Unveiling the molecular basis of Stem-Physical-Strength-Mediated-Resistance (SPSMR) mechanism against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in oilseed brassica: A comparative transcriptome analysis between resistant Sinapis alba and susceptible Brassica juncea Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-11-04 Manjeet Singh, Ram Avtar, Mahavir Bishnoi, Nisha Kumari
This study elucidates the intricate molecular dynamics of the Stem-Physical-Strength-Mediated-Resistance (SPSMR) mechanism against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in oilseed Brassica. This study explores how resistant and susceptible genotypes respond to S. sclerotiorum and their stem physical strength at various infection stages, revealing the molecular basis of SPSMR-mechanism. Statistically significant

Biocontrol potential of Bacillus spp. for resilient and sustainable agricultural systems Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-11-01 Bhairav Prasad, Deepak Sharma, Pankaj Kumar, Ramesh Chandra Dubey
The productivity of any crop is greatly influenced by their health condition. The health of plants depends on various abiotic and biotic factors. Biotic factor such as pathogens cause huge loss of crop yield. Traditionally, chemical-based pesticides are used to control the phytopathogens. Although they are effective and convenient yet they pose serious threat to environment and all form of life. Alternatively

Detection and molecular analysis of shallot latent virus infecting Allium sativum in Zimbabwe Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-31 Charles Karavina, Jacques Davy Ibaba, Augustine Gubba
The prevalence of phytoviruses threatens food security worldwide. A number of factors can contribute to phytoviruses remaining unidentified, including lack of resources and ignorance of their existence. This study aimed to identify and understand the molecular characteristics and phylogeny of shallot latent virus infecting garlic (Allium sativum) in Zimbabwe. Leaf samples, collected from garlic farms

The role of oxidative burst, antioxidant genes and enzymes in association with callose in tomato reaction to various taxonomic groups of Rhizoctonia spp. Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-31 Fatemeh Hosseini-Zahani, Parissa Taheri
Various fungi are significant threats to vegetable yield via causing destructive diseases. Rhizoctonia solani is a soilborne fungal pathogen affecting tomato with considerable damage in crop production, worldwide. Understanding plant defense mechanisms against different Rhizoctonia spp. isolates can be useful in designing novel and effective disease control approaches. Therefore, we performed cellular

Expression of defense responsive genes in tripartite interaction of cucumber mosaic virus and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb) Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-31 G. Karthikeyan, G. Barkavi, S. Harish, S. Varanavasiappan
The mosaic caused by cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) on ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb) is an important disease. An attempt was made to use a consortium of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria to manage the disease with an aim to reduce the usage of pesticide to control its vector. Eleven isolates of Bacillus spp. were selected based on their plant gowth promotion ability on ridge gourd cv. COH1

Induction of defense-related enzymes and enhanced disease resistance in rice against Sarocladium oryzae by Bacillus cereus RBS-57 Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-25 Shraddha Bhaskar Sawant, S.R. Prabhukarthikeyan, Mihira Kumara Mishra, C. Parameswaran, U. Keerthana, Akshya Kumar Senapati
Bacillus species have been identified as effective bioagents and plant growth boosters in rice. Currently, there is limited research on the effectiveness of Bacillus strains in managing the sheath rot disease of rice caused by Sarocladium oryzae, a significant threat to rice-cultivating areas in India. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Bacillus spp. to control the sheath rot disease

Lettuce tolerance to verticillium wilt after inoculation with Penicillium pinophilum and Rhizophagus intraradices Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-27 Sarah Remi Ibiang, Toshiyuki Usami, Kazunori Sakamoto, Young Bassey Ibiang
The ability to mitigate verticillium wilt is an important attribute of a biocontrol agent in terms of its global market potential. This study evaluated the protective effect of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus and an endophytic fungus (Penicillium pinophilum) inoculation against verticillium wilt in lettuce host. The seedlings in four treatment groups (control, AM, Penicillium, AM + Penicillium)

Genome-wide investigation and analysis of C2H2 Zinc Finger Protein gene family in apple: Expression profiles during Penicillium expansum infection process Physiol. Mol. Plant Pathol. (IF 2.7) Pub Date : 2023-10-25 Yuchun Lu, Kaili Wang, Yingying Su, Solairaj Dhanasekaran, Qiya Yang, Hongyin Zhang
The gene family known as C2H2 zinc finger genes is widely recognized for its significant role in facilitating plant growth, development and reproduction. Many C2H2 zinc finger proteins (C2H2-ZFPs) have been identified and intensively studied in other plants, but little is known about their function in apples. In this study, the C2H2-ZFPs genes of apples were identified and analyzed by whole genome
