Creator:: Buangsuwon, Pairoj
Abstract:: Phages of crown gall bacteria were among the first to be isolated and certain properties of these phages have been studied by a number of investigators. However, several important characteristics have not been studied in detail. The present investigation was made in order to determine the major sources of phages...

Abstract:: Rhodococcus fascians is a Gram-positive, pleiomorphic actinomycete that causes leafy gall formation in a wide range of plant hosts. This particular phytopathogen has been a focus of research at the Oregon State University Plant Clinic, a diagnostic laboratory. Phylogeny of R. fascians isolates obtained from Plant Clinic submissions was determined...

Creator:: Creason, Allison L.
Abstract:: Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...

Creator:: Bertoni, Gregory
Abstract:: The in planta growth of three wild type strains of phytopathogenic bacteria and three nonpathogenic mutant strains was studied to determine if mutations eliminating the ability of the mutant strains to cause disease had affected their growth in leaf tissue. The mutant strains were obtained by Tn5 mutagenesis of Pseudomonas...

Creator:: Fernando, W. Gerard Dilantha
Abstract:: Phytophthora vignae, causal agent of stem and root rot of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), was reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The pathogen was found in cowpea field soils from 3 of 5 geographic regions sampled. Only one site however, had plants exhibiting disease symptoms. Of the eight cowpea...

Abstract:: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth largest food crop in the world following rice (Oryza sativa L.), wheat (Triticum spp.), and maize (Zea mays subs. mays). Potatoes arrived in the United States in the early 1600s and over the following centuries, the crop was subsequently cultivated across the country...
