3-Deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. cv Superior. The enzyme is a dimer with a native molecular weight of 110,000. The enzyme appears to be hysteretic. The

Rhizosphere engineering with beneficial plant growth promoting bacteria offers great promise for sustainable crop yield. Potato is an important food commodity that needs large inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. To overcome high fertilizer demand (especially nitrogen), five bacteria,

Various Streptomyces spp. including S. violaceus, S. scabies, S. griseus, S. exfoliatus, S. coelicolor and S. lividans secrete indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) when fed with L-tryptophan (Trp). Production of IAA was detected in Streptomyces strains causing potato scab as well as in non-pathogenic strains.

During the spring of 2004 and 2005, angular leaf spot was observed on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in some areas of Kurdistan Province in Iran for the first time. Disease incidence in affected fields was approximately 100%. Symptoms were initially small, round or irregular, water-soaked spots on
