Eight strains of Ceratocystis ulmi originating from different locations and host species were found to be highly sensitive to the antibiotic myxin in in vitro tests. By paper disc assay, amounts as low as 0.5–1.0 μg caused strong inhibition of the fungus on solid media. The minimum inhibitory concentration in liquid culture was 0.2 μg/ml and levels of antibiotic above this concentration proved to be fungicidal.

Abstract. Powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera xanthii and Golovinomyces cichoracearum, is an economically important disease in melon worldwide. Genetic resistance is one of the most suitable strategies to control powdery mildew. During the last few years several races of the pathogens have been reported. The need to develop resistant varieties is a challenge for each breeding program. Leaf disc assay was used in phytopathology and breeding programs as a rapid and reliable method for evaluation of disease resistance in a large number of plant materials. The purpose of this study was to establish species and races of powdery mildew in Plovdiv region, South Central Bulgaria; to develop a suitable system of pathogen isolation and cultivation; to determine the resistance levels in different melon genotypes available in Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute (MVCRI) - Plovdiv collection by the leaf disc assay. Fifty-three melon genotypes, including lines, varieties, hybrids and ten differential lines were tested. The data showed that causal agent of powdery mildew was race 1 of P. xanthii in Plovdiv region. Our experimental results indicated that for the long-term storage of powdery mildew it is preferable to keep a whole plant under in vitro conditions. This allows the preservation of powdery mildew for two months before transferring on a new tissue. Thirty-four of the tested melon genotypes reacted as immune or resistant and nineteen as susceptible. Resistant melon genotypes are a suitable source in initiating a new breeding program aimed to increase resistance to powdery mildew.

AbstractFresh-cut roses (Rosa hybrida) are one of the most important ornamental crops worldwide, with annual trade in the billions of dollars. Gray mold disease caused by the pathogen Botrytis cinerea is the most serious fungal threat to cut roses, causing extensive postharvest losses. In this study, we optimized a detached petal disc assay (DPDA) for artificial B. cinerea inoculation and quantification of disease symptoms in rose petals. Furthermore, as the identification of rose genes involved in B. cinerea resistance could provide useful genetic and genomic resources, we devised a virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) procedure for the functional analysis of B. cinerea resistance genes in rose petals. We used RhPR10.1 as a reporter of silencing efficiency and found that the rose cultivar ‘Samantha’ showed the greatest decrease in RhPR10.1 expression among the cultivars tested. To determine whether jasmonic acid and ethylene are required for B. cinerea resistance in rose petals, we used VIGS to silence the expression of RhLOX5 and RhEIN3 (encoding a jasmonic acid biosynthesis pathway protein and an ethylene regulatory protein, respectively) and found that petal susceptibility to B. cinerea was affected. Finally, a VIGS screen of B. cinerea-induced rose transcription factors demonstrated the potential benefits of this method for the high-throughput identification of gene function in B. cinerea resistance. Collectively, our data show that the combination of the DPDA and VIGS is a reliable and high-throughput method for studying B. cinerea resistance in rose.

Inhibitory substance (antibiotic) test results from State Split Milk Samples were used to estimate precision parameters and to compare antibiotic medium 4 (A4) and PM indicator (PM) agars. Five inhibitory substances (ampicillin, cephapirin, erythromycin, neomycin, and penicillin-G) were tested. Repeatability relative standard deviations (RSDr) ranged from 1.0 to 4.8%, and the reproducibility relative standard deviations (RSDR) ranged from 4.8 to 10.4%. Zone sizes of erythromycin, neomycin, and penicillin-G were significantly larger on PM agar (α = 0.05) than on A4 agar. The reverse was observed for cephapirin. No difference between agars was noted for ampicillin.

Abstract A paper disc method is described for determination of residual cephalexin (CEX) in chick tissues. A trichloroacetic acid extract of plasma and tissues is chromatographed on a macroreticular resin (Diaion HP-20) column to remove endogenous antibacterial substances interfering with the assay. The eluate is evaporated to dryness and the residue, dissolved in methanol-water (1 + 2), is subjected to a paper disc assay using Bacillus stearothermophilus var. calidolactis C953 NIZO as a test organism. The detection limit was 0.0375 ppm in tissue; the average recovery of CEX ranged from 72.4% in skin to 90.4% in plasma. Water containing 200 or 500 mg/L of CEX was given ad libitum to 2-week-old chicks for 10 days; the highest levels of CEX were found in the kidney, and the lowest were found in muscle at 0 h of withdrawal. CEX disappeared from most tissues at 24 h after withdrawal except from skin of chicks given 500 mg/ L. However, the drug was not detected in the skin at 48 h after withdrawal.
