Genomics Approaches to Biotic Stress Resistance
2016Sorghum productivity around the world is influenced by a wide array of biotic and abiotic constraints, some of which cause significant economic losses. Great efforts have been made in the past to improve plant resistance to biotic stresses such as insect pests, diseases, and parasitic weeds through breeding and genetic engineering.

Biotic stress resistance in agriculture through antimicrobial peptides
Peptides, 2012Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the hosts' defense molecules against microbial pathogens and gaining extensive research attention worldwide. These have been reported to play vital role of host innate immunity in response to microbial challenges. AMPs can be used as a natural antibiotic as an alternative of their chemical counterpart for protection of

Breeding for Resistance to Biotic Stresses
2020Biotic stresses are one of the major causes of economic damage in sorghum crop. These stresses that cause sorghum crop yield losses are large and diverse and include insects, diseases, and parasitic plants. Over 150 insects have been listed as pests or potential pests of sorghum (Jotwani and Young, Recent developments on chemical control of insect ...

Genomic Designing for Biotic Stress Resistant Rice
2021Among major cereal crops, rice plays an important role in global food security as well as to the economic and social stability. Considering the impacts of global warming on agriculture and alarming yield losses due to biotic and abiotic stresses as well as the effect of the climate change on the future insect-pest scenario, effective utilization of ...

Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance/Tolerance in Plants
2012The long-term goal of crop improvement for biotic stress tolerance in plants is a traditional objective of breeders. Plants must continuously defend themselves against attacks from bacteria, viruses, fungi, invertebrates, and even other plants. This chapter will therefore summarize the benefits and drawbacks of resistance versus chemical protection ...

Biotic Resistance of Soil to Plant Pathogens
1991ABSTRACT Work is reported on the effect of thinning in a young Scotch pine stand on two root pathogens ( Heterobasidion annosum and Armillaria obscura ) in connection with the phenomenon of biotic resistance of soil to plant pathogens.

Molecular Mechanisms for Resistance to Biotic Stresses
2020Diverse pathogens including viruses, viroids, fungi, and bacteria are responsible of diseases on Citrus. Some of them in addition represent a treath to Citrus industry in some specific areas, others are either worldwide spread or have a restricted distribution.

Molecular Breeding for Improved Biotic Stress Resistance
2001Molecular breeding of wheat in the sense of genetic engineering will be the subject of this paper. It will review actual strategies for engineering fungal resistance in crops. An efficient method for genetic transformation of wheat like the biolistic method using immature embryos as target tissue — together with genes that directly or indirectly ...

Scion Breeding for Resistance to Biotic Stresses
2019The majority of grapevine cultivars used for wine, table grape and dried-fruit production are derived from the Eurasian grape species Vitis vinifera because of its superior aroma and flavour characteristics. However, this species has little or no genetic resistance against the major pests and pathogens that attack above-ground parts of the grapevine ...

Breeding wheat for resistance to biotic stresses
Euphytica, 1997Although common wheat and durum may be attacked by a large number of diseases and pests, less than 20 diseases and about five insect or mite pests are of major significance. Some of these have a global distribution and occur in most wheat-growing areas, whereas others are restricted to certain geographic regions or climatic zones.
