Abstract Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) is one of the most severe diseases grapevines, causing degeneration that transmitted by Xiphinema index. This paper aims to isolate species from Tunisian vineyard soil samples and assess their ability acquire transmit GFLV under natural controlled conditions. Based on morphological morphometric analyses, dagger nematodes were identified as X. index italiae. These results confirmed with molecular identification tools using species-specific polymerase...
Exotic pathogens cause severe damage in natural populations the absence of coevolutionary dynamics with their hosts. However, some resistance to such may occur naive populations. The objective this study was investigate genetics so-called 'exapted' two Asian origin (Erysiphe alphitoides and Phytophthora cinnamomi) European oak. Host-pathogen compatibility assessed by recording infection success pathogen growth a full-sib family Quercus robur under controlled conditions. Two high-resolution...
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a major disease problem of wheat worldwide. To optimize the introgression resistance genes in elite genotypes throughout traditional or molecular breeding programs, full understanding quantitative inheritance to Zymoseptoria tritici, plant height (PH), and thousand kernel weight (TKW) needed. In this study, maternal cytoplasmic effects STB were investigated using P1 (susceptible, high-yielding line) P2 (resistant, low-yielding durum lines their F1, RF1, F2,...
Quercus has been reported as the genus with largest number of attacking powdery mildews. In Europe, oak mildew was rarely before 1907, when severe outbreaks were observed. These epidemics attributed to newly described species Erysiphe alphitoides, presumed be exotic origin. After burst interest following emergence disease, research on this topic remained very limited. Interest in recently reactivated response availability molecular tools. This review summarizes current knowledge diversity...
Sixty-three isolates of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis collected from various wheat areas the north Tunisia were characterized and studied for their variability. Under in vitro conditions, morpho-cultural characterization showed presence several colors colonies. An inoculation bioassay was performed identifying three symptoms type i.e., small brown spots, chlorosis, necrosis with chlorosis. ANOVA leaf infected area lesion length data caused by significant difference, Ascending Hierarchical...
Tan spot disease caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis was becoming more bred in Tunisia during the last decade. The search for resistant varieties against increased virulence diversity of P. is presently considered as a priority. Seven most commercialized durum wheat (cvs. Maâli, Salim, Razzak, Monastir, Khiar, Inrat100, and Sculptur) were inoculated with five characterized fungal strains under field conditions, two seasons. variance analysis revealed that Ech8F6 B4.8 used inoculation are...
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a severe worldwide wheat foliar disease and has become common in Tunisia. Two hundred field surveys were conducted northern Tunisia during the 2017–2019 seasons to determine intensity correlation of tan spot with agricultural practices environmental factors. The infested 67% visited regions. highest prevalence (87.5%), incidence (> 30%), severity 10%) observed sub-humid regions, contrary middle semi-arid Logistic regression was used...
