Open AccessLarge-scale transcriptomics to dissect 2 years of the life of a fungal phytopathogen interacting with its host plant
The fungus Leptosphaeria maculans has an exceptionally long and complex relationship with its host plant, Brassica napus, during which it switches between different lifestyles, including asymptomatic, biotrophic,...

Development of 1AS.1AL-1DL durum wheat chromosome carrying Glu-D1a locus encoding high molecular weight glutenin subunits 2 + 12
High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) are well-known to directly influence the bread wheat quality. In a previous paper, our group reported the replacement of the locus Glu-A1 by the locus Glu-D1—allel...

Open AccessHypoxia response in Arabidopsis roots infected by Plasmodiophora brassicae supports the development of clubroot
The induction of alcohol fermentation in roots is a plant adaptive response to flooding stress and oxygen deprivation. Available transcriptomic data suggest that fermentation-related genes are also frequently ...

Homoeologous recombination within bread wheat to develop novel combinations of HMW-GS genes: transfer of the Glu-A1 locus to chromosome 1D
In an attempt to improve the bread-making quality within hexaploid wheat by elaborating novel high-molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) combinations useful in wheat-breeding programmes, a 1A chromosome ...

Marker-assisted pyramiding of two cereal cyst nematode resistance genes from Aegilops variabilis in wheat
The cereal cyst nematode (CCN) Heterodera avenae, is a significant pathogen of wheat. The wild grass Aegilops variabilis Accession No.1 has been found to be resistant to pathotypes of CCN; at least two genes tran...
