Interaction of Meloidogyne incognita and Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata in different types of soil on plant growth, photosynthetic pigments and proline contents of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.).

Effect of Meloidogyne incognita and Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata (Psa) was observed singly, together and pre and post inoculations in 4 soil types on plant growth parameters, chlorophyll, carotenoid and proline contents of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.).

Use of manganese oxide nanoparticle (MnO NPs) and Pseudomonas putida for the management of wilt disease complex of carrot.

Wilt disease complex of carrot is caused by Ralstonia solancearum and Meloidogyne incognita and is responsible for considerable yield loss. Manganese oxide nanoparticle (MnO NPs) and Pseudomonas putida were used alone and in combination for the management of wilt disease complex. In vitro, MnO NPs 0.

Potential of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles in plant disease diagnostics and management: Recent advances and challenges.

Plant diseases caused by phytopathogens are a severe threat to global food production. Management of plant diseases mostly rely on the application of pesticides which have several adverse effects on the ecosystem. Innovative and high-performance diagnostic tools are useful for the early detection of phytopathogens.

Effects of silicon dioxide, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles on Meloidogyne incognita, Alternaria dauci and Rhizoctonia solani disease complex of carrot.

Foliar spray of silicon dioxide (SiO NPs), zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) and titanium dioxide (TiO NPs) nanoparticles were used for the management of Meloidogyne incognita, Alternaria dauci and Rhizoctonia solani disease complex of carrot. Foliar spray of SiO NPs/ZnO NPs or TiO NPs increased plant growth attributes, chlorophyll and carotenoid of carrot. Foliar spray of 0.

Belatacept in kidney transplantation - past and future perspectives.

Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are used widely for maintenance immunosuppression in renal transplant recipients. However, their side effect profile has led researchers to attempt to find safer alternatives that can maintain effective long-term immunosuppression with less toxicity. Belatacept is a CTLA4-Ig molecule designed to block the costimulatory B7-CD28 signal needed for activation of effector T cells.

Detecting nonculturable bacteria in the active mycorrhizal zone of the pine mushroom Tricholoma matsutake.

The fungus Tricholoma matsutake forms an ectomycorrhizal relationship with pine trees. Its sporocarps often develop in a circle, which is commonly known as a fairy ring. The fungus produces a solid, compact, white aggregate of mycelia and mycorrhizae beneath the fairy ring, which in Japanese is called a 'shiro'.

Sensitive spectrofluorimetric method of analysis for venlafaxine in spiked rat plasma and formulations.

A simple, sensitive, accurate and affordable spectrofluorimetric method was developed and validated for the determination of venlafaxine, both in marketed preparations as well as in spiked rat plasma. Venlafaxine depicted strong native fluorescence property in freshly prepared 0.05 M sulphuric acid.

Biocontrol of Meloidogyne incognita on tomato using antagonistic fungi, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria and cattle manure.

Background: Biocontrol achieved by a single biocontrol agent is generally inconsistent under field conditions. The aim of the present study was to increase the competitiveness and efficacy of biocontrol agents by using them together with cattle manure.

Results: The effects of antagonistic fungi [Aspergillus niger v.

Effects of fly ash, Pseudomonas striata and Rhizobium on the reproduction of nematode Meloidogyne incognita and on the growth and transpiration of pea.

Glasshouse experiments were conducted twice to assess the ash amendments (0, 20, and 40% with soil), a phosphate solubilizing microorganism Pseudomonas striata and a root-nodule bacterium Rhizobium sp on the reproduction of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and on the growth and transpiration of pea. Amendments of fly ash with soil had no effect on transpiration. However, M.

Effects of plant growth promoting bacteria and composed organic fertilizers on the reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita and tomato growth.

Glasshouse experiments were conducted to assess the influence of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Azotobacter chroococcum, Azospirillum brasilense and composted organic fertilizers (cow dung, horse dung, goat dung and poultry manure) alone and in combination on the multiplication of Meloidogyne incognita and growth of tomato. P. fluorescens was better at improving tomato growth and reducing galling and nematode multiplication than A.

Effects of Alternaria triticina and foliar fly ash deposition on growth, yield, photosynthetic pigments, protein and lysine contents of three cultivars of wheat.

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of Alternaria triticina with and without foliar dusting of fly ash (0.0, 2.5, 5.

Effects of fly ash and Helminthosporium oryzae on growth and yield of three cultivars of rice.

A 120-day greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of various fly ash concentrations (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% vol/vol) with normal field soil and Helminthosporium oryzae on the growth and yield of three cultivars (Pusa Basmati, Pant-4 and Pant-10) of rice, Oryza sativa L. Application of 20% and 40% fly ash with soil caused a significant increase in plant growth and yield of all the three cultivars. Forty percent fly ash caused a higher increase in growth and yield than did 20%.
