Commercial peanut cultivars were evaluated for host suitability and sensitivity to Ditylenchus destructor. All cultivars were susceptible. Approximately 94% of the final population were in the pods. Highest Pf occurred at harvest on early maturing cultivars. Damage occurred on four of six cuttivars at Pi = 100/3 liters of soil and all six cultivars at Pi = 1,000. Norden and Selmani were the mos...

the effect of salinity was assessed on the activity of some major antioxidant enzymes i.e., superoxide dismutase (sod), peroxidase (pod), catalase (cat), in the seedlings’ roots or shoots of three winter canola (brassica napus l.) cultivars, colvert (tolerant), symbol (semi tolerant) and agat (susceptible). seedlings were treated with 0 (control), 50, 100 and 150 mm nacl for 24 h in hydropoic c...

Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., are one of the important plant parasitic nematodes of tomato in the world. The most suitable control method of plant parasitic nematodes is the use of resistance sources and tolerant cultivars. In the earlier studies, the results showed thatonly 2% (19 out of 537 varieties) were resistant and tolerant to the root knot nematodes. In the supplementary studie...

in order to evaluation of morphological selection criteria for salt tolerance screening in wheat (t. aestivum l.) a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design in 3 replications were conducted under greenhouse condition. salinity treatments involved 4 levels: s=1.3dsm-1 (control), 5, 10, 15 dsm-1 from calcium chloride and sodium chloride with 10:1 (na: ca ratio) and another facto...

Verticillium wilt of olive (VWO) is caused by the vascular pathogen Verticillium dahliae. One of the best VWO management measures is the use of tolerant cultivars; however, our knowledge on VWO tolerance/resistance genetics is very limited. A transcriptomic analysis was conducted to (i) identify systemic defense responses induced/repressed in aerial tissues of the tolerant cultivar Frantoio upo...

Using a series of multiplexed experiments we studied the quantitative changes in protein abundance of three Australian bread wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) in response to a drought stress. Three cultivars differing in their ability to maintain grain yield during drought, Kukri (intolerant), Excalibur (tolerant), and RAC875 (tolerant), were grown in the glasshouse with cyclic drought tre...
