Efficiency of leaf rust resistance genes in Martonvásár

Plant Protection Science, 2002
The efficiency of leaf rust resistance genes in adult plants was studied on near-isogenic lines of Thatcher carrying known leaf rust resistance genes in the artificially inoculated leaf rust nursery of the Agricultural Research Institute of the Hungarian

Breeding maize (Zea mays) for Striga resistance: Past, current and prospects in sub‐saharan africa

Plant breeding = Zeitschrift fur Pflanzenzuchtung, 2021
Striga hermonthica, causes up to 100% yield loss in maize production in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Developing Striga‐resistant maize cultivars could be a major component of integrated Striga management strategies. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of

Insights to plant-microbe interactions provide opportunities to improve resistance breeding against root diseases in grain legumes.

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2018
Root and foot diseases severely impede grain legume cultivation worldwide. Breeding lines with resistance against individual pathogens exist, but these resistances are often overcome by the interaction of multiple pathogens in field situations.

Genetic dissection of maize disease resistance and its applications in molecular breeding

Molecular breeding, 2021
Disease resistance is essential for reliable maize production. In a long-term tug-of-war between maize and its pathogenic microbes, naturally occurring resistance genes gradually accumulate and play a key role in protecting maize from various destructive

9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 1 confers heat stress tolerance in rice seedling plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
High temperature is one of the main constraints affecting plant growth and development. It has been reported that abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis gene 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) positively regulates plant resistance to salt, cold, and drought

Whole-Genome Duplication and Purifying Selection Contributes to the Functional Redundancy of Auxin Response Factor (ARF) Genes in Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L.)

International Journal of Genomics, 2021
Auxin response factors (ARFs) play crucial roles in auxin-mediated response, whereas molecular genetics of ARF genes was seldom investigated in Setaria italica, an important crop and C4 model plant. In the present study, genome-wide evolutionary analysis

Rice cellulose synthase-like protein OsCSLD4 coordinates the trade-off between plant growth and defense

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plant cell wall is a complex and changeable structure, which is very important for plant growth and development. It is clear that cell wall polysaccharide synthases have critical functions in rice growth and abiotic stress, yet their role in plant ...

Resistance Breeding in Apple at Dresden-Pillnitz [PDF]

, 2008
Resistance breeding in apple has a long tradition at the Institute of Fruit Breeding now Julius Kuehn-institute in Dresden-Pillnitz. The breeding was aimed at the production of multiple resistance cultivars to allow a more sustainable and environmentally

Some Observations on Insecticide Resistance [PDF]

, 2017
A model for development of resistance to an insecticide in an insect population is presented. The rate of development of resistance increased with increases in the proportion of the breeding population exposed to the insecticide and with increases in the
