Tracheomycosis (or Coffee Wilt Disease) is a vascular disease that causes damage in plantations up to 80% of production in the absence of treatment. The fungus of the disease is Fusarium xylarioides. An experiment in micro-plots was put in place to look for 9 strains of this spec...
Verticillium dahliae Kleb. the causal agent of vascular wilt is an important pathogen of olive trees in growing areas of the world. To evaluate the reaction of the susceptibility of different commercial olive cultivars to the pathogen, six months old of eight commercial olive cul...
The effect of planting date and boll position on cell wall thickening of cotton fiber and development of fiber strength were studied by comparing the time course of the activity of key enzymes β-1,3-glucan synthase (callose) and sucrose synthase (SuSy) involved in cellulose biosy...
