Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is an aerobic diazotrophic plant-growth-promoting bacterium isolated from different gramineous plants. We showed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) were produced at early stages of rice root colonization, a typical plant defense response against pathogens. The transcription of the pathogen-related-10 gene of the jasmonic acid (JA) pathway but not of the PR-1 gen...

The ability of phytopathogenic fungi to overcome the chemical defense barriers of their host plants is of great importance for fungal pathogenicity. We studied the role of cyclic hydroxamic acids and their related benzoxazolinones in plant interactions with pathogenic fungi. We identified species-dependent differences in the abilities of Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, Gaeumannomyces gram...

A machine-vision method applicable to precision farming for environmental friendly agriculture is proposed which distinguish which of clover and gramineous weeds is dominant, within a section of 30cm square. Pictures of vegetated ground are treated as random textures and micro-shape based feature extraction method is applied. As many as 98are correctly classified.

Although fullerene (C60) has attracted great interest as a carbon-based nanomaterial with unique properties, today, little is known about the interaction of its water-soluble derivates, including fullerenol higher plants. Here, we investigated how [C60(OH)22-24] affects Zea mays, Strategy II plant, depending on iron status. Iron deficiency chlorosis common nutritional disorder affecting Maize p...

the majority of eriophyid mites are phytophagous and some of them are important pests of plants. however, due to host specificity and other bioecological characteristics seen in members of this family, they are considered as important biocontrol agents of weeds. in order to identify the eriophyid mites associated with important weeds in agroecosystems in razavi khorasan province, during 2010 an...

Rice is a monocot gramineous crop, and one of the most important staple foods. Rice is considered a model species for most gramineous crops. Extensive research on rice has provided critical guidance for other crops, such as maize and wheat. In recent years, climate change and exacerbated soil degradation have resulted in a variety of abiotic stresses, such as greenhouse effects, lower temperatu...
