Streptomyces species 1–14 isolated from cassava rhizosphere soil were evaluated for their antibacterial efficacy against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense race 4 (FOC4). Of the 63 strains tested, thirteen exhibited potent properties and further screened eight fungal pathogens. The strain that showed maximum inhibition all of test pathogens was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as sp. 1–14, selected studies. Through propagation in under simulated conditions, we found FOC4 did not significantly...
The essential oil of Tibetan medicine Dracocephalum heterophyllum Benth was obtained by hydrodistillation with a 0.7% (v/w) yield. chemical composition the analyzed gas chromatography-mass spectral (GC-MS). Eighty-three compounds, constituting about 89.83% total oil, were identified. main compound in Cineole (14.89%), trans-nerolido (7.10%), 1-m-ethyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-benzene (4.42%), Germacrene-D (4.84%), Decahydro-1,1,4,7-tetramethyl-4aH-cycloprop[e]azulen-4a-ol (4.94%),...
Drought is the one of most important environment stresses that restricts crop yield worldwide. Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) an food and energy has many desirable traits such as drought, heat low nutrients tolerance. However, mechanisms underlying drought tolerance in cassava are unclear. Ethylene signaling pathway, from upstream receptors to downstream transcription factors, plays roles environmental stress responses during plant growth development. In this study, we used...
Extracts from five Tibetan medicinal plants collected the Plateau were evaluated for antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in vitro and vivo. Viral plaque reduction assays showed that extracts four out of inhibited HSV-2 infection significantly with 50% effective concentrations (EC50) values ranging 0.35 ± 0.11 to 1.83 0.21 mg/mL. The other plant, Swertia mussotii Franch. (Gentianaceae), exhibited inhibiting viral biosynthesis. In attachment assay, two plants,...
