Crop fungal diseases are a major threat to crop health and food security worldwide. The epidemiology is the basis for effective sustainable control of diseases. Safe, effective, sustainable, eco-friendly disease measures have important economic, ecological, social significances. This Special Issue, “Epidemiology Control Fungal Diseases Plants”, collected one communication nine original research...

Gene expression after leaf rust infection was compared in near-isogenic wheat lines differing in the Lr10 leaf rust resistance gene. RNA from susceptible and resistant plants was used for cDNA library construction. In total, 55 008 ESTs were sequenced from the two libraries, then combined and assembled into 14 268 unigenes for further analysis. Of these ESTs, 89% encoded proteins similar to (E ...

the allelopathic potential of the foliage tissues of eight barley cultivars was investigated using seedlings bioassays of indian brown mustard (brassica juncea) and green foxtail (setaria viridis) as typical broadleaf and grass weeds of the croplands. the correlations of allelochemical compounds with seed germination of weeds were determined. the barley cultivars used were jackson, bronco, cdc ...

Stromatal fruiting bodies of Cordyceps cardinalis were successfully produced in cereals. Brown rice, German millet and standard millet produced the longest-length of stromata, followed by Chinese pearl barley, Indian millet, black rice and standard barley. Oatmeal produced the shortest-length of fruiting bodies. Supplementation of pupa and larva to the grains resulted in a slightly enhanced pro...

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess brown rust resistance in 60 new sugarcane varieties bred by the China Sugarcane System recent years and 34 major cultivated growing areas China. these investigated field, molecular markers were used detect rust-resistance gene Bru1. results field survey showed that 66 (70.21%) 94 highly resistant moderately resistant, 28 (29.79%) susceptible suscept...

source of complete resistance is known, and current sources provide only partial resistance. Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Schwabe [teleomorph Gibberella zeae (Schwein.)], also known as scab, is a destructive disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L; T. turcurrently ranks FHB as the worst plant disease of wheat gidum L...

In the past 40 years, causal agent of yellow rust in barley, Psh (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei Erikss), has been registered worldwide. However, it caused greatest damage areas with cold and humid climates, where yield losses reached up to 70%. Races P. tritici (Pst), wheat, are usually not found those that infect barley (Psh) rarely virulent on wheat. there genotypes can be infected by ce...
