of viruses for healthy plant material (Perotto et al.2009; Taşkın et al.2013), by preservation of germplasm of vegetatively propagated plant crops (Rajasekharan and Sahijram2015) and by threatened or endangered plant species rescue (Sarasan et al.2006). The plant in vitro cultures ...
“understanding of the feeding preference, e.g., during the saprophytic phase of either pathogenic or beneficial microbes”.Nevertheless, some organic amendments are known to be effective for disease suppression. For instance glucosinolates from green manures of the Brassicaceae, are precursors of toxic...
decurrens also possesses allelopathic potential and contains allelochemicals, which may contribute to the invasive characteristics of L. decurrens. In fact, root exudates of L. decurrens suppressed the growth of Corchorus olitorius L. and increased its mortality [47]. Unfortunately, C. olitorius is ...
