Haplotype variability and identification of new functional alleles at the Rdg2a leaf stripe resistance gene locus
The barley Rdg2a locus confers resistance to the leaf stripe pathogen Pyrenophora graminea and, in the barley genotype Thibaut, it is composed of a gene family with three highly similar paralogs. Only one member ...

Inheritance of Fusarium wilt resistance introgressed from Solanum aethiopicum Gilo and Aculeatum groups into cultivated eggplant (S. melongena) and development of associated PCR-based markers
The two eggplant relatives Solanum aethiopicum gr. Gilo and Solanum aethiopicum gr. Aculeatum (=Solanum integrifolium) carry resistance to the fungal wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae, a...
