Fungi of genus Botrytis are important pathogens legumes, causing gray mold and chocolate spot diseases. The use molecular methods to identify has resulted in the discovery several new species associations with Thus, faba bean is now associated at least four species: B. fabae, cinerea, pseudocinerea fabiopsis. Species differ host plant, pathogenicity, fungicide resistance other relevant properties that affect disease control. aim this study was isolated from different legume crops evaluate...
The gut microbiome is a versatile system regulating numerous aspects of host metabolism. Among other traits, variations in the composition microbial communities are related to blood lipid patterns and hyperlipidaemia, yet inconsistent association exist. This study aims assess relationships between profiles among healthy adults. used data samples from 23 adult participants previously conducted dietary intervention study. Circulating measurements whole-metagenome sequences were derived 180...
Wheat grains are inhabited by different fungi, including plant pathogens and fungi – mycotoxin producers. The composition of seed mycobiota can be influenced factors, agronomic practices, but the results still contradictory. aim this study was to evaluate wheat depending on agroecological conditions. were obtained from a two-factorial field trial: A tillage system (A1 ploughing at depth 22–24 cm; A2 harrowing up 10 cm); B crop rotation (B1 continuous wheat; B2 oilseed rape B3 rotation)....
Abstract Survival in the soil seed bank is critical to a weed maintaining populations arable lands. The role of seed‐borne fungi decay or survival needs be determined find solutions for reducing banks environmentally friendly ways. In this study, changes fungal microbiome after burial were two economically important species, wild oat and barnyard grass. Seeds collected different buried sites exhumed at intervals over period 1.5 years test fate. Epiphytic endophytic microbiota seeds was...
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is gaining importance as a crop in northern Europe.In this region, the most important disease of chocolate spot disease, attributed to pathogen Botrytis fabae.However, other species have been found contribute disease.Hence, it was decided isolate fungi from plants showing symptoms Latvia, identify using DNA sequences three definitive genes, evaluate morphological diversity isolates vitro and, finally, determine pathogenicity detached-leaf test.In addition B. fabae,...
Abstract Maize is becoming more and important crop for dairy farming as forage substrate biogas production. The mycotoxin producing fungi can spoil feed, reduce cattle productivity cause health problems. aim of this research was to study the mycoflora maize grains in order clarify fungal composition verify presence potential fungi. grain samples were collected from different hybrid performance trial Research Study farm “Vecauce” Latvia University Agriculture 2014. 14 genera isolated surface...
Abstract Pyrenophora tritici-repentis ( Ptr ), family Pleosporaceae, is a common wheat pathogen in all wheat-growing regions around the globe. It widely studied North America, South and Africa, while data about fungus genetic diversity Europe still insufficient. This study aimed to describe variation of morphological traits toxin production strains collected Latvia Belarus. Twenty-one isolates from Latvia, 12 Belarus were sampled 2019 for evaluation culture necrotrophic effector gene...
Wheat stem base disease (WSD) is an important complex which can be caused by various pathogens with variable life cycles, ecological requirements and sensitivities to fungicides. Agronomic practices are considered tools control this influence the spectrum of fungal communities in infected wheat stems. The aim present study was determine impact crop rotation schemes soil tillage methods on development WSD elucidate causal agents disease. assessed a two-factorial (soil practice rotation)...
The fate of biobased and biodegradable cellulose-derived plastics in landfills represents an important topic from economic environmental points view. Anaerobic digestion is a cost-effective waste-to-energy technology. behaviour six polymer types—that is, cellulose (C), acetate (CA), viscose (V), nanocellulose (NC), textile (AT), heteropolysaccharide pectin (P)—was studied under anaerobic batch mesophilic conditions landfill leachate for 147 days. cumulative biogas production was as follows:...
Tan spot caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a severe threat to wheat production in all major wheat-growing regions. Sustainable tan control can be achieved an integrated approach, including responsible management of fungicide sprays. The data about the sensitivity P. various fungicides Baltic Sea region are rare. In this study, we described variation four active ingredients detect formation resistance most commonly used quinone-outside inhibitor (QoI) and 14α-demethylase (DMI)...
Wheat crown rot is a harmful disease that can be caused by different pathogens.The control of this complicated because the diversity pathogens and an insufficient efficacy fungicides; therefore, agronomic practices wheat production are important tool for reducing development.The aim study was to estimate incidence depending on soil tillage system pre-crop in year 2016.The field experiment carried out at Research Study farm 'Peterlauki' Latvia University Agriculture autumn 2008.The data...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) may develop in 4–30% of patients following bacterial gastroenteritis (GE), but limited information is available on outcome viral GE. On summer 2009 a massive community outbreak Norovirus and Enterovirus GE occurred San Felice (Lake Garda, Italy) due to contamination municipal drinking water.1 In order investigate the natural history assess incidence functional gastrointestinal disorders PI-IBS, we carried out prospective...
Abstract Wheat stem base disease is an important complex, caused by various pathogens that are characterized variable life cycles and ecological requirements. bases with symptoms of different diseases were collected in 2012-2018. Causal agents other fungi identified mycological molecular genetic methods. A total 6787 isolates obtained to the genera/species level. Out number isolates, 50% belonged causal diseases, 10% leaf spots, 8% saprotrophs. Fungi from genera Fusarium (51%) Oculimacula...

Over the decades, practical biotechnology researchers have aimed to improve naturally occurring proteins and create novel ones. It is widely recognized that coupling protein sequence randomization with various effect screening methodologies one of most powerful techniques for quickly, efficiently, purposefully acquiring these desired improvements. years, considerable advancements been made in this field. However, developing PCR-based or template-guided has hampered by resultant template...
