Identification of Tomato Ve1 Homologous Proteins in Flax and Assessment for Race-Specific Resistance in Two Fiber FlaxCultivars against Race 1.

In the last decade, the soil borne fungal pathogen has had an increasingly strong effect on fiber flax ( L.), thus causing important yield losses in Normandy, France. Race-specific resistance against race 1 is determined by tomato Ve1, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like protein (RLP).

A Sensitive Assay for Rapid Detection and Quantification of Aphanomyces euteiches in Soil.

Aphanomyces euteiches is a widespread oomycete pathogen causing root rot in a wide range of leguminous crops. Losses can reach up to 100% for pea culture and there is currently no registered pesticide for its control. Crop management remains the most efficient tool to control root rot, and avoidance of infested soil seems to be the optimal solution.
