Sunflower is a known host for over three dozen pathogenic organisms. This chapter covers
both the well‐documented pathogens as well as some that are presently either minor or …

Genetic variation is commonly found in tissue cultures. Plant tissues and cells cultured in
vitra do mutate with a certain frequency. These mutations, however, are not always …

Bioassays using cell cultures and callus tissues of leafy spurge were devised to evaluate the
potential of rhizobacteria as biocontrol agents. Rhizobacteria isolated from roots of leafy …

A host-pathogen interaction system was used to test the hypothesis that oxalic acid is the
sole pathogenic determinant in the exudate of Sclerotinia trifoliorum. The system allowed …

Protocols for ogranogenic regeneration of cotton and kenaf are provided, which makes the
in vitro regeneration of mature fertile plants in a reduced amount of time possible. Seedlings …

An in vitro system was developed to induce and identify Xylella fastidiosa proteins that were
differentially expressed in the presence of callus-derived extracts from its host, the citrus …

An optimized adventitious shoot regeneration protocol for Hibiscus cannabinus L. was
developed. Ten kenaf cultivars were regenerable utilizing leaf explants on three media (two …

Two creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L. var. palustris Farwell.) germplasms, MSRS-
328 (Reg. no. GP-80, PI 618723) and MSRS-330 (Reg. no. GP-81, PI 618724), were …

Over the past decade there has been increased environmental awareness of fungicide use
on golf courses. A need has been identified within alternative pest management programs …

An in vitro system was developed to induce and identify Xylella fastidiosa proteins that were
