Evaluation of various methods for the detection of barley yellow dwarf virus by the tissue-blot immunoassay and its use for virus detection in cereals inoculated at different growth stages
Various modifications of the tissue-blot immunoassay (TBIA) for the detection of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV, luteovirus) were compared. Similar results were obtained by using three different labelled molecules; goat ...
Vulnerability of Barley to African Pathotypes of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici and Sources of Resistance
The emergence of widely virulent pathotypes (e.g., TTKSK in the Ug99 race group) of the stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici) in Africa threatens wheat production on a global scale. Although intensive research ...
Emergence rate as a potential indicator of crop salt-tolerance
The current study aims to examine the hypothesis that the determination of the emergence rate is a possible indicator of the plant potential to tolerate soil salinity under field conditions. This hypothesis is analysed ...
Characterization of seedling infection types and adult plant infection responses of monogenic Sr gene lines to race TTKS of Puccinia graminis f. sp tritici
Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, historically was one of the most destructive diseases of wheat and barley. The disease has been under effective control worldwide through the widespread use of host ...
Conservation characteristics and protein fractions of cereal silages ensiled with additives at the booting and dough stages of maturity
The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of organic acid and bacterial inoculant on conservation characteristics and protein fractions as defined by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System of barley, ...
Crop evapotranspiration — a technique for calculation of its components by field measurements
A simple technique is described whereby standard field measurements of crop evapotranspiration (ET), evaporation from an uncropped soil (ES), green area index (G), the crop extinction coefficient (K) and above ground dry ...
Efficiency of alpha-lattice designs in international variety yield trials of barley and wheat
Use of an alpha-lattice design in 714 international yield trials of barley, durum wheat and bread wheat in 1990/91 to 1992/93 resulted in an average efficiency 18% higher than the randomized complete block design when ...
A comparative analysis of nonhost resistance across the two Triticeae crop species wheat and barley
Background: Nonhost resistance (NHR) protects plants against a vast number of non-adapted pathogens which implicates a potential exploitation as source for novel disease resistance strategies. Aiming at a fundamental ...
Intercropping wheat and barley with N-fixing legume species: a method for improving ground cover, N-use efficiency and productivity in low input systems
Two cereal cropping systems are described which, through the introduction of a leguminous intercrop, increased productivity, nitrogen output and ground cover of the systems in the absence of added nitrogen fertilizer. ...
Salt Tolerance in the Triticeae: K/Na Discrimination in Barley
Concentrations of ions were measured in the youngest fully-expanded leaves of Triticum aestivum, T. durum, Hordeum vulgare, H. spontaneum, Secale cereale, and Aegilops squarrosa accessions grown in hydroponic culture in ...
