Forage Biomass and Chemical Composition of Buffelgrass Genotypes in the Semi‐Arid Region of Brazil
Forage improvement in semi‐arid regions requires the identification of genotypes capable of maintaining productivity under climatic variability and chronic water scarcity. This study evaluated six buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) genotypes over two production years in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, to characterize their agronomic, morphological, and ...

Although plant diseases are usually characterized by the part of the plant that is affected (e.g., leaf spots, root rots, wilts), surprisingly little is known about the factors that condition the ability of pathogens to colonize different plant tissues ...

Time for a blast: genomics of Magnaporthe grisea
Summary The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea causes one of the most destructive diseases of rice. Genetic studies of this important pathogen during the past decade have made it an excellent system for investigating fungal–plant interactions.

The genome sequence of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea [PDF]
Magnaporthe grisea is the most destructive pathogen of rice worldwide and the principal model organism for elucidating the molecular basis of fungal disease of plants. Here, we report the draft sequence of the M. grisea genome. Analysis of the gene set provides an insight into the adaptations required by a fungus to cause disease.

A whole‐genome assembly of St. Augustinegrass and visualizing diversity within the species
Abstract St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] is a warm‐season turfgrass species in the family Poaceae. This species is a popular choice for lawns in the Southern United States, due to its higher tolerance to shade, heat and humidity.

Disease resistance of transgenic rice by overexpressing OsiWRKY gene
To derermine its bioiogical function, we transformed OsiWRKY gene into rice. Southern blot and Northern blot analyses showed that the OsiWRKY gene had been integrated into rice genome and overexpressed in rice.

ABSTRACT Northern corn leaf blight, one of the most devastating diseases of maize (Zea mays), is caused by Exserohilum turcicum. This pathogen is widely distributed and can be found in maize fields across most regions of the world. The association of pathogens with seeds is considered a serious threat to the establishment of a field since seeds are ...

This study found that BDPH1 and BDEUL12 interact with Apctf1β. They regulate growth, development, and chemical stress response in Arthrinium phaeospermum, and are crucial for its pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Arthrinium phaeospermum is the primary pathogen responsible for shoot blight disease in Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis.
