Pathogen that causes root and caulis rot in tobacco floating-seedling system was separated and identified to be Botrytis cinerea Pevs with the determination of its pathogenicity.

Chemical control technique of stem-bulb rot caused by Fusarium solani in Cycas sp.;

rhizogenes was used to induce transgenic hairy roots on sweet potato,and to evaluate an in vitro sweet potato hairy root system for investigations of resistance to Ditylenchus destructor.

This paper reviews the morphological and biological characters,systematic status of potato rot nematodes( Ditylenchus destructor ) as well as disease regularity of stem nematode disease of sweet potato and its control techniques.

Ditylenchus destructor which causes sweet potato rot can overwinter as juveniles as well as adults in soil in China.
