Abstract:

Stony corals (Order Scleractinia) are susceptible to a variety of diseases, which can occur from abiotic or biotic factors, or a combination of both. Public aquaria provide opportunities to study coral disease. Because coral mucus is the first line of defense against disease, the Biolog EcoplateTM is a useful tool to detect differences in microbial assemblages in the surface mucopolysaccharide (mucus) layer when comparing healthy and diseased corals. Histological examination is essential to document structural changes in coral tissue in response to diseases. This study identifies and character

Dissertation (PhD (Agric))--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fungi belonging to the genus Botryosphaeria are heterotrophic micromycetes that can be pathogens on woody plants. They cause serious, and in some cases devastating losses to crops through leaf necrosis, stem cankers and plant death. The Proteaceae cut-flower industry in South Africa accounts for 70% of the national cut-flower enterprise. Botryosphaeria diseases are a major impediment to production and trade of Proteaceae and there is an urgent need to investigate the etiology, epidemiology and control of t

A new disease affecting potatoes was first detected in Mexico in 1993.

The disease has been found in many potato production areas in Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, New Zealand and the United States. The disease, termed Zebra Chip (ZC), has been associated with the presence of heavy infestations of the potato-tomato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli). In 2009, a research grou

Abstract:

False codling moth is a known pest of economic importance to many cultivated crops in South Africa and Africa south of the Sahara, and is particularly severe on citrus. If the fruit is infested just before harvest the chances of detecting signs of infestation are very low. As a result, the risk of packaging infested fruit and exporting them as healthy fruit is high. It is therefore a priority to develop a post-harvest technique for detection of False codling moth in citrus fruit at different levels of infestation in order to reduce phytosanitary risk.

Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Plants are constantly exposed to biotic and abiotic stress inducing factors that threaten their existence. Biotic factors such as pathogens are the cause of huge yield losses to crop plants worldwide with fungal pathogens debatably constituting the worst damage. Fungal pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea, which has a wide host range, release cell wall degrading enzymes called endopolygalacturonases (ePGs) during plant infection. These ePGs break down the pectin component of the cell wall, thus providing an entry route, as

Abstract:

Twenty sample plots located in Inonotus tomentosus (Fr.) Teng centers in mixed lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.) and interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii Engelm.) stands in central British Columbia were studied to investigate the behaviour of, and variation in host species attacked by the pathogen. The effect of infection on the radial increment of spruce and pine was studied by measuring increment bores. Characteristics of the fungus in culture were studied using isolates obtained from each of the study plots. In some cases, the fungus was found to behave d

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 1992.<br>One copy microfiche.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The effects of synthetic pyrethroids on the spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and its natural enemies was investigated. The pyrethroid cyfluthrin, sprayed for the control of fruit weevil Phlyctinus callosus, did not cause mite outbreaks and was not harmful to the predators when sprayed before they appeared on the apple trees. This spray also gave good control of thrips, bollworm (Heliothis armigera) and fruit weevil (P. callosus). A late season spray of deltamethrin against codling moth, cause

Abstract:

The detection by serology of nematode-transmitted polyhedral viruses (nepoviruses) in grapevines is often unreliable. Nepoviruses were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in tissue-cultured and field-grown grapevines. Nepovirus detection in in vitro plants (plantlets) was affected by virus distribution and growth room temperature. The reliability of virus detection in field-grown grapevines was improved when modified grinding buffers were used. Arabis mosaic virus (AMV) was detected by ELISA, for the first time, in in vitro grapevines initiated from field-and screenhouse-gro
