| evaluation of anti-phytoplasma properties of surfactin and tetracycline towards lime witches' broom disease using real-time pcr. | the anti-phytoplasma activities of surfactin (derived from iranian native bacillus subtilis isolates) and tetracycline towards candidatus "phytoplasma aurantifolia", the agent of lime witches' broom disease, were investigated. hplc was used to quantify the surfactin production in four previously characterized native surfactin-producing strains, and the one producing the highest amount of surfactin (about 1,500 mg/l) was selected and cultivated following optimized production and extraction protoc ... | 2011 | 21301196 |
| toward immunomodulation of witches broom disease of lime (wbdl) by targeting immunodominant membrane protein (imp) of candidatus phytoplasma aurantifolia. | the witches' broom disease of lime (wbdl) caused by candidatus phytoplasma aurantifolia is the most devastating disease of acidian lime in southern part of iran as it destroy thousands of trees yearly throughout these regions. traditional methods such as eradication of infected trees and insect vector control have shown limited effect on this case. therefore, alternative approaches such as plantibody-mediated resistance, have been considered. throughout present study we prepared sufficient amoun ... | 2010 | 21534492 |
