Massive Shift in Gene Expression during Transitions between Developmental Stages of the Gall Midge, Mayetiola Destructor
Mayetiola destructor is a destructive pest of wheat and has six developmental stages. Molecular mechanisms controlling the transition between developmental stages remain unknown. Here we analyzed genes that were expressed ...
RNA Interference based Approach to Down Regulate Osmoregulators of Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci): Potential Technology for the Control of Whitefly
Over the past decade RNA interference (RNAi) technology has emerged as a successful tool not only for functional genomics, but in planta expression of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that could offer great potential for ...
Two small secreted proteins from Puccinia triticina induce reduction of ß-glucoronidase transient expression in wheat isolines containing Lr9, Lr24 and Lr26
Little is known about the molecular interaction of wheat and leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks). However, genomic tools are now becoming available so that the host-pathogen interactions can be better understood. Significant ...
Resistance gene analogs associated with Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive diseases in wheat. Identification of resistance gene analogs (RGAs) may provide candidate genes for cloning of FHB resistance genes and molecular markers for ...
Fast-forward genetics by radiation hybrids to saturate the locus regulating nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in Triticum
The nuclear-encoded species cytoplasm specific (scs) genes control nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in wheat (genus Triticum). Alloplasmic cells, which have nucleus and cytoplasm derived from different species, produce ...
Wheat genetic control of Hessian fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Morocco
Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), causes about 30% yield reduction on both durum wheat and bread wheat in Morocco. Major effort has been put on host plant resistance for control of this pest. Field and greenhouse ...
Development of COS-SNP and HRM markers for highthroughput and reliable haplotype-based detection of Lr14a in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.)
Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks. & Henn.) is a major disease affecting durum wheat production. The Lr14a-resistant gene present in the durum wheat cv. Creso and its derivative cv. Colosseo is one of the best characterized ...
International surveillance of wheat rust pathogens: progress and challenges
Surveillance of wheat rust pathogens, including assessments of rust incidence and virulence characterization via either trap plots or race (pathotype) surveys, has provided information fundamental in formulating and adopting ...
Amplicon-based RNA interference targeting V2 gene of cotton leaf curl kokhran virus- burewala strain can provide resistance in transgenic cotton plants
The conserved coat or V2 gene of begomoviruses is responsible for viral movement in the plant cells. RNAi technology was used to silence V2 gene for resistance against these viruses in transgenic plants. The transformation ...
Virulence of Puccinia triticina in Turkey and leaf rust resistance in Turkish wheat cultivars
Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina is a common disease on wheat in the coastal regions of Turkey. Collections of P. triticina from infected wheat leaves were obtained from the main wheat production zones of Turkey in ...
