The number of phylloplane fungi/cm<sup>2</sup> leaf varied insignificantly on mustard leaves treated with the metabolities of <i>Cladosporium cladosporioides</i> and <i>Alternaria brassicae</i>; in the beginning but decreased significantly after about a month. <i>C. cladosporioides, C. herbarum, A. pullulans</i> and <i>E. nigrum</i> were tolerant to ihe metabolites used while <i>T. viride</i> was most susceptible.

ABSTRACTBacterial biological control agents (BCAs) are largely used as live products to control plant pathogens. However, due to variable environmental and ecological factors, live BCAs usually fail to produce desirable results against foliar pathogens. In this study, we investigated the potential of cell-free culture filtrates of 12 different bacterial BCAs isolated from flower beds for controlling foliar diseases caused byAlternariaspp.In vitrostudies showed that culture filtrates from two isolates belonging toBacillus subtilisandBacillus amyloliquefaciensdisplayed strong efficacy and potencies againstAlternariaspp. The antimicrobial activity of the culture filtrate of these two biological control agents was effective over a wider range of pH (3.0 to 9.0) and was not affected by autoclaving or proteolysis. Comparative liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses showed that a complex mixture of cyclic lipopeptides, primarily of the fengycin A and fengycin B families, was significantly higher in these two BCAs than inactiveBacillusspp. Interaction studies with mixtures of culture filtrates of these two species revealed additive activity, suggesting that they produce similar products, which was confirmed by LC-tandem MS analyses. Inin plantapre- and postinoculation trials, foliar application of culture filtrates ofB. subtilisreduced lesion sizes and lesion frequencies caused byAlternaria alternataby 68 to 81%. Taken together, our studies suggest that instead of live bacteria, culture filtrates ofB. subtilisandB. amyloliquefacienscan be applied either individually or in combination for controlling foliar diseases caused byAlternariaspecies.

This experiment was conducted to study jojoba response (Simmondsia chinensis) evergreen dioecious shrub to zinc sulphate plus gibberellic acid foliar application on vegetative, flowering, seed yield and seed chemical composition at private farm during two successive seasons of 2015 and 2016 in the Egypt. An experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. In this study, jojoba plants were sprayed with all combination treatments of Zinc sulphate (0, 25, 50 and 75ppm) plus gibberellic acid (0, 50, 100 and 150ppm) thrice in the beginning of December, March and May. There results revealed that all combination treatments showed a significant improvement in all examined parameters with an increase in ZnSO4 / GA3 levels in comparison with untreated trees. Therefore, the maximum significant branch length (99.36 and 103.46 cm), secondary branches length (55.82 and 58.36 cm) obtained by application of 75ppm ZnSO4 plus 150ppm GA3 treatment, so this combination recorded the highest percentage of flowering %, final fruit set (95.01, 95.24%), total chlorophyll, mineral% content, seed yield per feedan (2200, 2145 kg) and seed lipid content(57.6%, 58.55%) at first and second terms respectively. The application of 75ppm ZnSO4 plus 150ppm GA3 treatment is recommended to improve jojoba traits which lead to raise its economic value as a promising tree which potentially useful as a biofuel with multi chemical and pharmaceuticals industries uses.

In the mid-nineteenth century Virchow revolutionized pathology by introduction of the concept of “cellular pathology”. Today, a century later, this term has increasing significance in health and disease. We now are in the beginning of a new era in pathology, one which might well be termed “organelle pathology” or “subcellular pathology”. The impact of lysosomal diseases on clinical medicine exemplifies this role of pathology of organelles in elucidation of disease today.Another aspect of cell organelles of prime importance is their pathologic alteration by drugs, toxins, hormones and malnutrition. The sensitivity of cell organelles to minute alterations in their environment offers an accurate evaluation of the site of action of drugs in the study of both function and toxicity. Examples of mitochondrial lesions include the effect of DDD on the adrenal cortex, riboflavin deficiency on liver cells, elevated blood ammonia on the neuron and some 8-aminoquinolines on myocardium.

Purpose This study investigated the nature of the association of lexical–grammatical abilities within and across languages in Latino dual language learners (DLLs) with specific language impairment (SLI) using language-specific and bilingual measures. Method Seventy-four Spanish/English–speaking preschoolers with SLI from preschools serving low-income households participated in the study. Participants had stronger skills in Spanish (first language [L1]) and were in the initial stages of learning English (second language [L2]). The children's lexical, semantic, and grammar abilities were assessed using normative and researcher-developed tools in English and Spanish. Hierarchical linear regressions of cross-sectional data were conducted using measures of sentence repetition tasks, language-specific vocabulary, and conceptual bilingual lexical and semantic abilities in Spanish and English. Results Results indicate that language-specific vocabulary abilities support the development of grammar in L1 and L2 in this population. L1 vocabulary also contributes to L2 grammar above and beyond the contribution of L2 vocabulary skills. However, the cross-linguistic association between vocabulary in L2 and grammar skills in the stronger or more proficient language (L1) is not observed. In addition, conceptual vocabulary significantly supported grammar in L2, whereas bilingual semantic skills supported L1 grammar. Conclusions Our findings reveal that the same language-specific vocabulary abilities drive grammar development in L1 and L2 in DLLs with SLI. In the early stages of L2 acquisition, vocabulary skills in L1 also seem to contribute to grammar skills in L2 in this population. Thus, it is critical to support vocabulary development in both L1 and L2 in DLLs with SLI, particularly in the beginning stages of L2 acquisition. Clinical and educational implications are discussed.
