Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Switchgrass is an increasingly important biofuel crop, but knowledge of switchgrass fungal pathogens is not extensive. The purpose of this research was to identify the fungal pathogens that decrease crop yield of switchgrass grown in Tennessee and to investigate a potential sustainable disease management strategy from a value-added by-product of the switchgrass biofuel conversion process. The specific objectives were 1) to identify and characterize prevalent fungal pathogens of switchgrass in Tennessee, 2) assess switchgrass seed produced in the United States for seedborne fungal pathogens, and 3) evaluate switchgrass extractives for antimicrobial activity against plant pathogens.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of preventing or treating an infection by an infectious agent in a plant, the method comprising administering an effective amount of a solvent soluble switchgrass extract to the plant, wherein the solvent is ethanol and the infectious agent is a bacterium. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plant is a tomato plant. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bacterium is selected from Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, Xanthomonas perforans, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and Pseudomonas mediterranea.
