Materials on the study of low propagation coefficient Miscanthus giganteus, search for new ways and development technologies accelerated this crop are presented. Artificial lighting conditions elevated temperature humidity have shown a negative impact growth gigantus plants in laboratory conditions. stimulated stretching plants, which led to their lodging. Conditions high contributed rapid spre...

UNLABELLED SUMMARY The rapid global re-emergence of Fusarium head blight disease of wheat and barley in the last decade along with contamination of grains with mycotoxins attributable to the disease have spurred basic research on the fungal causal agent. As a result, Fusarium graminearum quickly has become one of the most intensively studied fungal plant pathogens. This review briefly summarize...

AAC Justice is a white-hulled spring oat ( Avena sativa L.) cultivar. It was postulated to carry the crown rust resistance gene Pc91, which effective against prevalent races on Canadian Prairies at time of its release. had very good loose and covered smut moderate most prairie stem races, intermediate in reaction barley yellow dwarf virus. has high test weight, average kernel groat percentage p...

Mapping population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) representing 541 × Ot1-3 cross exhibited wide variations of benzoxazinoid (BX) content in leaves and roots, brown rust resistance, α-amylase activity in the grain, and resistance to preharvest sprouting. QTL mapping of major BX species using a DArT-based map revealed a complex genetic architecture underlying the production of these main seco...

Interaction of the the rust fungus Puccinia miscanthi with the biofuel plant Miscanthus sinensis during the teliospore phase was investigated by light and electron microscopy. P. miscanthi telia were oval-shaped and present on both the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces. Teliospores were brown, one-septate (two-celled), and had pedicels attached to one end. Transmission electron microscopy revea...

ABSTRACT Soybean crops grown in the plains of eastern Colombia have been affected by incidence rust. This disease, still officially regarded as American soybean rust (caused Phakopsora meibomiae) Colombian Department Agriculture (ICA), causes serious damage to growing areas. Symptoms rust, such reddish-brown lesions, observed since 2004 upper half plants during vegetative stages. In 2005 and 20...

Rust fungi are devastating plant pathogens and cause a large economic impact on wheat production worldwide. To overcome this rapid loss of resistance in varieties, we generated stable transgenic wheat plants expressing short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting potentially vital genes of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Protein kinase A (PKA) has been proved to play important roles in ...

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful reverse genetics tool wherein the expression of a targeted gene is reduced by a viral vector in a sequence homology-dependent manner. A VIGS system using a modified Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) has been developed and successfully employed in the functional characterization of genes in monocots. There are several inherent limitations to the ...

Barley is an important winter cereal crop in Jumla (2240-3000 masl), Nepal. It is grown in different cropping patterns in both Khet and Bari land conditions. A total of 207 accessions of barley landraces collected from various locations of Jumla were studied for agromorphological characteristics in Khumaltar and Jumla. Data on eight qualitative and five quantitative traits in 2-m row plot were ...
