Molecular Epidemiology of Verticillium Wilt of Olive in Southern and Central Tunisia: Evidence of Host Adaptation Hypothesis

Yaakoub Gharbi, Emna Bouazizi, Radhouane Gdoura & Mohamed Ali Triki · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2016

Aims: During the last two decades, verticillium wilt of olive has spread to young olive orchards where highly susceptible crops such as potato, watermelon and tomato are cultivated near to olive orchards. It was therefore hypothesized that there is an adaptation phenomenon that d...

Inductions of Defense Response in Olive Plants against Verticillium dahliae through Application of Salicylic Acid as Abiotic Inducer

Yaakoub Gharbi, Emna Bouazizi & Mohamed Ali Triki · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2016

Aims: To find suitable approach to control V. dahliae, we evaluated the potential of salicylic acid in the induction of systemic resistance in olive plants and determine whether acquired resistance is correlated with soluble proteins and polyphenol contents. Place and Duration of...

Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Verticillium dahliae, the Causal Agent of Verticillium Wilt of Olive in Tunisia

Yaakoub Gharbi, Emna Bouazizi, Mohamed Ali Triki & Radhouane Gdoura · Journal of Applied Life Sciences International · 2016

Aims: During the last two decades, verticillium wilt of olive has spread to young olive orchards were it causes severe yield losses and death of olive trees in southern and central regions of Tunisia. Therefore, identification of the causal agent as well as the study of its patho...
