Following isolation and identification of Phytophthora isolates, the predominant species was found to be P. drechsleri and used for further investigation. For studying saprophytic survival of the fungus, soils collected from different areas were combined and autoclaved. Sterile soil was divided into 10 parts and mixed with fungal inoculum at various concentrations of 0-9% (w/w) separately. Each soil part (100g) was placed in 15cm diameter plastic pot. Some soils in pots were supplemented with sterile wheat straw whereas others were mixed with pistachio leaves surface sterilized with 5% (v/v) sodium hypochlorite. After 3, 6 and 9 weeks of incubation, five leaves or straws samples were taken from each replicate and cultured on CMA-PARPH medium and the fungal colony formation was monitored. The experiment was performed using completely randomized design with factorial experimen...

In order to obtain Gladiolus calli, corm segments (Aprox. 5 x 5 x 1 mm in size) were kept in modified MS medium (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) that was supplemented with 1 mg L(-1) 2, 4-D, 3% sucrose and 0.7% agar. The results showed that increasing the concentration of BAP from 0 to 2 mg L(-1) medium simulated plantlet regeneration but no significantly effect was obtained on shoot and cormel organogenesis between 2 and 4 mg L(-1) BAP concentration in medium. Increasing of NAA content in media without BAP developed rootlet significantly. Interaction results showed that increasing BAP content against decreasing of NAA concen...

Serological tests of DAS-ELISA and DIBA were performed on samples using antisera of sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV), sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV) and johnsongrasss mosaic virus (JGMV). In both tests performed on leaf samples extractions, all samples reacted strongly with SCMV antiserum and no reaction was seen with other 3 potyviruses antisera. 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH = 7) containing 2% polyvinyl pyrrolidon (PVP) was used for mechanical inoculation and all isolates were inoculated and propagated on sweet corn cv. Pars 403 and grain sorghum cv. Kimia. In serological tests on the inoculated plants samples also only SCMV was detected. Purification of virus was done us...

Twenty randomly selected kernels and glumes from each sample were surface sterilized and were planted on synthesized nutrient agar medium (SNA), potato dextrose agar (PDA) and Nash-Snyder medium (NA) plates. Culture plates were incubated at 22 to 25 C with a 12-h photoperiod provided by fluorescent and ultra violet lights. For the species identification, cultures were incubated for 5 to 15 days on PDA plates to induce sporulation under light and temperature previously described. Single conidial isolates were obtained by spreading a conidial suspension across a water agar culture plate and transferring a single germinated conidium to a new PDA culture plates. Single spore cultures...

Essential oils from different species of the Cymbopogon are used in the perfumery, cosmetic and soap industries and some of them have antifungal and insecticide activity. In this study, antifungal activity of C. parkeri essential oil on the growth of Rhizoctonia solani, Pyricularia orizea and Fusarium oxysporum, three important phytopathogenic fungi, was investigated. The essential oil was extracted from the air-dried parts in flowering stage by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger type apparatus, and Growth inhibition of Rhizoctonia solani, Pyricularia orizea, Fusarium oxysporum for 15, 30, 75,150, 300 and 600 microl L(-1) dosage of the essential oil in PDA was examined in vitro by media mixed method and was compared with control. Antifungal activity was determined in terms of growth inhibitory concentration for 50% growth inhibitory (EC50 microI L(-1)) and ...
