Abstract: Plant diseases cause losses of approximately 16% globally. Thus, management measures must be implemented to mitigate losses and guarantee food production. In addition to traditional management measures, induced resistance and biological control have gained ground in agriculture due to their enormous potential. Endophytic fungi internally colonize plant tissues and have the potential to act as control agents, such as biological agents or elicitors in the process of induced resistance and in attenuating abiotic stresses. In this review, we list the mode of action of this group of Citation: Fontana, D.C.; de Paula, S.; microorganisms which can act in controlling plant diseases and describe several examples in which Torres, A.G.; de Souza, V.H.M.; endophytes were able to reduce the damage caused by pathogens and adverse conditions.

Traditionally cultivated for fiber, fiber crops have also become sources of other materials such as food, animal feed, cosmetics and medicine. Asia and America are the two main production areas of fiber crops in the world. However, oomycete diseases have become an important factor limiting their yield and quality, causing devastating consequences for the production of fiber crops in many regions. To effectively control oomycete pathogens and reduce their negative impacts on these crops, it is very important to have fast and accurate detection systems, especially in the early stages of infection. With the rapid development of molecular biology, the diagnosis of plant pathogens has progressed from relying on traditional morphological features to the increasing use of molecular methods. The objective of this paper was to review the current status of research on molecular diagnosis of oomycete pathogens on fiber crops.

It needs moist soil conditions and warm temperatures to thrive, and is particularly damaging to susceptible plants (e.g. drought stressed plants in the summer). P. cinnamomi poses a threat to forestry, ornamental and fruit industries, and infects over 900 woody perennial species. Diagnostic techniques are expensive and require expert identification.

Published: 1 December 2020 Abstract: This study evaluated the early activation of plant-defense related genes during a three- way interaction plant-antagonist-pathogen in the model system tomato-Trichoderma-Phytophthora nicotianae. Thirty-day-old tomato seedlings were treated at the root system with a suspension of germinated conidia of two selected strains of T. asperellum and T. atroviride and then inoculated with zoospores of P. nicotianae. The defense mechanisms activated by tomato plants upon the simultaneous colonization of the root system by Trichoderma spp. and P. nicotianae were evaluated 72 h post-inoculation by analysing the transcriptomic profiles of genes involved in the pathways of salicylic acid (i.e., pathogenesis-related proteins - PR1b1 and PR-P2-encoding genes), jasmonic acid (i.e., lipoxygenases enzymes—TomLoxC and TomLoxA-encoding genes) and the tomato plant defensin protein (i.e., SlyDF2-encoding gene).

  • Phytophthora
    PHYTOPHTHORA INTRODUCTION Phytophthora (from Greek (phyton) plant and (phthora) destruction the plant- destroyer) is a genus of plant-damaging oomycetes (water moulds) whose member species are capable of causing enormous economic losses on crops worldwide as well as environmental damage in natural ecosystem. The cell wall of Phytophthora is made up of cellulose. The genus was first described by Heinrich Anton de Bary in 1875. Approximately 170 species have been described although 100–500 undiscovered Phytophthora species are estimated to exist. Phylum: Oomycota Order: Peronosporales Family: Peronosporaceae Genus: Phytophthora PATHOGENICITY Phytophthora spp. is mostly pathogens of dicotyledons, and many are relatively host-specific parasites. Phytophthora cinnamomi, though, infects thousands of species ranging from club mosses, ferns, cycads, conifers, grasses, lilies, to members of many dicotyledonous families. Many species of Phytophthora are plant pathogens of considerable economic importance. Phytophthora infestans was the infective agent of the potato blight that caused the Great Famine of Ireland, and still remains the most destructive pathogen of solanaceous crops, including tomato and potato. The soya bean root and stem rot agent, Phytophthora sojae, has also caused longstanding problems for the agricultural industry. In general, plant diseases caused by this genus are difficult to control chemically, thus the growth of resistant cultivars is the main management strategy. Other important Phytophthora diseases are: Phytophthora

For the CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi management of the disease different botanicals, biocontrol agents and fungicides were evaluated against Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur, the pathogen under in vitro. The fungicides were also evaluated under field conditions during 2017 and Himachal Pradesh, India 2018. Aqueous extract of Melia azedarach @ 20% gave maximum growth inhibition (70.00%) of P. nicotianae var. parasitica under in vitro. Among 8 fungicides evaluated in vitro, iprovalicarb 5.5%+ propineb 61.25% WP (Melody Duo 66.75 WP) at 100 µg/ml gave 100 per cent mycelial growth inhibition. Evaluation of fungicides under field conditions showed that three foliar application at 10 days interval of iprovalicarb 5.5%+ propineb 61.25% WP (@ 0.25%) resulted in maximum (54.72%) disease control with 81.51 per cent increase in yield over check.

On the basis of Phytophthora nicotianae sensitivity to fungicides the 17 isolates were categorized into three sensitivity classes i.e. highly var. parasitica, Buckeye rot, Tomato, Sensitivity, sensitive, moderately sensitive and less sensitive isolates. Out of seventeen isolates, nine isolates Fungicides , Management were highly sensitive (Pn-3, Pn-4, Pn-5, Pn-7, Pn-9, Pn-10, Pn-12, Pn-14 & Pn-17), seven isolates (Pn-1, Pn-2, Pn-6, Pn-8, Pn-11, Pn-15 & Pn-16) were moderately sensitive and one isolate (Pn-13) Article Info was found less sensitive to mancozeb 75WP.
