To achieve a thorough understanding of plant-aphid interactions, it is necessary to investigate in detail both the plant and insect side of the interaction. The pea aphid (PA; Acyrthosiphon pisum) has been selected by an international consortium as the model species for genetics and genomics studies, and the model legume Medicago truncatula is a host of this aphid. In this study, we identified resistance to PA in a M. truncatula line, 'Jester', with well-characterized resistance to a closely ...

The Membrane-Anchored BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE1 Plays Distinct Roles in Arabidopsis Resistance to Necrotrophic and Biotrophic Pathogens(W)
Plant Cell ; Plant resistance to disease is controlled by the combination of defense response pathways that are activated depending on the nature of the pathogen. We identified the Arabidopsis thaliana BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE1 (BIK1) gene that is transcriptionally regulated by Botrytis cinerea infection.
Inheritance of sugarcane borer resistance in sugarcane derived from two measures of insect damage.(Statistical Data Included)
Crop Science ; THE SUGARCANE BORER is historically the most important insect pest of sugarcane in Louisiana (Long, 1969). Larval borers damage cane by boring into cane stalks were they ultimately pupate and emerge as adults. Individual larvae generally stay within a single internode. Since 1969, damaging
Characterization and inheritance of adult plant stem rust resistance in durum wheat.
Crop Science ; The tetraploid wheat genome (2n = 28; AABB) has been a source of resistance genes to stem rust, including the eight designated genes (Sr2, Sr9d, Sr9e, Sr9g, Sr12, Sr13, Sr14, and Sr17) listed by Roelfs (1988). These genes were transferred from tetraploid to hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
The disease resistance signaling components EDS1 and PAD4 are essential regulators of the cell death pathway controlled by LSD1 in Arabidopsis
Plant Cell ; Specific recognition of pathogens is mediated by plant disease resistance (R) genes and translated into a successful defense response. The extent of associated hypersensitive cell death varies from none to an area encompassing cells surrounding an infection site, depending on the R gene activated.
Direct and indirect effects of full-sib recurrent selection for resistance to common rust (Puccinia sorghi Schw.) in three sweet corn populations.
Crop Science ; Common rust is a major pathogen of sweet corn in the north central USA, causing both yield and quality losses in late plantings in most years and widespread losses in years when severe epiphytotics occur (Groth et al., 1983b; Randle et al., 1984b; Pataky et al., 1988).
