Evaluation of sainfoin accessions exposed to powdery mildew disease at four locations in Iran

Efficiency of resistance genes in wheat to powdery mildew in some centers of disease incidence in Iran

Wheat powdery mildew caused by fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici is a destructive wheat disease, occurring in regions with cool and humid climates. In order to investigate the changes in pathogenicity of the disease and to identify the effective genetic source of resistance, a total of 29 wheat genotypes with different resistance major genes (Pm) were studied in two hotspots of Go...

Heterogeneity of Powdery Mildew Resistance Revealed in Accessions of the ICARDA Wild Barley Collection

The primary genepool of barley comprises two subspecies - wild barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum) and cultivated barley H. vulgare. subsp. vulgare. The former originated 5.5 million years ago in southwest Asia and is the immediate ancestor of cultivated barley, which arose around 10,000 years ago. In this study, the specific resistance of a set of 146 wild barley accessions, maintained ...

Allelic series of four powdery mildew resistance genes at the Pm3 locus in hexaploid bread wheat.

At the Pm3 locus in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum), 10 alleles conferring race-specific resistance to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici) are known. A cluster of genes encoding coiled-coil-nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat proteins spans the Pm3 locus on wheat chromosome 1A, and one member of this gene family has recently been identified as the Pm3b resistance gene....

Induction of Disease Symptoms in Barley by Powdery Mildew.

Powdery millews usually grow superficially on their hosts but produce symptoms of disease throughout the underlying host tissues. The symptoms include marked increase in respiratory rate (1, 3, 15. 24, 26, 30. 35); accumulation of organic and inorganic substances (1,29, 36): increase in dry weight (10. 26) ; increase in wet weight (3) decrease in photosynthesis when the disease is well develope...
