İsmail ERPER | Şenol YILDIZ | Sezim COLDOŞBEKOVA | Tair Esenalı Uulu

Fungal species associated with crown and root rot diseases in wheat have been extensively studied in many parts of the world. However, no reports on the relative importance and distribution of pathogens associated with wheat crown and root rot in Kyrgyzstan have been published. Hence, fungal species associated with wheat crown/root rot were surveyed in three main wheat production regions in northern Kyrgyzstan. Fungal species were isolated on 1/5 strength potato-dextrose agar amended with streptomycin (0.1 g/L) and chloramphenicol (0.05 g/L). A total of 598 fungal isolates from symptomatic tis ...More

Characterization of Beauveria bassiana isolates from Kyrgyzstan

Tinatin DOOLOTKELDİEVA | Saykal BOBUŞOVA | Sezim COLDOŞBEKOVA

We report on the enzootic foci of the insect pathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana, found in high meadows in the middle mountain steppes of Kyrgyzstan, at elevations from 1000 m to 2200 m. The growth characteristics of various B. bassiana isolates on different media and as a function of temperature were studied. In addition, the ability of the fungal isolates to produce enzymes with amylase, protease and lipase activities was investigated. Dense biomass production on inexpensive solid media (oatmeal and bean oil meal) produced conidia used for insect bioassays targeting white grub larvae (Phyl ...More

First report of dry rot of potato caused by Fusarium sambucinum in Kyrgyzstan

İsmail ERPER | Sezim COLDOŞBEKOVA

In October 2020, the presence of an intense Fusarium dry rot disease was detected during a survey of potato tubers in the production storage facilities in Chui region, Kyrgyzstan. The species of Fusarium isolates, obtained from infected tubers, were identified as Fusarium sambucinum by using morphological features and phylogenetic analyses of the transcription elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1-alpha) gene. The isolates were pathogenic to potato tubers, and Koch
