“…The fungus survives in the soil as zygospores (sexual state) or as resting spores (chlamydospores) (Barnett and Lilly 1956;Kirk 1984;Puscasu 1984). Sporangiospores spread by wind, water or insects, and cause fresh infection.…”

SOLANACEOUS CROPS CHAPTER Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) It is an important fruit-crop of the cold arid regions of India, and is one of the most delicious temperate fruits with a pleasant flavour. Ripe apricot is an excellent dessert and is used for the table purpose. Orange-coloured fruits are full of beta carotene and vit. C. FUNGAL DISEASES Brown-rot, c.o. Monilinia laxa (Aderh & Ruhl.) Honey M. fructigena (Aderh & Ruhl.) Honey Symptoms and control measures for this are detailed under brown-rot of peaches. Rhizopus-rot, c.o. Rhizopus spp. Symptoms and control measures are detailed under Rhizopus-rot of peaches. Sclerotinia disease caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary has also been reported on apricots (Walker 1975). BACTERIAL DISEASESA bacterial disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae Van Hall was reported by Durgapal (1971). It appeared on the fruits as reddish-purple to dark-brown lesions. POST-HARVEST MANAGEMENTApricots are soft and delicate and need to be consumed/processed within three days after harvest. They can be stored for 72-80 hr at room temperature. Storage life can be extended by storing at 5°C and at 85% relative humidity. Under controlled atmospheric conditions, fruits can be stored for 10 days at 3°C. CHAPTER Banana (Musa spp.) Banana and plantain is a dessert fruit or a starch staple to a large population of the world. The fruit is rich in vitamins A, B,C, minerals and energy. Several fungi are reported to cause post-harvest losses in banana. Cheriyan (1987) recorded maximum reduction in total sugars, total soluble solids and vitamin C in fruits infected with Colletotrichum gloeosporoides. Under pathogenesis, changes in protein and phenol contents in banana-fruits were also recorded. Protein concentration exhibited gradual fall under pathogenesis by prominent fungi, Botr...

“…Unfortunately however, living cultures of these species have not been preserved and are not available for study by other authors. Kirk & Kirk (1984), who presented the first record of D. verticillata from the British Isles, reported that the published description and illustration of D. oblongispora did not differ significantly from D. bacillispora, so that this species is probably a synonym of D. bacillispora. Nevertheless, D. bacillispora and D. oblongispora were listed by Benny (2007) as being distinct.…”

The coprophilous Dimargaris bacillispora is a rarely found and more rarely isolated microfungal species. In this study, we report the repeated observation and isolation of this fungus from a cave sediment used to rear cave-inhabiting isopods and springtails in the laboratory, originating from the Domica Cave, Slovakia. Dimargaris bacillispora was also observed and isolated from the faeces and cadavers of these laboratory-reared invertebrates. Subsequently, pure culture isolates of D. bacillispora were obtained from these substrates, characterised and identified. Finally, this species was then isolated directly from the cave sediment of the Domica Cave after several days of exposure of agar slants to the cave environment. This is the first record of this species from Europe and from a subterranean environment. Additionally, this study reports a new growth substrate for a fungus which was considered to be strictly coprophilous and mycoparasitic. This study suggests that this species is probably more widely distributed in nature than is reported in the literature, due to the difficulties of viewing its delicate sporophores and growing it in culture.
