889 - Performance <strong>of</strong> Pinus roxburghii inoculated with<br />

pure culture <strong>of</strong> four indigenous ectomycorrhizal fungi<br />

Many ectomycorrhizal fungi were isolated from the<br />

sporocarps <strong>of</strong> different places such as (Dadheldhura,<br />

Makwanpur and Palpa district etc.) <strong>of</strong> pine forest <strong>of</strong><br />

Nepal.Out <strong>of</strong> the isolated ectomycorrhizal fungi, four<br />

different ectomycorrhizal fungi namely Astraeus<br />

hygrometricus, Boletus sp., Lycoperdon pyriforme and<br />

Pisoolithus arrijus. These four fungi were subjected to pure<br />

culture synthesis. These fungi were selected from the pot<br />

culture experiment. Then these four indigenous pure<br />

ectomycorrhizal fungi were inoculated in nursery Pinus<br />

roxburghii for their performance at two nursery sites,<br />

Godavari forest nursery and Chalnakhel forest nursery<br />

sites. Their performance were observed after six, nine and<br />

twelve months <strong>of</strong> seedlings. Inoculated seedlings attained<br />

better shoot height and had better root length. more lateral<br />

roots, more mycorrhizal roots, more weight <strong>of</strong> shoot and<br />

more weight <strong>of</strong> root per plant. The inoculated transplants<br />

had higher survival rate in the field as compared to those<br />

which were not inoculated.<br />

890 - Effect <strong>of</strong> immunization against candidiasis after<br />

ultrasonic treatment <strong>of</strong> fungal keratoconjunctivitis<br />

Ocular candidiasis was diagnosed in six 12-weeks old<br />

Persian kittens after four-weeks unsuccessful treatment <strong>of</strong><br />

chronic keratoconjunctivitis by S<strong>of</strong>radex. Bilateral corneal<br />

erosions and conjunctival infiltrations were detected.<br />

Examination <strong>of</strong> corneal scrapings revealed oval, yeast-like<br />

cells attributable to Candida albicans. Examination <strong>of</strong><br />

conjunctival fluid samples by ELISA revealed decreasing<br />

<strong>of</strong> Immunoglobulins A and G quantity with absence <strong>of</strong><br />

specific IgA and IgG to Candida whole-cell antigens.<br />

Ultrasound treatment was applied on right eyes <strong>of</strong> all cats<br />

for determination <strong>of</strong> antifungal activity and<br />

immunostimulation <strong>of</strong> ultrasound in course <strong>of</strong> 10<br />

applications daily by 10 minutes with 0.2 W/cm2 dosage.<br />

Almost full healing was occurred in all, even in<br />

contralateral eyes after treatment. Candida cells were<br />

absent, specific IgA to Candida whole-cell antigens were<br />

detected in high titers. Probably, ultrasound destroyed<br />

Candida cells and delivered antigens through epithelium to<br />

immune representative cells followed by local humoral<br />

immune response formation. Local immunity was<br />

stimulated by ultrasound as well. This immune response<br />

was not limited in exposed eyes, but was expanded to<br />

contralateral eyes due to specific immune cells exchange.<br />

Thus, ultrasound can be useful for some transmucous<br />

vaccine delivery systems and for specific treatment without<br />

infectious agents determination, particularly, in<br />

parasiteocenotic cases.<br />

891 - Role <strong>of</strong> salicylic acid in systemic resistance<br />

induced by Pseudomonas spp. against Macrophomina<br />

phaseolina in chickpea<br />

Pseudomonas fluorescens isolate 4-92, applied to roots,<br />

induced systemic resistance against charcoal rot disease in<br />

chickpea roots caused by Macrophomina phaseolina<br />

(Tassi) Goid. Salicylic acid (SA) from bacterial culture on<br />

plant tissues was quantified by high performance liquid<br />

chromatography. P. fluorescens produced SA in king's B<br />

broth and also induced chickpea roots to accumulate<br />

endogenous SA one day after bacterial inoculation. Using a<br />

split root system, more SA accumulated in roots treated<br />

with bacteria than in distant roots on the opposite side <strong>of</strong><br />

the root system in the first two-three days, but this<br />

difference disappeared after 5-6 days. SA levels were<br />

significantly higher in plants treated with bacteria<br />

compared to the split control, from one to six days after<br />

bacterization. SA did not inhibit sclerotial growth <strong>of</strong> M.<br />

phaseolina at 100-200 µg ml -1 , invitro, but higher levels<br />

inhibited sclerotial growth. Exogenously applied Sa failed<br />

to induce local or systemic resistance against a challenge<br />

infection by the pathogen in planta. The results <strong>of</strong> this<br />

study show that exogenous applied SA does not induce<br />

systemic resistance against charcoal rot disease in chickpea<br />

root caused by M. phaseolina, but endogenous SA<br />

accumulation in chickpea roots may be involved in induced<br />

systemic resistance.<br />

Our purpose was to investigate naturally formed oospores<br />

in Moscow region. On the presence <strong>of</strong> oospores, 1099<br />

blighted potato leaves, 123 tomato leaves, and 188 tomato<br />

fruits were checked. The frequency <strong>of</strong> oospores in potato<br />

leaves was 5.6%. In tomato fruits and leaves the oospores<br />

were found more <strong>of</strong>ten. Their frequencies were 22.8 and<br />

42.0% respectively. This can make the problems for tomato<br />

cropping in Moscow region. The oospores had a quite<br />

different morphology. They varied in size (their diameter
