The wood cockroach Cryptocercus punctulatus nests as family units inside decayed wood, a substrate known for its high microbial load. We tested the hypothesis that defecation within their nests, a common occurrence in this species, reduces the probability of fungal development. Conidia of the
OBJECTIVE
Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) produced by the brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis palustris and white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor grown on wood chip and potato dextrose agar were analyzed by GC-MS.
RESULTS
In total, 110 organic compounds were identified as MVOCs. Among them, only
Three strains of a novel mucoralean fungus were isolated from samples of decayed wood, which were collected from three locations near the city of Chuxiong, Yunnan province, China. These isolates were identified as a novel species through comparison of sequences in the ITS sequence, the D1/D2 domains
In May 2012 in the Coachella valley, Riverside County, California, the decline of vines in table grape (Vitis vinifera) vineyards was observed. Foliar symptoms consisted of shoot blight with wilting and necrosis of leaves and drying and shriveling of berries. In some cases, the entire vine collapsed
In recent years, delayed bud bursting, cane bleaching, shoot dieback, and cankers in 1-year-old canes and perennial arms were observed in vineyards of the Aegean region (western Turkey). These symptoms were frequently observed on the following major table grape (Vitis vinifera) cultivars: 'Alphonse
Up to 20 million tons of waste wood biomass per year is left unused in Finland, mainly in the forests during forestry operations, because supply and demand does not meet. As a consequence of high heat energy prices, the looming threat of climate change, the greenhouse effect, and due to global as
In July 2011, a survey was conducted to evaluate the phytosanitary status of apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca L.) in an orchard in Binissalem (Mallorca Island, Spain). Fungal isolation was performed on a 40-year-old apricot trees (cv. Galta Vermella, double-grafted onto bitter almond and Japanese
Phenylacetic acid (PA), a toxin produced by three strains of bacteria accompanying the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, was found to be formed in a culture of the nematode. An animal nutrient, nutrient broth (NB) medium, was more suitable for PA production of the accompanying bacteria
Pomegranates (Punica granatum L.) are an expanding industry in the United States with California growing approximately 32,000 acres with a crop value of over $155 million (1). During June and July of 2012, we observed severe limb and branch dieback in pomegranate orchards cv. Wonderful located in
The Aegean region (western Turkey) is the center of table, raisin, and wine grape cultivation. During the 2012 growing season, wood canker symptoms were observed in vineyards in Manisa city. Symptoms adjacent to pruning wounds, including shoot dieback and wedge-shaped wood discolorations observed in
This study examined the responses of two termite species, the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), to three types of wood decay fungi: a brown rot fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum (Persoon: Fries) Murrill;
Some species of the Trichoderma genus are reported as the major problem in oak wood mushroom production in Korea. In spite of economic loss by the fungi, scientific information on airborne Trichoderma species is not much available. To generate information for disease management
The length of time Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) remained infective in extracted tomato leaf sap on common surfaces and the effectiveness of disinfectants against it were investigated. When sap from PSTVd-infected tomato leaves was applied to eight common surfaces (cotton, wood, rubber tire,
In glasshouse experiments, two isolates of Potato virus Y 'O' strain (PVYO) were transmitted from infected to healthy potato plants by direct contact when leaves were rubbed against each other, when cut surfaces of infected tubers were rubbed onto leaves, and to a limited extent, when
Interception traps have been used to monitor and sample Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), populations in flight, but the efficiency of these traps was unknown. The efficiency of interception window traps is limited because flying adults avoid the traps and may bounce off the
