First Report of Leaf Blotch Caused by Parastagonospora nodorum on Leymus chinensis (Chinese Rye Grass) in China

Inheritance of Resistance to Stagonospora nodorum Leaf Blotch in Kansas Winter Wheat Cultivars

Stagonospora nodorum blotch, caused by Stagonospora nodorum (Berk.) Castellani & E.G. Germano (= Septoria nodorum (Berk.) Berk. in Berk. & Broome, teleomorph: Phaeosphaeria nodorum (E. Müller) Hedjaroude) can cause serious yield and quality losses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in many countries worldwide (3,14,20). Yield losses caused by this disease have been reported as high as 40% in sever...

NEPHROPATHY CAUSED BY CHINESE HERBS IN IRAN

New quantitative trait loci in wheat for flag leaf resistance to Stagonospora nodorum blotch.

Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB) is a significant disease in some wheat-growing regions of the world. Resistance in wheat to Stagonospora nodorum is complex, whereby genes for seedling, flag leaf, and glume resistance are independent. The aims of this study were to identify alternative genes for flag leaf resistance, to compare and contrast with known quantitative trait loci (QTL) for SNB resi...

Effects of Grazing and Mowing on Leymus Chinensis Grassland in the Songnen Plain of Northeastern China

Effects of mowing and grazing on a Leymus chinensis grassland in the Songnen plain of northeastern China were studied using eight replicates of four grazing and mowing treatments. Canopy cover and biomass of the dominant species (L. chinensis) were lower, and cover of the halophyte Suaeda corniculata higher, on grazed than ungrazed; ungrazed plots showed a response to mowing, but not grazing; s...

Transcriptome Analysis in Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis): A Dominant Perennial Grass of the Eurasian Steppe

BACKGROUND Sheepgrass [Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel.] is an important perennial forage grass across the Eurasian Steppe and is known for its adaptability to various environmental conditions. However, insufficient data resources in public databases for sheepgrass limited our understanding of the mechanism of environmental adaptations, gene discovery and molecular marker development.
