Towards understanding factors that govern fertilizer response in casave: lessons from East Africa [PDF]

Information on fertilizer response in cassava in Africa is scarce. We conducted a series of on-farm and on-station trials in two consecutive years to quantify yield responses of cassava to mineral fertilizer in Kenya and Uganda and to evaluate factors ...

Virtuous Deferral

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Virtue epistemology has long struggled with the “Creditability Dilemma”: how can knowledge gained through deference be creditable to the knower if it primarily depends on others’ cognitive work? We propose a novel solution by developing a telic account of doxastic deference as a distinctive kind of social‐epistemic performance.

Fire blight in different production systems in Germany and strategies to control the disease [PDF]

, 2004
Fire blight, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, is a serious disease of pome fruits in many countries of the world. The disease was first recognized at the end of the 18th century in the USA.

The annotated blueprint: integrated functional genomic resources for a model tetraploid wheat Triticum turgidum cv Kronos

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Triticum turgidum cv Kronos is a tetraploid wheat cultivar that underpins one of the most widely used community platforms for functional genomics. Over the past decade, researchers have generated c. 3000 exome‐capture (EC) and promoter‐capture (PC) datasets linked to mutagenized seed stocks, along with extensive transcriptomic and phenotypic ...

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).

Harnessing bacterial bioagents to control sheath blight of rice

Technology in Agronomy
Sheath blight is caused by the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani which causes yield losses of 20% up to 70%. While fungicide application is indeed effective against R.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Interpretable Deep Learning applied to Plant Stress Phenotyping [PDF]

, 2017
Availability of an explainable deep learning model that can be applied to practical real world scenarios and in turn, can consistently, rapidly and accurately identify specific and minute traits in applicable fields of biological sciences, is scarce ...

OsWRKY53‐OsGT1 Module Regulates Rice Tiller Development and Is Involved in Fine‐Tuning Strigolactone Signaling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant architecture, including plant height, tiller number, and leaf angle, is a critical determinant of rice yield. However, few genes have been identified that simultaneously regulate these traits and hold breeding value. We have previously shown that OsWRKY53 regulates the plant height and leaf angle via BR signalling.

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.
