ABSTRACT Specific resistances to isolates of the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola, which causes Septoria tritici blotch of wheat, have been detected in many cultivars. Cvs. Flame and Hereward, which have specific resistance to the isolate IPO323, were crossed with the susceptible cv. Longbow. The results of tests on F1 and F2 progeny indicated that a single semidominant gene control...

SUMMARY Idiomorphs mat1-1 and mat1-2 from Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana, were isolated. Degenerate oligos were used to amplify the HMG box of the mat1-2 idiomorph from M. fijiensis, showing homology with the HMG box of Mycosphaerella graminicola. Using a DNA walking strategy, anchored on the DNA lyase gene towards the HMG box, a 9-kb-long regi...

ارزیابی خشک‌سالی، ازنظر زمانی و مکانی، برای برنامه‌ریزی‌های کاهش خسارات در استان کردستان اهمیت بسیاری دارد. این تحقیق، از شاخص بارش استانداردشده همچنین، پوشش گیاهی بارزشدة استخراجی تصاویر ماهواره‌ای، به‌منزلة پارامتر تعیین‌کنندة استفاده شده است. به‌این‌منظور، داده‌های آماری ایستگاه‌های هواشناسی شامل حداکثر دمای ماهیانه، مجموع سالیانه نیز سنجندة مادیس به‌کار رفته با مقایسة پارامترهای میانگین سال...

Polygalacturonase-inhibitor protein (PGIP) is a defense protein found in plant cell walls. It prevents the degradation of pectin by modulating the endo-polygalacturonase activity. The present study has used heterologous anti-bean PGIP probes to investigate the role of PGIP in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br.] resistance against downy mildew caused by oomycete pathogen Sclerospora gra...

Rust diseases cause significant damage in forage and seed crops of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), which is highly heterozygous and heterogeneous and thus presents difficulty in genetic analysis. There has been no definitive demonstration of the existence of pathotypes for stem rust or other rusts of perennial ryegrass, although experiments with crown rust (Puccinia coronata) of this host ...
