A comprehensive survey was performed to assess fungal populations associated with crown and root rot of wheat throughout the main wheat-growing areas Azerbaijan. Samples were taken from 76 fields; 630 strains isolated, identified, evaluated for pathogenicity. The identification conducted morphological molecular tools such as species-specific PCR DNA sequencing internal transcribed spacer (ITS) translation elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α) loci. fungus found in greatest number fields (44)...

Fungal species associated with crown and root rot diseases in wheat have been extensively studied many parts of the world. However, no reports on relative importance distribution pathogens Kyrgyzstan published. Hence, fungal crown/root were surveyed three main production regions northern Kyrgyzstan. isolated 1/5 strength potato-dextrose agar amended streptomycin (0.1 g/L) chloramphenicol (0.05 g/L). A total 598 isolates from symptomatic tissues identified using morphological features...

A total of 132 Rhizoctonia isolates were recovered from red cabbage plants with root rot and wirestem symptoms in the province Samsun (Turkey) between 2018 2019. Based on sequence analysis internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region located 18S 28S ribosomal RNA genes including nuclear staining, these 124 assigned to multinucleate solani, eight binucleate Rhizoctonia. The most prevalent anastomosis group (AG) was AG 4 (84%), which subdivided into HG-I (81%) HG-III (3%), followed by 5 (10%) AG-A...

Spot blotch caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana is a destructive disease of wheat worldwide. This study investigated the aggressiveness B. isolates from different wheat-growing areas Bolu province in Turkey on cultivar Seri-82. Host susceptibility 55 cultivars was evaluated against most aggressive isolate. Our results indicated that Anafarta and Koç-2015 were resistant. A specific sensitive qPCR assay developed for detecting pathogen plant tissues evaluating plants with resistance levels. Three...

Genetic variation among the Azerbaijani isolates of anamorphs Cochliobolus spp., causal agents common root rot wheat, was evaluated using pathogenicity assessments, sequence analyses internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) gene, as well inter-simple repeat (ISSR) inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers. Twenty-eight used in this study were obtained from diseased wheat plants cereal growing regions Azerbaijan 2017. Bipolaris sorokiniana,...

Triticale (×Triticosecale Wittmack) is obtained from wheat × rye crossing. It positioned between and in terms of resistance to soilborne pathogens including Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, Fusarium culmorum, F. avenaceum, Bipolaris sorokiniana (Arseniuk Góral 2015). In 2019, seven triticale fields were surveyed Almaty Province, Kazakhstan examine soil-borne fungal pathogens. A total 28 symptomatic plants with stunting, rot or discolored root collected identify causal agents. The...

Ambrosia beetles, Anisandrus dispar Fabricius, Xylosandrus germanus Blandford, and Xyleborinus saxesenii Ratzeburg (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are among the most significant hazelnut pests in Turkey. The control of these is difficult expensive due to their biology. present study aimed isolate entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) from A. dispar, X. germanus, individuals that were obtained main production areas Turkey, characterize EPF isolates using internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-DNA...

Bu çalışmada, kışlık buğdaylarda kök ve kökboğazı çürüklüğüne sebep olan farklı Fusarium türlerine ait izolatlar arasındaki genetik çeşitlik, retrotranspozon temelli primerler arası bağlanma bölgesi (iPBS) markörleri kullanılarak incelenmiştir. amaçla, 2017 2018 yıllarında Türkiye Azerbaycan buğday yetiştirme alanlarından 32 türü izolat elde edilmiştir. İzolatlar arasında en yaygın bulunan tür 23 ile F. culmorum olarak belirlenmiş, bunu beş pseudograminearum dört graminearum takip etmiştir....

Objective: Selenium (Se) is garnering interest as a promising environmentally friendly element for controlling fungal pathogens in agricultural production. This study evaluated the impact of Se treatments, comprising sodium selenite (selenite) and selenate (selenate) forms, on growth 10 plant pathogenic fungi. Materials Methods: The treatments mycelial sporulation fungi was assessed vitro conditions. Probit analysis used to determine concentrations salts that induced 50% reduction (EC50)...

<title>Abstract</title> The European chestnut (<italic>Castanea sativa</italic>) is an important nut crop that grows naturally in the Black Sea and Aegean regions of Turkey. This study examined genetic diversity population structure genotypes from prominent Turkey using Start Codon Targeted Polymorphism (SCoT) markers. A total 44 Turkish Aegean, Marmara, regions, along with a control group French variety, were analyzed. SCoT primers underwent tests to select most suitable ones, producing 8...
