CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis of the tomato susceptibility gene PMR4 for resistance against powdery mildew

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background The development of CRISPR/Cas9 technology has facilitated targeted mutagenesis in an efficient and precise way. Previously, RNAi silencing of the susceptibility (S) gene P owdery M ildew R esistance 4 (PMR4) in tomato has been shown to enhance

Accelerating plant breeding

Trends in Plant Science, 2013
The growing demand for food with limited arable land available necessitates that the yield of major food crops continues to increase over time. Advances in marker technology, predictive statistics, and breeding methodology have allowed for continued increases in crop performance through genetic improvement.

Comparative Subsequence Sets Analysis (CoSSA) is a robust approach to identify haplotype specific SNPs; mapping and pedigree analysis of a potato wart disease resistance gene Sen3

Plant Methods, 2019
Background Standard strategies to identify genomic regions involved in a specific trait variation are often limited by time and resource consuming genotyping methods.

Transcriptome analysis of Gerbera hybrid: including in silico confirmation of defence genes found

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
For the ornamental crop Gerbera hybrida, breeding at the moment is done using conventional methods. As this has drawbacks in breeding speed and efficiency, especially for complex traits like disease resistance, we set out to develop genomic resources ...

Transcriptome profiling at osmotic and ionic phases of salt stress response in bread wheat uncovers trait-specific candidate genes

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Bread wheat is one of the most important crops for the human diet, but the increasing soil salinization is causing yield reductions worldwide.

Extracting knowledge networks from plant scientific literature: potato tuber flesh color as an exemplary trait

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Scientific literature carries a wealth of information crucial for research, but only a fraction of it is present as structured information in databases and therefore can be analyzed using traditional data analysis tools.

Drought Stress Interacts With Powdery Mildew Infection in Tomato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Under field conditions, plants are often exposed to more than one stress factor at the same time, and therefore need to adapt to different combinations of stresses.

Population dynamics of the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus Dahlb. and two-year investigations into the occurrence of Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) in crops of winter barley located in the Middle German Dry Region, Germany

Plant Protection Science, 2002
From 2000 to 2001 the population dynamics of Psammotettix alienus Dahlb. were recorded using a sweep-net or a biocoenometer. The investigations were carried out in Zscherben near Halle (Middle German Dry Region). The imagines of the first generation of P.
