Inheritance of resistance to the pea aphid in alfalfa hybrids

Inheritance of Resistance to Pratylenchus penetrans in Alfalfa.

Fifty-two alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) clones, randomly selected from the cultivar Baker and the experimental line MNGRN-4, were evaluated for resistance (based on nematode reproduction) to Pratylenchus penetrans in growth chamber tests (25 C). Twenty-five clones, representing the range of nematodes and eggs per plant, were selected and retested. Four moderately resistant and two susceptible al...

Pea Aphid

Characterization of pea aphid resistance in Medicago truncatula.

To achieve a thorough understanding of plant-aphid interactions, it is necessary to investigate in detail both the plant and insect side of the interaction. The pea aphid (PA; Acyrthosiphon pisum) has been selected by an international consortium as the model species for genetics and genomics studies, and the model legume Medicago truncatula is a host of this aphid. In this study, we identified ...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Apigenin Glycosides and Their Effect on the Pea Aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum)

Flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites found in most families. They are known to have important physiological functions in plants by protecting them against biotic stresses. Liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the flavonoid profiles, especially apigenin glycosides, their total concentration, as well as changes in the amount of six flavones found in the aerial parts of al...
