Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic acquired resistance and induced systemic resistance in conventional agriculture

TL;DR: The benefits, drawbacks, and future considerations for the improved use of chemical and biological elicitors of induced resistance in conventional agriculture include the potential to exploit genetic variability within populations of crop species to improve the utility of SAR and ISR in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity, Pathogenicity, and Management of Verticillium Species

TL;DR: This review focuses on Verticillium dahliae, placing emphasis on the controversy surrounding the elevation of a long-spored variant as a new species, recent advances in the analysis of compatible and incompatible interactions, highlighted by the use of strains expressing fluorescent proteins, and the genetic diversity among Verticills spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photocatalysis: effect of light-activated nanoscale formulations of TiO(2) on Xanthomonas perforans and control of bacterial spot of tomato

TL;DR: The use of TiO(2)/Zn at ≈500 to 800 ppm significantly reduced disease incidence in three of the four trials compared with untreated and copper control, and was comparable to or better than the grower standard.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial spot of tomato and pepper: diverse Xanthomonas species with a wide variety of virulence factors posing a worldwide challenge.

TL;DR: The current taxonomic status, distribution of the four species, knowledge of virulence factors, detection methods and strategies for disease control are discussed, with possible directions for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging phytopathogen Macrophomina phaseolina: biology, economic importance and current diagnostic trends

TL;DR: The present review discusses various biological aspects and distribution of M. phaseolina throughout the world and their importance to different plant species.
