Tomato resistance to Alternaria stem canker: localization in host genotypes and functional expression compared to non-host resistance [PDF]

, 1989
The Alternaria stem canker resistance locus (Asc-locus), involved in resistance to the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici and in insensitivity to host-specific toxins (AAL-toxins) produced by the pathogen, was genetically mapped on ...

Evaluation of African-Bred Maize Germplasm Lines for Resistance to Aflatoxin Accumulation

Agronomy, 2016
Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, contaminate maize grain and threaten human food and feed safety. Plant resistance is considered the best strategy for reducing aflatoxin accumulation. Six maize germplasm lines, TZAR101–TZAR106, were

A major QTL corresponding to the Rk locus for resistance to root-knot nematodes in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.). [PDF]

, 2016
Key messageGenome resolution of a major QTL associated with the Rk locus in cowpea for resistance to root-knot nematodes has significance for plant breeding programs and R gene characterization. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.

Characterization of Lr46, a gene conferring partial resistance to wheat leaf rust [PDF]

, 2001
Components of resistance conferred by the Lr46 gene, reported as causing "slow rusting" resistance to leaf rust in wheat, were studied and compared with the effects of Lr34 and genes for quantitative resistance in cv. Akabozu. Lr34 is a gene that confers

Evaluating rice for salinity using pot-culture provides a systematic tolerance assessment at the seedling stage

Rice, 2019
Background Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the major staple food crops consumed globally. However, rice production is severely affected by high salinity levels, particularly at the seedling stage. A good solution would be the development of an efficient

Genetic Variability Assessment of Tropical Indica Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Seedlings for Drought Stress Tolerance

Plants, 2022
Drought stress is one of the most devastating abiotic factors limiting plant growth and development. Devising an efficient and rapid screening method at the seedling stage is vital in identifying genotypes best suited under drought conditions.

The Rice Endophyte-Derived α-Mannosidase ShAM1 Degrades Host Cell Walls To Activate DAMP-Triggered Immunity against Disease

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Endophytes play an important role in shaping plant growth and immunity. However, the mechanisms for endophyte-induced disease resistance in host plants remain unclear.

Reversal of an immunity associated plant cell death program by the growth regulator auxin [PDF]

, 2007
One form of plant immunity against pathogens involves a rapid host programmed cell death at the site of infection accompanied by resistance, termed the hypersensitive response (HR).

PAST: The Pathway Association Studies Tool to Infer Biological Meaning from GWAS Datasets

Plants, 2020
In recent years, a bioinformatics method for interpreting genome-wide association study (GWAS) data using metabolic pathway analysis has been developed and successfully used to find significant pathways and mechanisms explaining phenotypic traits of ...
