Hevea brasiliensis; leaf blight; microbiological risk assessment; plantations; rubber; Africa; Asia; South America
Abstract:
... In the past, South American leaf blight (SALB) of the rubber tree has been responsible for very severe damage in rubber plantations in South America. It is still the main obstacle holding back the development of rubber cultivation on the American continent and is a major risk for Asia and Africa, which are still exempt from this scourge. However, knowledge about the disease and about rubber tree r ...

Abstract:
... Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) causes mop top disease in potato. This disease can result in a decline in tuber quality causing economic losses to growers due to the production of necrotic lesions and discolored tissue in infected tubers. Due to the soilborne nature of PMTV, identifying and developing host resistance against the virus is considered the best disease management option. Very little is kn ...

In a statewide survey of North Carolina, the rapid shift from race 0 to race 1 was documented. Collected pathogen isolates were characterized phenotypically for mating type and mefenoxam sensitivity, and genotypically by compari ...
