ABSTRACT The phyllosphere is colonized by a wide variety of bacteria and fungi; it harbors epiphytes, as well plant-pathogenic even human pathogens. However, little known about how the bacterial community composition on leafy greens develops over time. leafy-green obtained from two plantings rocket salad ( Diplotaxis tenuifolia ) three lettuce Lactuca sativa at farms in Norway were profiled an Illumina MiSeq-based approach. We found that richness L. samples was significantly greater shortly...
Sclerotinia species are important fungal pathogens of a wide range crops and wild host plants. While the biology population structure S. sclerotiorum has been well-studied, little information is available for related subarctica. In this study, isolates were collected from different crop plants Ranuculus ficaria (meadow buttercup) in England, Scotland Norway to determine incidence subarctica examine pathogen first time. Incidence was very low comprising only 4.3% while moderate high...
Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) threatens maize, sorghum, and millet production in Africa. Despite rigorous work done to reduce FAW prevalence, the dynamics invasion mechanisms are still poorly understood. This study applied interdisciplinary tools, analytics, algorithms on a dataset provide insights projections intensity of infestation across The data collected between January 2018 December 2020 were matched with monthly average climatic environmental variables....
ABSTRACT We evaluated direct and interactive effects of light quality intensity, temperature light, diurnal rhythms, timing high relative humidity during long day lengths on sporulation Bremia lactucae, the causal agent lettuce downy mildew, using inoculated seedlings detached cotyledons. Suppression by was strongly dependent upon there little suppression at </=10 degrees C. The most suppressive waveband in range from 400 to 450 nm, although a lesser effect wavebands 500 550 nm could be...
Aims Bacterial decays of onion bulbs have serious economic consequences for growers, but the aetiologies these diseases are often unclear. We aimed to determine role Rahnella, which we commonly isolated from in United States and Norway, disease. Methods Results Isolated bacteria were identified by sequencing housekeeping genes and/or fatty acid methyl ester analysis. A subset Rahnella spp. strains was also assessed multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA); most belonged two clades that appear...
Abstract Norwegian field production of lettuce has increased considerably since the early 1990s. Disease problems rarely required fungicide applications before 1996, when downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) caused severe losses. From 2002 to 2004, surveys were conducted identify fungal diseases in Buskerud, Vestfold and Østfold counties south-east Rogaland County south-west, representing main regions Norway. The distribution incidence B. lactucae was highly variable, but this pathogen most...
Cultivated blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) was recently introduced in Norway, and most plantings were established the 1990's. Many of these died back or had severe damage on leaves stems. Plant pathogens incombination with frost injury suspected to be cause damage. In 1998-99, field greenhouse surveyed for occurrence plant pathogenic saprophytic fungi. A total 33 different fungi identified 18 cultivars from 23 (19 4 greenhouse). Of these, 12 fungi, while 21 non-pathogenic, secondary invaders....
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, situation in Africa remains a priority threat despite significant efforts made since the first outbreaks 2016 to control pest and thereby reduce yield losses. Field surveys Benin Mali reported that approximately one-week post-emergence of maize plants, presence armyworm (egg/neonates) could be observed field. Scouting for eggs neonates is, however, difficult time consuming. In this study, we therefore hypothesized optimum timeframe female arriving...
