calreticulin from the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is described herein. The full-length cDNA (Bx-crt-1) contained a 1200 bp open reading frame that could be translated to a 399 amino acid polypeptide. The deduced protein contained highly conserved regions of a calreticulin gene and had 66.
