Modulus of Elasticity Loss as a Rapid Indicator of Rot-fungal Attack on Untreated and Preservative-treated Wood in Laboratory Tests

BioResources, 2017
The modulus of elasticity (MOE) of wood is a sensitive indicator of rot-fungal attack. To develop an alternative method of rapid assessment of fungal decay in the laboratory, changes in static MOE of untreated and preservative-treated wood were measured ...

ZmWRKY29 Transcriptionally Represses ZmRBOHC to Attenuate ROS Production and Facilitates Gibberella Stalk Rot Susceptibility in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, severely threatens maize production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance to GSR remain poorly understood. Here, we have identified ZmWRKY29 as a transcriptional repressor induced by F.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Transcriptome and Hormone Regulations Shape Drought Stress‐Dependent Fusarium Head Blight Susceptibility in Different Barley Genotypes

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about regulatory mechanisms that crop plants use to respond to combinations of abiotic and biotic stress. We analysed four barley genotypes under simultaneous Fusarium culmorum infection and drought stress by phenotyping for Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) disease, drought stress responses, hormone profiling and transcriptome ...

Mycorrhizal specificity of fully mycoheterotrophic Yoania in Taiwan and China and novel natural abundance stable isotope patterns

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Three species of the mycoheterotrophic orchid genus Yoania found in Taiwan and China are associated with a single taxonomic unit of white‐rot fungus from the genus Physisporinus and exhibit a stable isotope pattern distinct from other fully mycoheterotrophic (FMH) orchids associated with wood‐decaying fungi.

Transcriptomic Insights into the Degradation Mechanisms of Fomitopsis pinicola and Its Host Preference for Coniferous over Broadleaf Deadwood

Microorganisms
The degradation of deadwood is a vital ecological process for geochemical cycling and biodiversity conservation, with two main routes of fungal degradation: brown and white rot. Brown rot fungi cause severe destruction of wood cellulose and lead to brown
