The silver-leaf nightshade nenmtode, Nothanguina phyllobia, is a promising biological control agent for its only reported host, Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. When infective larvae of N. phyllobia and stem tissue of 39 econmnically important plant species were suspended in 0.5% water agar, nematodes aggregated about S. elaeagnifolium, Solanum carolinense L., Solanum melongena L., Solanum tuberosum...

12W932-349 is a soft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar registered for Ontario, Canada. It has high grain yield with good pastry quality and moderately resistant to Fusarium head blight. well adapted the growing areas of Ontario.

pasting is one of the most important properties of wheat starch determining the flour quality and functionality. twenty three new plant type (npt) wheat derivatives along with three checks (pbw 343, hd 2329, and raj 3765) have been studied in multi-location trials to assess the variation and environment induced fluctuations for their starch pasting properties. although all flour pasting charact...

Aim. To investigate the functionality of transgene in seed generation (T2) genetically modified winter wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.) terms productivity conditions normal and insufficient water supply. Methods. Determination yield structure protein content. Results. The indicators control T2 biotechnological under growing deficit are analyzed. quantitative composition before after osmotic ...

Nitrogen (N) fertilization is critical for crop growth; however, its effect on growth and evapotranspiration (ETc) behaviors under different amounts of rainfall not well understood. As such, there a need studying the impact nitrogen application rates ETc components. Agricultural system models help to fill this knowledge gap, e.g., Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM2), which integrates growth-...

We submitted to ozone treatment Triticum aestivum (common wheat) seeds severely contaminated by fungi. Fungi colonies developed when seeds were placed over malt agar medium in Petri dishes; Fusarium sp. and Alternaria sp. were identified. However, conventional colonies counting did not allow a clear assessment of the effect of ozone disinfection. We thus used self-organizing maps (SOMs) to perf...

Plant roots utilize at least two distinct pathways with high and low affinities to accumulate K+. The system for high-affinity K+ uptake, which takes place against the electrochemical K+ gradient, requires direct energization. Energization of K+ uptake via Na+ coupling has been observed in algae and was recently proposed as a mechanism for K+ uptake in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To investiga...
