Biotechnological Approaches for Host Plant Resistance to Insect Pests [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Annually, the cost of insect pest control in agriculture crosses billions of dollars around the world. Until recently, broad-spectrum synthetic pesticides were considered as the most effective means of pest control in agriculture. However, over the years,

Mini Review: potential applications of nonhost resistance for crop improvement [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Plant breeding for disease resistance is crucial to sustain global crop production. For decades, plant breeders and researchers have extensively used host plant resistance genes (R-genes) to develop disease resistant cultivars.

Plant immunity in plant-aphid interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Aphids are economically important pests that cause extensive feeding damage and transmit viruses. While some species have a broad host range and cause damage to a variety of crops, others are restricted to only closely related plant species.

Characterization of a source of resistance to aflatoxin accumulation in maize
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2021 Aflatoxinproduced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus (Link:Fr) can accumulate in maize (Zea mays L.) and poses serious human health and economic concerns, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa. Genetic resistance against A.

Assessment of agro-morphological, physiological and yield traits diversity among tropical rice [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an essential staple food crop, but the per acre average rice yield is less than its substantial potential in many countries. Rice breeders and growers would benefit from a robust genotypes with better morpho-physiological and ...

Genes and genetic mechanisms contributing to fall armyworm resistance in maize
The Plant Genome, 2023 Maize (Zea mays L.) is a crop of major economic and food security importance globally. The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, can devastate entire maize crops, especially in countries or markets that do not allow the use of transgenic crops ...
