is a forage crop of choice for farmers, and it model species molecular research. The growth development subsequent yields are limited by water availability mainly in arid semi-arid regions. Our study aims to evaluate the morpho-physiological, biochemical responses deficit stress four lines (TN6.18, JA17, TN1.11 A10)
Fusarium and Rhizoctonia genera are important pathogens of many field crops worldwide. They constantly evolving expanding their host range. Selecting resistant cultivars is an effective strategy to break infection cycles. To this end, we screened a collection Medicago truncatula accessions against oxysporum, solani, solani strains isolated from different plant species. Despite the small collection, biodiversity in disease response M. ranging phenotypes highly susceptible ones was observed....
A faba bean rhizospheric Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate RZ9 was used for studying its antifungal activity and protecting effects of common against the root pathogen Fusarium culmorum strain MZB47. The dual culture tests showed that inhibits MZB47 in vitro growth by 56%. When mixing cell suspension with macroconidia at equal proportion, viability reduced 70%. Pathogenicity conducted sterile conditions caused an intense rotting ‘Aquadulce’ plantlets a slight level ‘Coco blanc’. This associated...
Phytopathogen infection alters primary metabolism status and plant development. The alternative oxidase (AOX) has been hypothesized to increase under pathogen attack preventing reductions, thus optimizing photosynthesis growth. In this study, two genotypes of Medicago truncatula, one relatively resistant (Jemalong A17) susceptible (TN1.11), were infected with Fusarium oxysporum Rhizoctonia solani. in vivo foliar respiratory activities the cytochrome pathway (COP) (AOP) measured using oxygen...
