Severity assessment of isolates of defoliating and nondefoliating Verticillium ...
Antón-Domínguez, Begoña I.; López-Moral, Ana; Lovera, María; Arquero, Octavio; Trapero, Antonio; Trapero, Carlos; Agustí-Brisach, CarlosVerticillium wilt, caused by the soilborne fungus Verticillium dahliae Kleb. is a major vascular disease affecting a wide range of woody and herbaceous hosts worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess the pathogenicity of defoliating (D) and nondefoliating (ND) V. dahliae pathotypes-isolated from pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) and olive (Olea europaea L.)-on two commonly used Pistacia rootstocks in the Medite...
Development of a new method for characterizing olive cultivar resistance to Ver...
Antón-Domínguez, Begoña I.; Valverde, Pedro; Agustí-Brisach, Carlos; Trapero, CarlosVerticillium wilt of olive (Olea europaea L.), caused by the soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is one of the most important diseases affecting this crop. Using resistant cultivars is among the most effective control measures. Various inoculation methods have been used to assess olive cultivars resistance to Verticillium wilt under controlled conditions, but significant discrepancies often arise when...
Carob and pomegranate extracts enhance plant defence mechanisms against olive a...
Antón-Domínguez, Begoña I.; Sánchez-Pereira, Luiza; Lamas, Sandra; Rodrigues, Nuno; Baptista, Paula; Agustí-Brisach, CarlosOlive anthracnose (OA), caused by Colletotrichum species, is one of the most economically damaging disease in olive sector. This study was focused to identify sustainable control alternatives by evaluating the effect of pomegranate and carob extracts against OA and elucidating their mode of action. In vitro assays on mycelial growth, conidial production, and germination, and appressoria formation of C. godetiae...
