Rhizosphere microorganisms play pivotal roles in mitigating the challenges associated with continuous cropping in melon cultivation. While grafting and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) independently influence rhizosphere microbial communities,

Deciphering plant-pathogen communication: fresh perspectives for molecular resistance breeding
Activation of local and systemic plant defences in response to pathogen attack involves dramatic cellular reprogramming. Over the past 10 years many novel genes, proteins and molecules have been discovered as a result of investigating plant-pathogen ...

Evaluation and Mapping of a Leaf Rust Resistance Gene Derived from Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum
Studies of marker development were performed on a doubled haploid population derived from the cross of a highly resistant line H. spontaneum 677 × Krona (susceptible).

Cadmium (Cd) in agricultural soils readily accumulates in crop grains and shoots, posing serious risks to food and feed safety, especially in maize (Zea mays L.). Natural resistance-associated macrophage proteins (NRAMPs) constitute a key family of metal

Search for partial resistance to leaf rust in a collection of ancient Spanish wheats
A collection of 917 accessions of Spanish durum and bread wheat was screened for resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) under field conditions at three locations.

Turning the heat up on independent culling in crop breeding
Most grain crops are sensitive to heat stress during anthesis which causes substantial reductions in grain yield, and heat stress tolerance (HST) is therefore an important trait for selection in crop breeding programmes during the 21st century.

Male sterile 44 confers dominant male sterility in maize by disrupting lipid metabolism pathways
Dominant genic male sterility (DGMS) is a valuable trait for harnessing heterosis in hybrid breeding of industrial crops, yet its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Marker-assisted breeding for disease resistance in potato.
International audienceSub-project 5 of BIOEXPLOIT aims to design durable disease resistance through marker-assisted breeding by converting existing markers for high-throughput application, developing and validating high-throughput marker technologies and
