Resistant to Fusarium Root Rot

Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol 2, No. 2, May 2008 137 Three F8–derived breeding lines, W6 26740 (RIL 846_34; GP-96, PI 652444), W6 26743 (RIL 846_40; GP-97, PI652445), and W6 26745 (RIL 847_36; GP-98, PI 652446), of green pea (Pisum sativum L.) were selected from a recombinant inbred line population developed by the USDA–ARS in 2000. These lines are unique in combining high levels of resis...

Brown Rot of Potato

Brown rot, also known as bacterial wilt, is one of the most destructive diseases of potato. The disease has been estimated to affect about 3.75 million acres in approximately 80 countries throughout the world with global damage estimates currently over $950 million per year. The disease is known to occur in the wet tropics, sub-tropics and some temperate regions of the world. In the United Stat...

Rice Sheath Rot: An Emerging Ubiquitous Destructive Disease Complex

Around one century ago, a rice disease characterized mainly by rotting of sheaths was reported in Taiwan. The causal agent was identified as Acrocylindrium oryzae, later known as Sarocladium oryzae. Since then it has become clear that various other organisms can cause similar disease symptoms, including Fusarium sp. and fluorescent pseudomonads. These organisms have in common that they produce ...

How the rot spreads

Here is a biology quiz. Please mark each statement as true (T), false (F) or absurd (A). An absurd statement is one that, in any biological context, has no meaning at all. 1. Ecologists refer to plants as ‘producers’ because plants provide humans with foods, medicines and other commercial goods. 2. A bird has no jawbones. 3. The term ‘genetic engineering’ means selective breeding. 4. The term ‘...
