Foliar diseases constrain the production of healthy rubber tree planting material in humid tropical nurseries. We tested whether preventive and post-symptom fungicide programmes reduced cumulative foliar disease on Hevea brasiliensis clone IRCA 331 during one nursery season at Bo...

Aims: Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is gaining importance in agricultural systems due to the nutritional and medicinal value of its berries. However, its cultivation is increasingly threatened by fungal diseases, primarily caused by Colletotrichum and Fusarium species, resulting...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important plant symbionts, yet the infective potential and field-scale variability of indigenous AMF associated with plantain remain poorly documented in Côte d’Ivoire. We characterised AMF in three major plantain-producing fields (Site 703,...

Aims: The present study aimed to evaluate the cross-pathogenicity of Colletotrichum isolates obtained from different hosts and production zones using substitute hosts. Study Design: The experimental design followed a completely randomized layout with 19 treatments and five replic...

Background: Water deficit is a major constraint on maize growth, while the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can vary with host genotype and experimental context. Aims: This study evaluated biomass stability and supporting physiological responses of B73, EV8728SR, and W438...

Aims and Study Design: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can alter plant responses to salinity, but their effects depend on host genotype and may intersect with oxylipin signaling. We tested whether the maize 9-lipoxygenase gene ZmLOX3 and Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198 wer...

Aims: To determine how maize genotype, Rhizophagus irregularis inoculum, and NaCl affect germination and seedling performance, while distinguishing inoculum effects before root colonisation from responses after mycorrhizal establishment. Study Design: A 2 × 2 × 3 factorial experi...

Background: Water deficit substantially limits maize growth and productivity, while lipoxygenase-derived signalling and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis may influence plant responses to water stress. However, the extent to which maize 9-lipoxygenase mutants differ in biomass and...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve plant performance under drought, but responses depend on host genotype, fungal isolate, symbiosis duration, and stress intensity. We evaluated whether Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198 mitigated short-term water deficit in the Ivor...
