The degree of genetic diversity of 127 Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolates from Stylosanthes guianensis genotypes in South America was measured at the molecular level by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with nine arbitrary primers of 10 bases, and by restriction fragment length polymor...

Genetic diversity in South American Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolates from Stylosanthes guianensis, a tropical forage legume
Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is the most important and widespread disease of Stylosanthes, a diverse tropical and subtropical forage legume naturally distributed in central and South America. This paper compares the genetic and pathogenic diversity of 45 isolates, which ...

The enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi causes soft-rot diseases involving extensive tissue maceration in a wide variety of plants and secretes multiple pectic enzymes that degrade plant cell walls and middle lamellae. An E. chrysanthemi mutant with directed deletions or insertions in genes pehX...

Risk of serious anthracnose damage to stylo cultivars
This study developed a fast and reliable method of inoculating Brachiaria, a genus of tropical forage grasses, with Rhizoctonia solani, the causal agent of foliar blight disease. Using this method, 42 Brachiaria accessions were inoculated in both field and glasshouse, and their reactions to R. so...

Stylosanthes guianensis is a diverse tropical and subtropical forage legume of great potential. Foliar blight disease, caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-1, can be a significant constraint to the legume’s production in some areas. The pathogen has a broad range of host plant species, and can survive...

The intense debate over agricultural biotechnology is at once fascinating, confusing and disappointing. It is complicated by issues of ethical, moral, socio-economic, political, philosophical and scientific import. Its vocal champions exaggerate their claims of biotechnology as saviour of the poo...
