Item A comparative study of Colletotrichum species causing anthracnose in Hevea(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 2009) Jayasinghe, C.K.; Fernando, T.H.P.S.; Jayawardana, N.Item Phytophthora epidemics - possibility of management using resistant clones(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka. Agalawatte, 1996) Jayasinghe, C.K.; Jayaratne, A.H.R.Item Cultural characteristics and reproductive morphology of Geotrichum sp.. a guide to distinguish Geotrichum from Rigidoporus microporus(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1998) Jayasinghe, C.K.; Wettasinghe, J.L.P.C.Culture characteristics of Geotrichum sp. isolate IMI 354411, a fungus responsible for the saprophytic colonization on Hevea roots are described. It was also shown that this fungus could be easily distinguished from Regidoporus lignosus, a devastating pathogens of Hevea roots, by the zonate and cloudy appearence of its colonies on malt agar with a cream undersurface and the disarticulating hyphae which later break upto arthric conidia.Item Production of cell wall degrading enzymes by Corynespora cassiicola in culture and infected rubber tissue(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1998) Jayasinghe, C.K.; Fernando, T.H.P.S.; Priyanka, U.M.S.All isolates of Corynespora cassiicola used in the investigation secreted pectin lyase when grown in liquid medium with pctin as the main source of carbon. However, none of the isolates secreted polygalacturonase in the same medium. The extracts of rubber tissue inoculated and infected with C. cassiicola also showed only pectin lyase activity. When grown in liquid medium with carboxymethyl cellulose as the main source of carbon all isolates secreted cellulases viz. cellobiase and ß - glucosidase. The result of this study suggest that principal pectic enzyme involved in pathogenesis of the rubber isolates of C. cassiicola is pectin lyase and in the later stages cellulolytic enzymes possibly play a major roleItem Saprophytic colonization of Geotrichum sp. on Hevea brasiliensis roots, a condition that resembles white root disease(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatte, 1996) Jayasinghe, C.K.; Wettasinghe, J.L.P.C.
