The species diversity of culturable endophytic fungi was studied in the leaves and twigs symptomatic asymptomatic Fraxinus excelsior trees. Endophytic mycobiota dominated by Ascomycota species, with Pleosporales (44.17%) Diaporthales (23.79%) endophytes being most frequently observed tree samples. number isolates richness varied depending on sampling date (May October) tissue location. Of 54 identified based ITS sequences, 14 were classified as dominant. isolated Diaporthe eres, followed...
Summary The occurrence and distribution of Dothistroma needle blight ( DNB ) were studied in 2014–2017 around Slovakia. A total 84 localities, both native planted, investigated, the presence was confirmed 73 them. In all positive locations, symptoms typical observed species using species‐specific primers either from fungal cultures or directly needles. Both species— D. septosporum pini —were identified. occurred together 29 only 42 two locations. host range included 10 pine spruce species....
Aim of the work was to study general characteristics and essential morphological traits pollen grains viz size, shape number, form position apertures in Diospyros kaki L.f., D. virginiana L., lotus L. species interspecies hybrid × kaki. Significant differences were detected among tested interspecific as well between individual genotypes lotus, especially equatorial axis.
Abstract Dothistroma needle blight (DNB) is a disease of pine needles. It causes significant defoliation affected trees; intensive attacks lead to damages the whole stand. The relationship trends in severity and intensity with climatic variables were studied three Austrian plantations (Jahodná, Kálnica, Litava) during 2014–2018. During monitoring period, greatest variability was observed top third crowns, which showed highest correlation variants most important conditions (temperature...
Lophodermium species are well known to be among the dominant endophytic fungi colonizing pine needles. The occurrence of two with different life strategies on Pinus trees across Slovakia was detected by PCR using species-specific primers. In general, commensalistic L. pinastri more frequent than parasitic seditiosum. There were no significant differences observed between urban and natural environments, but environments have colonization less negatively tested colonization. Among most...
Abstract Since 1976, when the first occurrence of chestnut blight caused by Cryphonectria parasitica was observed in locality Duchonka, West Slovakia, disease has spread to 43 new areas. Only areas and sites with a lower number trees are still without disease. In this study we have analysed records on different localities combination topographical characteristics (position, altitude, slope gradient, orientation) climatic data (air temperature, precipitation). The respective site appears not...
Objective: In Ukraine, as well in many other countries of the world, different parts a birch is used food, pharmacology and cosmetology for purpose health improvement. Contrary to this, pollen causes an allergy. The aim this study document morphological differences antioxidant activity grains silver collected from habitats define relationship between them. Materials Methods: For comparative analysis 7 samples have been prepared taking into account collection sites, background radiation...
In recent years, there has been an apparent Europe-wide emerging presence of brown spot needle blight, a disease pine species caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola. this study, we report first well-documented occurrences pathogen in Slovakia, identified molecularly using species-specific primers and based on sequencing ITS region TEF1 gene. Among material collected from 84 locations within country, L. acicola was present 17 samples 13 different locations, mainly distributed urban...
Dothistroma needle blight is one of the most severe diseases pines caused by two closely related species, septosporum and D. pini. The further spread distribution this disease were investigated in Slovakia, new hosts stand types identified at regional level. was recorded a natural higher altitude on Pinus cembra High Tatras P. uncinata records are host reports for Slovakia pathogen. Moreover, pini, as country level armandii species worldwide. Mating all collected samples ITS haplotypes pini...
Мета роботи. Проаналізувати загальний вміст фенольних сполук і компонентного складу летких у насінні нового сорту «Різдвяна зірочка» Nigella damascena L. (чорнушка дамаська); також оцінювали морфометричні показники насіння цього сорту. Матеріали методи. Для аналізу якісного та кількісного вмісту застосовано метод газової хромато-мас-спектрометрії (ГХ/МС). Використано хроматограф Agilent Technologies 6890 з мас-спектрометричним детектором. Кількісний компонентів визначали використанням...
The goal of study was analysis morphological characteristics and organoleptic attributes traditional food products from the pulp regional varieties pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.). For experimental purposes we used a landrace Ukraine (A) 5 landraces Serbia (B, C, D, E F). fruit all were determined by average weight fetuses in range 1025.0 g (F) - 7680.0 (B), stem 3.35 25 668.15 6351.10 placental 90.47 (E) 515.50 seed 44.55 277.80 (B) mass exocarp 124.20 471.70 (B). dry matter content flesh 7.8 to...
Abstract Dothistroma needle blight (DNB) is a severe disease of pines worldwide, caused by two closely related species, septosporum and D. pini . The fungal species are similar not only in their morphological characteristics, but also cause very symptoms hosts, have ecology. aim this study was to compare the virulence natural infection experiments on 2-year-old seedlings DNB susceptible pine Pinus nigra P. mugo , seedling stands for each pathogen species. pathogens presence (symptomatic...
