We identified sources of Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) resistance in rice cultivars. Eight cultivars together with susceptible and resistant controls were evaluated under screenhouse conditions as inoculated and uninoculated treatment in completely randomised design with three replications. Seedlings were inoculated with the virus by sap transmission at two weeks after sowing. Disease incidence and severity (scale 1-9: 1-3 = green leaves with sparse dots or streaks, 9 = yellow or orange leaves and some plant dead), yield, and agronomic traits were recorded. Data analyses included Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC), independent...
Forecasting system for infection risk of phoma stem canker in selected regions of the Czech Republic in 2009-2011Original Paper

In the period 2009-2011 monitoring of the incidence of phoma stem canker was carried out at selected sites of the Czech Republic (Šumperk and Opava regions in North Moravia). The risk of infection was evaluated by assessing the autumn release of Leptosphaeria spp. ascospores and with the proPlant prediction model. In recent years, the incidence of phoma stem canker has been relatively low and this corresponded with the total count of ascospores released in the autumn period but not with an increased level of infection risk announced by the proPlant model. During the monitored period the ascospore concentration reached maximally 2 ascospores/1...

This is the first report of Puccinia oxalidis causing leaf spot diseases on ornamental Oxalis triangularis subsp. papilionaceae cv. Atropurpurea in Moravia, Czech Republic. The macroscopic symptoms and microscopic features are described.
Evaluation of antifungal activity of sodium salts against onion basal rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepaeOriginal Paper

Plant Protect. Sci., 2014, 50(1):19-25 | DOI: 10.17221/9/2013-PPS
The efficacy of twelve sodium salts as possible alternatives to synthetic fungicides for the control of onion basal rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cepae was evaluated. In vitro tests showed that there were significant differences between the inhibitory effects of sodium salts on the mycelial growth (P ≤ 0.05) and 2% (w/v) concentrations of sodium metabisulfite and sodium fluoride completely inhibited mycelial growth of the fungus, while other salts did not. Sodium metabisulfite and sodium phosphate monobasic had lower pH values than the other salts. Unlike sodium metabisulfite, sodium phosphate monobasic...
Genetic variation of Chilo suppressalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) populations in Guilan and west of Mazandaran provinces analysed with RAPD markersOriginal Paper

Genetic variation of striped stem borer Chilo suppressalis populations in Guilan and Mazandaran provinces in Iran was studied in 2010 by means of RAPD markers. Collected 45 samples from 19 locations (representing 17 counties in Guilan province and 2 counties in Mazandaran province) were classified into four groups of populations: three population groups corresponding to the west, centre, and east of Guilan and one population group from the west of Mazandaran. RAPD PCR analysis showed that Chilo suppressalis populations in Mazandaran are genetically different from the Guilan populations while the western populations of Guilan are genetically...

Effect of exogenous salicylic acid on some physiological parameters and alleviation of drought stress in Nigella sativa plant under hydroponic cultureOriginal Paper
Rozita KABIRI, Fatemeh NASIBI, Hassan FARAHBAKHSH
Plant Protect. Sci., 2014, 50(1):43-51 | DOI: 10.17221/56/2012-PPS
To study the effect of salicylic acid on photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoids), polyphenol compounds, anthocyanin, flavonoids, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity, malondialdehyde, lipoxygenase activity, electrolyte leakage, relative water content, soluble sugar contents, and protein content of black cumin (Nigella sativa) under drought stress in hydroponic culture, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomised design in a factorial arrangement with three replicates. Experimental treatments included salicylic acid at three levels (0, 5, and 10µM) and drought stress...
