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 ...

Differential Expression of Signaling Pathway Genes Associated With Aflatoxin Reduction Quantitative Trait Loci in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The roles of signaling pathway genes related to the aflatoxin reduction trait in maize were studied for the improvement of maize resistance to the fungal pathogen Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus). In this study, 55 maize genes in plant–pathogen interaction

Low Aflatoxin Levels in Aspergillus flavus-Resistant Maize Are Correlated With Increased Corn Earworm Damage and Enhanced Seed Fumonisin

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Preharvest mycotoxin contamination of field-grown crops is influenced not only by the host genotype, but also by inoculum load, insect pressure and their confounding interactions with seasonal weather.

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.

Draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas moraviensis R28-S [PDF]

, 2014
We report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas moraviensis R28-S, isolated from the municipal wastewater treatment plant of Moscow, ID. The strain carries a native mercury resistance plasmid, poorly maintains introduced IncP-1 antibiotic resistance ...

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 integrated concept of disease resistance; a new view including horizontal and vertical resistance in plants [PDF]

, 1977
Horizontal, uniform, race-non-specific or stable resistance can be discerned according to Van der Plank, from vertical, differential, race-specific or unstable resistance by a test in which a number of host genotypes (cultivars or clones) are tested ...

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.
