Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 40(2): 175-181. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-040.2.175181 Fusarium is one of the most important genera of fungi, causing plant, animal, and human diseases and produces mycotoxins. A total of 105 isolates of Fusarium spp. were recovered from crowns and roots of wheat plants, showing typical symptoms, collected from four Syrian provinces during 2017-2018. In previous studies, seventeen Fusarium species associated with crown and root rot (FCR) on wheat were identified in Syria. However, the identity of some isolates has not been resolved. The current study was carried out to identify and characterize through morphological approaches and sequencing a partial translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α) gene in three Fusarium species F. chlamydosporum Wollenweber & Reinking, F. brachygibbosum Padwick and F. flocciferum Corda associated with FCR, isolated and identified for the first time in Syria. The present study will provide detailed cultural and morphological characteristics of the three species, scarcely described in literature. Keywords: First record, morphological descriptions, TEF1-α gene, Syria.

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 40(3): 222-230. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-40.3.222230 A field survey was conducted during March and April 2010, to identify viral diseases affecting cereal and legume crops in different regions of Libya. A total of 3706 barley and wheat samples were collected randomly in addition to 187 symptomatic samples from 22 barley and 20 wheat fields. Moreover, 34 symptomatic legume samples were collected from two faba bean fields and one field each of of lentil, chickpea, Vicia sativa, Vicia ervillia and Vicia narbonesis. All samples were tested at ICARDA Virology Laboratory by tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA) using specific antibodies. Results of random cereal samples showed that Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDVPAV) was more common (12.6%) in wheat and barley samples, followed by Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) (1.1%). In symptomatic samples, BYDV-PAV was also the most common (45 out of 187 samples tested were infected: 45/187), followed by WDV (23/187), Barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV) (40/187) and Maize streak virus (MSV) (7/187). In legume fields, Soybean dwarf virus (SbDV) 13 out of 34 samples tested were infected (13/34) was the most common, followed by Bean leafroll virus (BLRV) (12/34), Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus (CpCSV) (5/34) and Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) (4/34). Serological results were confirmed by amplification with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using specific primers. This is the first report of WDV, MSV and BYSMV on cereal crops, and BLRV, BWYV, SbDV and CpCSV on legume crops in Libya. Keywords: Libya, Cereals, Legumes, Viruses, TBIA, PCR

Agricultural biotechnology contributes in enhancing agricultural productivity, food security, and livelihoods. 25 years passed since the world introduced and embraced biotech crops in 1996. Such improved genetically modified (GM) crop varieties have many useful traits such as insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, in addition to improved nutrion value, and by adopting stringent science- scrutiny and safety measures. In this context, the Biosafety Cartagena Protocol was approved to ensure the safe handling, transfer and use of living organisms that have been modified using modern biotechnology. Socioeconomic and environmental benefits have been documented by credible and independent agencies around the world. Therefore, products derived from agricultural biotechnology, especially those used to manage agricultural pests, have become one of the world fastest growing agricultural trade commodities, providing food, feed, clothing, and eco-friendly biofuels. Not to mention the development of the genome editing technology using CRISPR/Cas9, which is another step closer to developing and cultivating new varieties of agricultural crops through the use of accurate, efficient and affordable techniques for genome editing. On the other hand, researchers have developed rapid and standardized methods for the detection of genetically modified plants and seeds to facilitate testing and monitoring genetic modification taking place at the global level in order to comply with the biosafety regulations and laws.

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 40(2): 188-192. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-040.2.188192 This study illustrates the acute toxic effect of ash released from Durah power plant (DPP) on the biology of the phytoplankton species Chlorococcum humicola in Iraq. The results showed that the median lethal concentration for killing 50% of the Alga population (LC50) was 0.15 and 0.13 ppt (parts per thousand) for 24 and 48 hours exposure to crude ash concentrations, respectively. In contrast, no LC50 value was recorded for 72 and 96 hrs after exposure. The reduction in the optical density absorption value and the growth rate recorded was 0.083±0.121 cells for the highest ash concentration used, compared with 0.594±0.099 cells recorded for the control group. On the other hand, the doubling time for the control group was 1.16±0.652 an hour compared with 1.36±0.981 an hour recorded for 2 ppt ash exposure. The current study confirms that the crude ash concentrations tested had an adverse toxic effect on the biological parameters of the algal species Chlorococcum humicola in Iraq.

Susceptibility of Apple Varieties to Tetranychus urticae Koch and Panonychus ulmi Koch and its Relation to the Nutrient Contents and Spider Mite Predators in Apple Trees. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 40(2): 119-126. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-40.2.119126 The susceptibility to T. urticae and P. ulmi of eight apple varaietis were studied in southern Syria (Sweida) from 2018 to 2020. Significant differences of susceptibility to the two species between apple varieties, in addition to significant differences of apple-leaf nutrients content (NPK) were found. Results obtained showed that apple-leaf nutrients content affect the susceptibility to the two spider mite species differently. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed positive correlation to P. ulmi with apple-leaf contents of potassium and negative correlation with apple-leaf contents of nitrogen and showed positive correlation between T. urticae numbers and nitrogen and phosphorous content. T. urticae had a weak correlation with potassium apple-leaf content in 2019. Cluster analysis showed that apple varieties were distributed in three clusters based on the studied factors in 2020. The first cluster included the varieties Top Red, Starking Delicious and Starking Red Delicious which were the most sensitive to P. ulmi. The second cluster included Golden Delicious, Golden 972 and Granny Smith, and those were less sensitive to P. ulmi and the third cluster included Ozark Gold and Royal Red and these varieties were moderately sensitive to P. ulmi. The effects of studied factors were clearer on P. ulmi than on T. urticae. Keywords: Apple, T. urticae, P. ulmi, Phytoseiidae, Principal component analysis, PCA.

Fusarium wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum is a severe disease of cucumbers causing yield losses worldwide. Various experiments were conducted to assess the antifungal potential of fungal bio-agents isolated from soil and cucumber seed (bio-priming). Trichoderma koningii seemed to be the most effective bio-agent against F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum with mycelial inhibition rate above 90%, followed by Aspergillus niger (87.70%) under laboratory conditions. Results showed that T. koningii was found effective to enhance the germination rate (95.07%). In greenhouse experiments, T. koningii applied preventively on cucumber inoculated with F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum generated the lowest disease severity index (0.42), mortality (13.33%) and wilting rate (23.33%) and the highest fresh (0.857 g) and dry (0.180 g) weight of root, and root volume (2.04 cm3 ). Based on these results, T. koningii applied preventively against F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum on cucumber plants could be recommended as a biocontrol agent. However, although A. niger was effective against the tested phytopathogen, it is not recommended for biological control due to its carcinogenic properties. Keywords: Biological control, Cucumis sativus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, antifungal potential.
黄瓜枯萎病(Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum)是一种严重危害黄瓜产量的病害。从土壤和黄瓜种子中分离真菌生物制剂(生物启动法),对其抑菌潜力进行了研究。实验条件下,科宁木霉对黄瓜尖孢菌的抑菌率最高,达到90%以上,其次是黑曲霉,抑菌率为87.70%。结果表明,koningii可有效提高发芽率(95.07%)。在温室试验中,对接种了尖孢镰刀菌的黄瓜进行预防施用,其病害严重指数最低(0.42),死亡率最低(13.33%),萎蔫率最低(23.33%),根系鲜重最高(0.857 g),干重最高(0.180 g),根系体积最高(2.04 cm3)。综上所述,koningii对黄瓜尖孢镰刀菌具有一定的防治作用。然而,尽管黑曲霉对所测试的植物病原体有效,但由于其致癌特性,不建议用于生物防治。关键词:生物防治;黄瓜;黄瓜尖孢镰刀菌;

In the same perspective, a study was conducted to investigate the possibility of a possible constitutive association of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis L. (previously named Glomus intraradices) with saffron. The trial was conducted in the field at the experimental station of the Faculty of Sciences of Oujda (Morocco) by applying 3 doses of R. irregularis inoculum: 2, 4 and 6 ml per corm (T1, T2 and T3 treatments). Six months after planting, morphological, biochemical and mycorrhization parameters were measured. The results showed that the inoculation of saffron roots by R. irregularis was successful, which induced a significant increase in the number of leaves, the weight of stigmas and the percentage of daughter corms with large diameter. Similarly, the total chlorophyll content was increased, the highest value was recorded for the T3 treatment in April (0.04 mg/g MF), with an increase of 25% compared to the control.
