New plant breeding techniques. State-of-the-art and prospects for commercial development [PDF]
Harmonised EU legislation regulating organisms produced by modern bio-techniques (GMOs) goes back to the year 1990 and the definition of GMOs was not up-dated since. During the last decade new plant-breeding techniques have been developed. The Institute

Integration of biotechnologies for rubber tree improvement. What about rootstock clones ?
Breeding and dissemination of planting material for rubber plantations are closely linked to propagation methods. Since the progress made by shifting from multiplication by seed to propagation by budding, the development of new techniques, such as ...

Welcome Pathogens: Transient Heat Dampens Immune Responses to Acibenzolar‐S‐Methyl in Apple Plants
ABSTRACT Climate change affects plant‐pathogen interactions, with disease outcome varying depending on the pathosystem and environmental scenario. In Arabidopsis, a thermo‐sensitive module of salicylic acid (SA) signalling makes immunity vulnerable to heat.

Evidence of Graft Incompatibility and Rootstock Scion Interactions in Cacao
This study sought to quantify and characterize diverse rootstock scion interactions in cacao around graft compatibility, disease resistance, nutrient use efficiency, vigor traits, and translocation of nonstructural carbohydrates. In total, 106 grafts were performed with three scion cultivars (Matina 1/6, Criollo 22, Pound 7) and nine diverse open ...

First European leaf-feeding grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch) survey in Swiss and German commercial vineyards [PDF]
Recent observations report the worldwide incidence of leaf-feeding grape phylloxera in formerly resistant scions of commercial vineyards. To analyze the genetic structure of leaf-feeding phylloxera, we performed an extensive sampling of leaf-feeding ...
