Effects of Systemic Pesticides Imidacloprid and Metalaxyl on the Phyllosphere of Pepper Plants
Figure 1
DGGE analysis of the fungal community in the phyllosphere of pepper plants subjected to foliage or soil applications of imidachloprid, metalaxyl, or water (untreated control). Lanes designated with M correspond to a marker which contained 20 ng μL−1 of the ITS-PCR products of the following fungi with the sequence they appear on the gel from top to bottom: Pleurotus djamor, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici, F. solani, P. eryngii, P. ostreatus, and P. cystidiosus. Bands identified through screening with clone libraries are designated with arrows accompanied with a code number as shown in Table 1.
