Diversity in Betasatellites Associated with Cotton Leaf Curl Disease During Source-To-Sink Movement Through a Resistant Host
Cotton leaf curl is devastating disease of cotton characterized by leaf curling, vein darkening and enations. The disease symptoms are induced by DNA satellite known as Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMuB), ...
Gene Flow as a Source of Adaptation of Durum Wheat to Changing Conditions Including Climate Change: Double Gradient Selection Technique
Fluctuating environments are recurring scenarios in dryland agriculture with detri- mental effects to crop production such as durum wheat crop that could lead to losses in yield. The dryland Mediterranean type of environment ...
First Report of Chilli leaf curl virus and Associated Alpha- and Beta-satellite DNAs Infecting Nettle Weed (Urtica dioica) in Pakistan
Weeds act as reservoirs of begomoviruses and ‘‘mixing vessels’’ leading to emergence of new viruses that may infect crops once a susceptible host plant is introduced into an agro-ecological system. Owing to the importance ...
High yielding wheat varieties with heat and drought tolerance
Wheat is an important food crop globally is facing serious threats from impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures, recurring droughts and floods, and emergence of new pests and diseases like stripe rust, yellow ...
Assessing Plant Genetic Resources for Climate- Change Adaptive Traits Heat Traits
The vulnerability of wheat is likely to increase due to an increase of heat stress
according to recent wheat-production simulation models combined with local
climate-change data. This is particularly an issue affecting ...
Evaluation of the severity and tolerance of a collection of durum wheat to root rot assessment
National production of durum wheat falls short of its potential, and
By controlling its major diseases, including root rot. These
latest induced by Fusarium culmorum and Cochliobolus sativus, see their
Severity worsen wi ...
Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Cultivated Cotton (Gossypium spp.) Using Tobacco Rattle Virus.
The study described here has optimized the conditions for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in three cultivated cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G. herbaceum) using a Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) vector. ...
