Open AccessMarker-Assisted Introgression of the Salinity Tolerance Locus Saltol in Temperate Japonica Rice
Rice is one of the most salt sensitive crops at seedling, early vegetative and reproductive stages. Varieties with salinity tolerance at seedling stage promote an efficient growth at early stages in salt affec...

Open AccessGenome wide association studies for japonica rice resistance to blast in field and controlled conditions
Rice blast, caused by the fungus Pyricularia oryzae, represents the most damaging fungal disease of rice worldwide. Utilization of rice resistant cultivars represents a practical way to control the disease. Most ...

Open AccessIdentification of bakanae disease resistance loci in japonica rice through genome wide association study
Bakanae disease, caused by seed-borne Fusarium species, mainly F. fujikuroi, is a rice disease whose importance is considerably increasing in several rice growing countries, leading to...

Open AccessImprovement of marker-based predictability of Apparent Amylose Content in japonica rice through GBSSI allele mining
Apparent Amylose Content (AAC), regulated by the Waxy gene, represents the key determinant of rice cooking properties. In occidental countries high AAC rice represents the most requested market class but the avai...

An Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene silencing system for functional analysis in grapevine
An efficient agroinfiltration-based gene silencing assay was established to evaluate candidate genes likely to be involved in resistance to powdery mildew (Uncinula necator) in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). Func...

The CC-NB-LRR-type Rdg2a Resistance Gene Evolved Through Recombination and Confers Immunity to the Seed-Borne Barley Leaf Stripe Pathogen in the Absence of Hypersensitive Cell Death
Leaf stripe disease on barley is caused by the seed-transmitted hemi-biotrophic fungus Pyrenophora graminea. Race-specific resistance to leaf stripe is controlled by two known Rdg (resistance to Drechslera gramin...

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...

High expression level of a gene coding for a chloroplastic amino acid selective channel protein is correlated to cold acclimation in cereals
A cold-regulated gene (cor tmc-ap3) coding for a putative chloroplastic amino acid selective channel protein was isolated from cold-treated barley leaves combining the differential display and the 5′-RACE tech...
