Pathogenicity associated genes in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 4
South African Journal of Science, 2013 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is a fungus that infects banana roots and causes a destructive plant disease called Fusarium wilt. Foc consists of three pathogenic races (Foc races 1, 2 and 4), classified according to their selective impairment ...

Combining genetic and genomics approaches for fiber quality improvement in tetraploid cotton [PDF]
, 2011 Cotton fibers are the premier natural fibers for textile production. The two tetraploid species, Gossypium barbadense and G. hirsutum, differ significantly in their fiber properties, the former having much longer, finer and stronger fibers.

Eggplant and related species are promising genetic resources to dissect the plant immune response to Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and to identify new resistance determinants [PDF]
, 2014 The apparent lack of durability of many resistance (R) genes highlights the need for the constant identification of new genetic sources of resistance for the breeding of new disease-resistant crop cultivars.

Downstream targets of the Phytophthora infestans Gα subunit PiGPA1 revealed by cDNA‐AFLP
Molecular Plant Pathology, 2004 SUMMARY In many plant pathogens heterotrimeric G‐proteins are essential signalling components involved in development and pathogenicity. In the late blight oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans the G‐protein α subunit PiGPA1 controls zoospore motility and is required for ...
