| identification of an antifungal chitinase from a potential biocontrol agent, bacillus cereus 28-9. | bacillus cereus 28-9 is a chitinolytic bacterium isolated from lily plant in taiwan. this bacterium exhibited biocontrol potential on botrytis leaf blight of lily as demonstrated by a detached leaf assay and dual culture assay. at least two chitinases (chicw and chich) were excreted by b. cereus 28-9. the chicw-encoding gene was cloned and moderately expressed in escherichia coli dh5alpha. near homogenous chicw was obtained from the periplasmic fraction of e. coli cells harboring chicw by a puri ... | 2005 | 15715951 |
| evidence of induced systemic resistance against botrytis elliptica in lily. | lily leaf blight, caused by botrytis elliptica, is an important fungal disease in taiwan. in order to identify an effective, nonfungicide method to decrease disease incidence in lilium formosanum, the efficacy of rhizobacteria eliciting induced systemic resistance (isr) was examined in this study. over 300 rhizobacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of l. formosanum healthy plants and 63 were identified by the analysis of fatty acid profiles. disease suppressive ability of 13 strains was de ... | 2008 | 18943260 |
