Mining the Vavilov wheat diversity panel for new sources of adult plant resistance to stripe rust.

Multi-year evaluation of the Vavilov wheat diversity panel identified new sources of adult plant resistance to stripe rust. Genome-wide association studies revealed the key genomic regions influencing resistance, including seven novel loci. Wheat stripe rust (YR) caused by Puccinia striiformis f.

SNPs associated with barley resistance to isolates of Pyrenophora teres f. teres.

Background: Net blotch caused by Pyrenophra teres f. teres is a major foliar disease of barley. Infection can result in significant yield losses of susceptible cultivars of up to 40%.

Identification of 50 K Illumina-chip SNPs associated with resistance to spot blotch in barley.

Background: Spot blotch, caused by Cochliobolus sativus, is one of the most widespread and harmful diseases in barley. Identification of genetic loci associated with resistance to C. sativus is of importance for future marker-assisted selection.

Euphresco Sendo: An international laboratory comparison study of molecular tests for detection and identification.

An international test performance study (TPS) was organised to generate validation data for three molecular tests: van den Boogert et al. ( 47-57, 2005), and van Gent-Pelzer et al. ( 129-133, 2010) for the detection of , and the pathotype 1(D1) identification test described by Bonants et al.

Unlocking new alleles for leaf rust resistance in the Vavilov wheat collection.

Thirteen potentially new leaf rust resistance loci were identified in a Vavilov wheat diversity panel. We demonstrated the potential of allele stacking to strengthen resistance against this important pathogen. Leaf rust (LR) caused by Puccinia triticina is an important disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

Mining Vavilov's Treasure Chest of Wheat Diversity for Adult Plant Resistance to Puccinia triticina.

Leaf rust (LR) caused by Puccinia triticina, is among the most important diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crops globally. Deployment of cultivars incorporating genetic resistance, such as adult plant resistance (APR) or all-stage resistance, is considered the most sustainable control method.

The spore wall and polar tube proteins of the microsporidian Nosema grylli: the major spore wall protein is released before spore extrusion.

Incubation of Nosema grylli spores in alkaline--saline solution (10 mM KOH, 170 mM KCl) leads to solubilization of the major spore wall protein of 40 kDa (p40). Both the compounds of this solution are crucial for p40 solubilization. After spore incubation in 170 mM KCl no proteins were released in the medium.

Analysis of antibodies raised against soluble and membrane bound proteins of Nosema grylli (Microspora) spores.

Microsporidia (M), representatives of the phylum Microspora, make a world-wide distributed group of intracellular protists, parasitic in the vast number of hosts, from Protozoa to Primates. In their morpho-functional organization, both very primitive and extremely specialized features are seen definitely combined. Data available on RNA and DNA sequences suggest that M may be the most ancient eukaryotes.
