Effect of thermotherapy, Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli titres, sugarcane genotype and diagnostic techniques on ratoon stunt control in Brazil. [PDF]
Abstract Aims To examine the interaction of diagnostic techniques, initial titres of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), sugarcane genotype and thermotherapy on ratoon stunt (RSD) control. Methods and Results Single buds of RB867515, RB92579 and RB966928 were submitted to 50°C/2 h or 52°C/30 min under factorial block design and five replications; results

Early selection for drought tolerance in popcorn based on gene effects estimated in seedlings [PDF]
Low rainfall rates are becoming increasingly frequent because of climate change, causing droughts and threatening world food security. For popcorn, drought is the most limiting abiotic factor for plant’s growth and development.

Revealing the differential protein profiles behind the nitrogen use efficiency in popcorn (Zea mays var. everta) [PDF]
We investigated the proteomic profiles of two popcorn inbred lines, P2 (N-efficient and N-responsive) and L80 (N-inefficient and nonresponsive to N), under low (10% of N supply) and high (100% of N supply) nitrogen environments, associated with agronomic-

Review: Holistic pest management against early blight disease towards sustainable agriculture. [PDF]
Environmental, biological, genetic, chemical and management factors that interact in pathogen systems with Alternaria spp. Abstract Alternaria species are well‐known aggressive pathogens that are widespread globally and warmer temperatures caused by climate change might increase their abundance more drastically. Early blight (EB) disease, caused mainly
