Survey of Candidate Genes for Maize Resistance to Infection by Aspergillus flavus and/or Aflatoxin Contamination

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Many projects have identified candidate genes for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation or Aspergillus flavus infection and growth in maize using genetic mapping, genomics, transcriptomics and/or proteomics studies.

Development and validation of diagnostic SNP markers for quality control genotyping in a collection of four rice (Oryza) species

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Morphological identification of closely related rice species, particularly those in the Oryza AA genome group, presents major challenges and often results in cases of misidentification.

Cereal Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and Winter Wheat: Host Plant Resistance Relationships [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The cereal leaf beetle was introduced into North America from Europe prior to 1960. An overview of the control of the insect in North America is presented with major emphasis on host plant resistance.

Aflatoxin Accumulation in a Maize Diallel Cross

open access: yesAgriculture, 2015
Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, occur naturally in maize. Contamination of maize grain with aflatoxin is a major food and feed safety problem and greatly reduces the value of the grain.

Validated markers for sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) breeding

open access: yesOilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2020
Sunflower is native to North America and is now grown around the world for edible oil, seed roasting, confectionary products and bird food. Genetic diversity in cultivated and wild germplasm is characterized for use with various breeding objectives ...

A Split-Stem Lesion on Young Hybrid \u3ci\u3ePopulus\u3c/i\u3e Trees Caused by the Tarnished Plant Bug, \u3ci\u3eLygus Lineolaris\u3c/i\u3e (Hemiptera: [Heteroptera]: Miridae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The tarnished plant bug, known principally as an agricultural pest, injures young hybrid Populus by feeding on the stems and meristems. Tarnished plant bug eggs, fungi associated with some lesions, and simple mechanical stimuli alone from feeding ...

Comparison of Two Inoculation Methods for Evaluating Maize for Resistance to Aspergillus flavus Infection and Aflatoxin Accumulation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agronomy, 2013
Aflatoxin, the most potent carcinogen found in nature, is produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus and occurs naturally in maize, Zea mays L. Growing maize hybrids with genetic resistance to aflatoxin contamination are generally considered a highly ...

Identification and Quantification of a Toxigenic and Non-Toxigenic Aspergillus flavus Strain in Contaminated Maize Using Quantitative Real-Time PCR

open access: yesToxins, 2016
Aflatoxins, which are produced by Aspergillus flavus, are toxic to humans, livestock, and pets. The value of maize (Zea mays) grain is markedly reduced when contaminated with aflatoxin.

A spotlight on non-host resistance to plant viruses [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2022
Plant viruses encounter a range of host defenses including non-host resistance (NHR), leading to the arrest of virus replication and movement in plants. Viruses have limited host ranges, and adaptation to a new host is an atypical phenomenon.

Sustainable deployment of QTLs conferring quantitative resistance to crops: first lessons from a stochastic model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Quantitative plant disease resistance is believed to be more durable than qualitative resistance, since it exerts less selective pressure on the pathogens.
