sclerotinia stem rot (white stem rot), an important fungal disease, which is caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is one of the serious diseases of various plants such as canola. use of resistant cultivars is an effective method to control the disease. a greenhouse experiment based on cotyledon inoculation using mycelial suspension of two different isolates of s. sclerotiorum was conducted to ev...

The Volga region is one of the main grain-producing regions Russia. Wheat stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici among most destructive fungal diseases wheat. Recently, its harmfulness has increased in region. In this regard, an analysis resistance and diversity Sr genes Russian wheat cultivars necessary. work, 126 (including 23 durum 103 bread cultivars) approved for use were eva...

The resistance/susceptibility of 5 cassava cultivars from Ghana to infectious clones of two cassava mosaic viruses (ACMV-[CM] and EACMV/ACMV-[CM]) was investigated in this study. Plantlets of cassava cultivars were obtained using nodal cuttings initiated from tissue culture. These cassava cultivars were challenged with both DNA A and B components of the infectious clones named above using parti...

Pyrenopeziza brassicae, cause of light leaf spot (LLS), is an important pathogen oilseed rape and vegetable brassicas has a wide geographic distribution. Exploitation host resistance remains the most sustainable economically viable solution for disease management. This study evaluated 18 cultivars or breeding lines against P. brassicae in glasshouse experiments. Selected cultivars/lines were in...

Two cultivars Buram-3-ho (susceptible) and CR-Hagwang (moderate resistant) of kimchi cabbage seedlings showed differential defense responses to anthracnose (Colletotrichum higginsianum), black spot (Alternaria brassicicola) and black rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, Xcc) diseases in our previous study. Defense-related hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene led ...

The State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) is the largest producer of oat in Brazil with the aid of consolidated breeding programs, which are constantly releasing new cultivars. The main objectives of this study were to: 1) evaluate the annual genetic progress in grain yield and hectoliter weight of the oat cultivars in RS, with and without fungicide use on aerial parts of plants; and 2) evaluate the ...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Moench.] yield is determined by interactions amongst soybean cultivars’ genetic potential, agronomic practices, and environmental conditions. Despite the high adoption of herbicide-resistant cultivars across Nebraska United States, comparative potential non-herbicide-resistant (“conventional”) in not well understood. A field experiment was conducted at five locations 2...

Rust is the main disease affecting Coffea arabica, most economically important coffee species. The objective of this study was to analyze C. arabica cultivars with different levels rust resistance, including bean size, raw appearance, final sensory scores (FSS), and aroma taste nuances cup. experiment designed in randomized blocks (RBD) three replications 20 treatments (cultivars), totaling 60 ...

The two most economically important plant-parasitic nematodes infesting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) in the United States are the root-knot (Meloidogyne incognita) and the reniform (Rotylenchulus reniformis) nematode. The common means of managing these pests is use of in-furrow or seed-treatment nematicides, or by rotation with non-host crops or resistant cultivars of crops grown in rotation. Un...

Thirty-two cultivars of 10 commonly-grown bedding plants, representing eight families, were evaluated for their response to infection by the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita race 3, under greenhouse conditions. Four ageratum cultivars, two marigold, and two salvia cultivars were rated resistant after exposure for 8 weeks. Four begonia, four celosia, one dianthus, one verbena, one vinca...
