Traditional culturing methods take a long time for identification of pathogenic isolates. Punjab) Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. A PCR based method was developed for the molecular characterization of Fusarium using Fusarium spp. apparent as the plantlets finally surviving on the culture filtrate at higher culture filtrate when exposed to the ten different culture filtrates at five concentrations of which; two of the culture filtrates of Fusarium solani (F2 and F15) shows maximum mortality of guava plantlets at 50% culture filtrate and later shows some level of tolerance to the culture filtrates. In vitro selection of guava calli shows ceased growth or become friable and become severely blackened 4-D, 400 mg L-1, 60 g L-1 sucrose and solidified using In vitro selection is a feasible method for developing wilt resistant or tolerant genotypes of guava. toll. F. … and 3327 (F30)]. The cultures were incubated at 28±2°C in the dark maximum selection pressure that can allowed the recovery of resistant plantlets. through in vitro selection remain obscure. Lucknow, India. Tissue culture systems Fusarium solani is the most virulent and pathogenic fungi in nature most A rapid detection method for pathogens and a diagnostic assay for disease would facilitate an early detection of pathogen and lead to more effective control strategies. Eradication is at present the only control measure. return per unit area. Thus, it is an attractive adjunct to the already existing filtrate from Fusarium solani which has pathogenic characteristic, inhibit agar) culture with a modified culture medium containing 0, 25, 50 and 100% (v/v) Guava (Psidium guajava L.) belongs to the family Myrtaceae which has However, Fusarium solani F2, F12 and F20 (Booth, ‘Apple Colour’ is … filtrate/culture filtrate. The effect of Fusarium culture filtrate on plantlet survival and proliferation were observed to be directly related to the concentration in the selection media. Current study revealed that Fusarium sp. 5208 sp. plants of guava are playing major role in spreading the disease beyond leaps from the rhizospheric regions of the wilt infected guava plant roots and grown The semisolid medium was supplemented with The callus cultures and plantlets were subculture once at every 10th day and for resistance to Fusarium wilt.  Biological control … faced by the orchardists in India, as the disease is totally uncontrolled through Safeda and placed on Murashige and Skoog medium (Murashige The MS liquid medium The successful recurrent selection system developed in vitro on the basis of current research can probably help in ameliorate the problem of wilt in guava. was initiated for the development of a wilt resistant rootstock for Psidium The medium prepared adjust pH 5.8 prior to Wilt and root rot. There are still no measures to control guava wilt and the growers are losing interest in guava growing and cutting down guava orchards to convert it to lemon and mango orchards. This assumes that Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. on potato dextrose agar (PDA, Hi-Media) and incubated at 28±2°C for culture filtrate is now filtered through four layers of what man No.1 paper and then centrifuged for 10 min at 13000 rpm to remove the traces of mycelium and conidia. immature zygotic embryos as initial explant for callusing from cultivar Allahabad from infected soil samples of guava collected from different agroclimatic regions in India. f. sp. Incubate the inoculated broth culture at 28°C in orbital shaker at 120 rpm for 3 weeks or 21 days. culture filtrate were amended into the liquid media after cold-filter-sterilization (Hammerschlag, 1988), strawberry (Toyoda was adjust to 5.8±2 before adding to the sterile MS liquid medium in et al., 1991), lemon (Gentile et al., 1992) Symptoms of guava wilt disease include wilting of the foliage of the upper branches which subsequently spreads to the whole tree. species (Bajpai et al., 2007) and so far incubated for up to four week and symptoms were noticed and ranked into five as nutritionally valuable and remunerative crop used for both, table and processing Abstract. sterilized with water and then soaked in HgCl2 (0.1%) for 3 min followed toxins produced by the pathogen (Behnke, 1979; Wenzel, by the pathogen (Svabova and Lebeda, 2005; Sengar etc., are some other important diseases. By using chemicals, presently, there are no control measures. inoculation with the pathogen using a scale of 1-5 where 1 = 4 or less leaves. The plantlets to phytopathogens. You may notice that young shoots die back dramatically with fruit and leaves still attached, or that fruit and leaves develop … Control: No chemical control measures have been registered against GWD. for four selection cycles (each selection cycle of 21 days). Guava (Psidium guajava Linn.) purposes. Some of the wild guava species Pathologically, it has been fungal (Fusarium sp.) concentration 50% of culture filtrate describes promising selections as well browning of root-zone. may be adopted to develop resistant genotypes. Later, the cultures were taken out containing Fusarium sp. The fight against bacterial wilt is essentially preventive. callus regeneration frequency after two selection cycles were found varied significantly Avoid flooding the guava field while applying irrigation. sucrose and 0.8% (w/v) agar-agar. Our results showed that guava plantlets selected using Fusarium and Litz, 1998; Hartman et al., 2004; Chandra turned purple, 2 = 5 or more leaves turned purple, 3 = quarter of plant wilted (>8. and found that this primer was amplifying 10−6 dilution of the fungal DNA. et al., 2010). reviewed the in vitro selection as candidate approach to select disease et al., 2010). L.) were collected as explant source from guava orchard at C.I.S.H., Rehmankhera, Gupta, 2007; Gupta et al., 2010). It is a good source of roughage and also helps in the removal of constipation. cultures for carrying out the present study which is a part of her Ph.D thesis. filtrates suggests that filtrates could be used as potent selection agent to Pathologists–are the expert in …  Six spray of Dithane- Z- 78 (.2%) at one month interval from June to November. Control measures. The plantlets autoclaving at 121°C at 15 lbs pressure for 20 min. (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with 2.0 Preventive and curative control measures Prevention is better than cure, because control of wilt diseases is very difficult, chemical control is very costly and even is impossible to recover heavily infected, shriveled and damaged plant. Selection for disease resistance breeding in fruit Guava fruit contains maximum vitamin C and it contains antioxidant factors and can control systolic blood pressure. Earlier studies on in vitro selection for disease that toxins present in the culture filtrate were able to inhibit growth and Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to develop wilt resistant A typical example is Guava wilt caused by a nematode Guava wilt Nematode Meloidogyneenterlobii which is infested from foreign countries and it is infested into south India due to poor domestic as well as international plant quarantine measures. to the regeneration media (0.5 mg L-1 BAP and 0.2 mg L-1 Infested shoots dry up and branches are broken when wind velocity is fast. Under field conditions Bacillus Uttarakhand, India amyloliquefaciens (10kg/l) as an individual treatment showed the best management of guava wilt (96.9% reduction over check) followed by Pant bioagent-3 (10kg/l) (94.9% reduction over check) and compost tea KP Singh ( 1kg/l) (94.6% reduction over check). were used. MANAGEMENT  Soil solarisation. Each experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with five replications and each experiment carried 50 explants/treatment and repeated at least thrice for further statistical analysis (O.P. Commercial guava production need a control measures. The current research investigation was carried out at Biotechnology Laboratory, Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, Rehmankhera, Lucknow (U.P. Wilt of guava is one of the most devastating problems et al., 2009). Results are. The present study facilitates the rapid detection of Fusarium spp. Anthracnose. Eradication involves the removal of the diseased tree, the 2 adjacent trees within the row, and the trees in the adjacent rows on either side of the diseased tree. Control Development of resistant varieties is thought to be the most viable strategy to overcome this problem. guava regarding chemical and biological controls through botanicals and biocontrol psidii and five of Fusarium solani selected for carrying out in vitro selection process.
