Genome-Wide QTL Mapping for Stripe Rust Resistance in Winter Wheat Pindong 34 Using a 90K SNP Array.

Winter wheat cultivar Pindong 34 has both adult-plant resistance (APR) and all-stage resistance (ASR) to stripe rust, which is caused by f. sp. ().

Yield Losses Associated with Different Levels of Stripe Rust Resistance of Commercial Wheat Cultivars in China.

Wheat stripe rust is one of the most destructive diseases to affect wheat. Although the major resistant wheat varieties have made a great contribution to global food security, yield losses from stripe rust still occur in large wheat growing areas when climatic conditions are unstable. Despite this threat, resistance levels and yield losses of these elite wheat cultivars under wheat stripe rust infection have not been well studied.

Proteomic Analysis of -Induced Mechanism in Grafted Watermelon Seedlings.

Grafting can improve the resistance of watermelon to soil-borne diseases. However, the molecular mechanism of defense response is not completely understood. Herein, we used a proteomic approach to investigate the molecular basis involved in grafted watermelon leaf defense against f.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of Clpsk1 in watermelon to confer resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of Clpsk1 enhanced watermelon resistance to Fusarium oxysporum. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system has proven to be an effective genome-editing tool for crop improvement. Previous studies described that Phytosulfokine (PSK) signalling attenuates plant immune response.

Identification and Molecular Mapping of a Gummy Stem Blight Resistance Gene in Wild Watermelon () Germplasm PI 189225.

Gummy stem blight (GSB), caused by (syn. ), is a destructive foliar disease of watermelon in areas with hot and humid climates. The wild watermelon germplasm PI 189225 is a known source of resistance to GSB.

Rapid and Sensitive Detection of Didymella bryoniae by Visual Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay.

Didymella bryoniae is a pathogenic fungus that causes gummy stem blight (GSB) in Cucurbitaceae crops (e.g., cantaloupe, muskmelon, cucumber, and watermelon).

Construction of a high-density DArTseq SNP-based genetic map and identification of genomic regions with segregation distortion in a genetic population derived from a cross between feral and cultivated-type watermelon.

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] is an economically important vegetable crop grown extensively worldwide.
