https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bms-986165.html Since 2017, a new leaf wilt syndrome was observed in plantations of date palm in Tunisia. Its incidence increases sharply from year to year, especially in 'Deglet Nour' trees, aged between 5 and 15 years. In severe cases, the large number of dried leaves per tree can lead to complete cessation of date production. Symptoms appear on one or more leaves in the center of the crown. Whitening and drying start at the top of the leaflets and proceed to their base, while the midrib remains green. Then the whole leaf dies. Small white-creamy leaflet fragments and roots were collected from five different regions in the Djerid Oases. They were disinfected with diluted bleach (0,8 % NaOCl) and ethanol (80%) (each 2 min), rinsed with sterile distilled water, dried and finally plated in Petri dishes containing Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) amended with 50mg/l neomycin. After incubation for 7 days at 25ºC±2, emerging fungal colonies were single-spored by serial dilution. They were transferred to PDA, Carnation Leaf Agar (CLA) 2 °C and 70% R.H.. Isolates of F. proliferatum led to dryness and wilting leaflets after 3 weeks. Fusarium brachygibbosum only induced mild leaf yellowing, while in combination they were more virulent. Fungal isolates of both species were re-isolated and their identity confirmed to be the same of those isolated from leaflets infected in the open field, confirming Koch's postulates. Control plants lacked symptoms. Fusarium proliferatum is known as date palm pathogen in many countries (Saleh et al. 2017), however, to our knowledge, this is the first report of F. proliferatum and also F. brachygibbosum causing Leaf Wilt symptoms on P. dactylifera in Tunisia.The dagger nematode Xiphinema index has a major economic impact due to its transmission of Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) to grapevines. This vector nematode, which was introduced into Western countries from the Middle East together with the domesticated grape
