Resistant or Susceptible? How Central European Oat ( L.) Cultivars React to f. sp. Infection.

In accordance with the postulates of integrated plant protection, the use of cultivars with genetically determined resistance is one of the main strategies for preventing losses caused by fungal pathogens. The development of breeding programs aimed at increasing resistance to pathogens should be preceded by a characterization of the resistance of cultivars grown in a given area. This allows us to determine the number of genes used in breeding and their effectiveness.

Genetic mapping of the powdery mildew resistance gene Pm7 on oat chromosome 5D.

Three independent experiments with different genetic backgrounds mapped the resistance gene Pm7 in the oat genome to the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 5D. Resistance of oat to Blumeria graminis DC. f.

Chromosomal Location of -A Novel Powdery Mildew Resistance Gene from .

Identification of new, effective disease resistance genes is a very important aspect of plant breeding. Also important is the precise location of individual loci and tagging them with DNA markers for marker assisted selection. The aim of the present study was identification of the molecular markers linked with , a new effective resistance gene to powdery mildew, and their location in the oat genome.

Virulence Structure and Genetic Diversity of f. sp. from Different Regions of Europe.

The structure and dynamics of changes in pathogen populations can be analysed by assessing the level of virulence and genetic diversity. The aim of the present study was to determine the diversity of f. sp.

Chemical Characteristics and Antioxidant Activity of L. Spreng. at the Southern Border of the Geographical Range of the Species in Europe.

The bearberry ( L. Spreng.) is a source of herbal material-bearberry leaf (), which is highly valued and sought by pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Genetic Similarity of L. Varieties as an Example of a Narrow Genetic Pool of Contemporary Cereal Species.

The assessment of the genetic diversity of cultivated varieties is a very important element of breeding programs. This allows the determination of the level of genetic differentiation of cultivated varieties, their genetic distinctiveness, and is also of great importance in the selection of parental components for crossbreeding. The aim of the present study was to determine the level of genetic diversity of oat varieties currently grown in Central Europe based on two marker systems: ISSR and SCoT.

Molecular and physical characterization of grain hardness in European spring common wheat ( L.).

Unlabelled: Grain hardness is the single most important trait in determining technological properties and end-use quality of wheat product. This trait is controlled by two genes ( and ) at the Hardness () locus. Soft endosperm kernels are characterized by the presence of alleles 'a' in both genes ( and ), while the medium hard and hard grain is the result of deletion in the  gene or single mutation of the  gene.

Virulence Structure of Blumeria graminis f. sp. avenae Populations in Poland across 2014-2015.

The purpose of this study was to determine the virulence structure of oat powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. avenae, Bga) populations in Poland collected in 2014 and 2015.

Is Every Wild Species a Rich Source of Disease Resistance? L.-Potential Donor of Resistance to Powdery Mildew.

Identifying effective sources of disease resistance is an important aspect of an effective plant protection strategy. Wild species related to cultivars constitute a rich reservoir of resistance genes. Studies conducted in oat have shown that wild species are donors of resistance genes to crown and stem rust, powdery mildew or fusarium head blight.

Molecular identification and chromosomal localization of new powdery mildew resistance gene Pm11 in oat.

The appropriate selection of various traits in valuable plants is very important for modern plant breeding. Effective resistance to fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew, is an example of such a trait in oats. Marker-assisted selection is an important tool that reduces the time and cost of selection.

Avena sterilis L. Genotypes as a Potential Source of Resistance to Oat Powdery Mildew.

The aim of the present study was to identify Avena sterilis genotypes demonstrating a high level of resistance against oat powdery mildew, using host-pathogen tests. The study was conducted on 350 A. sterilis genotypes from different parts of the world.

Resistance to Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae in Avena magna, A. murphyi, and A. insularis.

Wild oat tetraploids of the section Pachycarpa have already been proven to be a rich source of useful genes but have largely been unexploited for Puccinia coronata resistance. In this study, accessions of Avena magna, A. murphyi, and A.
