Bakanae disease, or “foolish seedling”, is a seed-borne disease of rice (Oryza sativa L.).
Infected plants can yield empty panicles or perish, resulting in a loss of grain yield. The …

The use of nanotechnology to suppress crop diseases is gaining increasing interest in
agriculture. Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) were synthesized at 1: 1 and 1: 4 ratios …

Light plays a crucial role in the growth and development of fungi. Fungal photoperception is
controlled by several receptors such as phytochromes, cryptochromes/photolyase, opsins …

Bakanae or foot rot disease caused by Fusarium fujikuroi Nirenberg is an important
emerging disease of rice across the world. It is responsible for high yield losses ranging from …

Bakanae disease, caused by Fusarium fujikuroi, is an economically important seed-borne
disease of rice. F. fujikuroi is horizontally transmitted to rice flowers and vertically transmitted …

To assess the risk of fumonisin contamination in Korean cereals, we isolated colonies of the
Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC) from barley, maize, rice and soybean samples …

Bakanae disease caused by Fusarium fujikuroi causes crop failure and yield losses in the
majority of rice-growing countries. In this study, we employed a joint strategy quantitative trait …

Bakanae disease is an emerging problem for the Basmati rice cultivation in India. Forty-
seven endophytes isolated earlier along with three Talaromyces flavus isolates evaluated …

Plant diseases are one of the major constraints in achieving the potential yield. Rice, the
most important food crop in the world, is attacked by a number of fungal, bacterial and viral …

Fungi possess diverse photosensory proteins that allow them to perceive different light
wavelengths and to adapt to changing light conditions in their environment. The biological …
