Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleTransgenic Indian Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Harboring Rice Chitinase Gene (Chi II) Confers Resistance to Two Fungal PathogensM. Ganesan, P. Bhanumathi, K. Ganesh Kumari et al.Problem statement: The present investigation described a simple and reproducible protocol for transgenic cotton regeneration and characterization of chitinase (Chi II) gene expression against two different fungal pathogens in cotton. Approach: Transgenic cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. SVPR2) plants were produced by pCambia-bar-Chi II (13.8 kb) under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter, harbored in the strain LBA 4404 Agrobacterium … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,531 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResistance to Citrus Canker in Key/Mexican Lime Induced by β-Aminobutyric Acid and Green TeaB. Beheshti, G.R. Sharifi-Sirchi, M. Mansouri et al.Citrus bacterial canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), is a destructive disease. So far used chemicals to control this pathogen are either not effective or have harmful effects on the environment. To improve control of this disease, lime (Citrus aurantifolia) plants inoculated with Xcc were treated with β-Aminobutyric Acid (BABA), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), thiamin (vitamin B1), green … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,189 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Pseudomonas sp. Isolated from Rhizosphere of Soybean Plant as Plant Growth Promoter and Biocontrol AgentAris Tri Wahyudi, Rika Indri Astuti, GiyantoAbstract: Problem statement: Pseudomonas spesies are one of the rihizobacterial group that have an important role in plant growth promoter and plant health. To prepare them as inoculants, they must have a range of characters as growth promoter such as Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) producers which can promote the growth of plants and solubilize phosphates. In addition, they must also … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 9,882 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChitinolytic Bacteria Isolated from Chili Rhizosphere: Chitinase Characterization and Its Application as Biocontrol for Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.)Nisa Rachmania Mubarik, Irni Mahagiani, Amaryllis Anindyaputri et al.Problem statement: Chitin, a common constituent of insect exoskeleton, could be hydrolyzed by chitinase. The research was conducted to screen chitinolytic rhizobacteria isolated from rhizosphere of chilli pepper and to determine their chitinase activity in degrading chitin of whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Whitefly is recognized as an important pest on many crops including chilli pepper. Approach: Screening and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 18,538 accessesView PDF Cite
