Candidate Defense Genes as Predictors of Quantitative Blast Resistance in Rice

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2004
Although quantitative trait loci (QTL) underpin many desirable agronomic traits, their incorporation into crop plants through marker-assisted selection is limited by the low predictive value of markers on phenotypic performance.

Forage Biomass and Chemical Composition of Buffelgrass Genotypes in the Semi‐Arid Region of Brazil

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
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 ...

Functional Analysis of Lipid Metabolism in Magnaporthe grisea Reveals a Requirement for Peroxisomal Fatty Acid β-Oxidation During Appressorium-Mediated Plant Infection

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea infects plants by means of specialized infection structures known as appressoria. Turgor generated in the appressorium provides the invasive force that allows the fungus to breach the leaf cuticle with a narrow ...

Complementation of the Magnaporthe grisea ΔcpkA Mutation by the Blumeria graminis PKA-c Gene: Functional Genetic Analysis of an Obligate Plant Pathogen

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
Obligate plant-pathogenic fungi have proved extremely difficult to characterize with molecular genetics because they cannot be cultured away from host plants and only can be manipulated experimentally in limited circumstances.

A whole‐genome assembly of St. Augustinegrass and visualizing diversity within the species

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
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.

Molecular Detection of Exserohilum turcicum in Maize Seeds: Validation of Specific Primers and Development of PCR/qPCR Protocols

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
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 ...
