Present research work embodies the different methods of Jatropha propagation by using seed germination, stem cutting and tissue culture methods. The extracts of leaf, stem and roots of Jatropha curcas L. were screened in order to study their effects on plant pathogenic fungi, plant pathogenic bacteria and human pathogenic bacteria. Interestingly antibacterial and antifungal nature of plant extracts have been noted. Regarding biochemical analysis of Jatropha species, the studies have made in the part second of the research work and the results are found to be useful in order to record the...

In the present research work, efforts have been taken to study the incidence of post harvest fungi on papaya fruits, impact of post-harvest fungi on nutritional status of papaya, Molecular characterization of Fusarium spp. isolates by using AFLP technique, cellulase and pectinase enzymes activity of post-harvest fungi with respect to different nutritional sources and physical conditions; finally eco-friendly management of post-harvest fungi by using Trichoderma sp., different plant parts and plant products. This type of work will be helpful to the Researcher working in the field of...

Present research work embodies collection of oil seed samples from different store houses, market places, godowns, fields from different districts of Marathwada region of Maharashtra state (India). For detection of seed mycoflora associated with seed samples, autoclaved Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), Glucose Nitrate Agar (GNA), Czapek Dox Agar (CZA) and Rose Bengal Agar (RBA) media were used for isolation. Among isolated fungi, 10 fungi were screened for further study on the basis of their dominance of occurrence on oilseeds. These fungi are Alternaria dianthicola, Curvularia lunata, Curvularia...
