Phakopsora euvitis Causes Unusual Damage to Leaves and Modifies Carbohydrate Metabolism in Grapevine

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Asian grapevine rust (Phakopsora euvitis) is a serious disease, which causes severe leaf necrosis and early plant defoliation. These symptoms are unusual for a strict biotrophic pathogen. This work was performed to quantify the effects of P.

Starch accumulation in duckweeds (lemnaceae) induced by nutrient deficiency

Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2022
The aim of the present project is to demonstrate the potential of duckweeds in fast production of starch-rich biomass that could render these plants as promising next generation crop plants. Starch-rich biomass can be produced by several methods of starch induction.

Post‐anthesis saline‐alkali stress inhibits grain filling by promoting ethylene production and signal transduction

Food and Energy Security, 2022
Saline‐alkali stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that severely affect rice yield. However, the mechanism by which saline‐alkali stress regulates grain filling in rice is still unclear. In this study, Oryza sativa L. spp.
