Physiological race characterisation of Fusarium oxysporum strains infecting tomato employing candidate pathogenicity genes and host resistance.

Physiological races of 14 strains of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici were established by PCR profiling SIX gene expressions.

Characterization of Spp. Inciting Vascular Wilt of Tomato and Its Management by a -Based Biocontrol Consortium.

Though the vascular wilt of tomato caused by the species of is globally reported to be a complex disease in certain countries, for example, India, our studies indicated that the disease is caused by either f. spp. (Fol) or (FS) with the Fol being widely prevalent.

Improved host-plant resistance to Phytophthora rot and powdery mildew in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.).

Soybean is an important oilseed cum vegetable crop, susceptible to various biotic stresses which is attributed to recent decline in crop productivity. The emergence of virulent biotypes/strains of different plant pathogens necessitates the development of new crop varieties with enhanced host resistance mechanisms. Pyramiding of multiple disease-resistant genes is one of the strategies employed to develop durable disease-resistant cultivars to the prevailing and emerging biotypes of pathogens.
