Resistance in wheat to maize streak virus

Inducible Resistance to Maize Streak Virus

Maize streak virus (MSV), which causes maize streak disease (MSD), is the major viral pathogenic constraint on maize production in Africa. Type member of the Mastrevirus genus in the family Geminiviridae, MSV has a 2.7 kb, single-stranded circular DNA genome encoding a coat protein, movement protein, and the two replication-associated proteins Rep and RepA. While we have previously developed MS...

The Effect of High Temperature Treatment on Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus Resistance and Certain Resistance-Related Chemicals in Bread Wheat

Background and Aims: To evaluate the effect of temperature on wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) resistance phenotype, through total protein, phenol, and peroxidase activity in bread wheat, a factorial experiment was conducted using Adl-Cross (resistant) and Marvdasht (susceptible) cultivars. Materials and Methods: Results showed that incubation at 32C changed the gene expression for resistance ...

A Dominant Gene for Resistance to Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus in Winter Wheat Line CO960293-2

Wheat streak mosaic (WSM), caused by Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), is a devastating disease in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Great Plains of North America. Use of resistance is an effective and environmentally sound method to control the disease. In this study, six wheat genotypes were compared for their responses to WSMV infection under growth chamber conditions. The three resistant ...

Reconstructing the history of Maize streak virus

64 65 Maize streak virus (MSV) strain A, the causal agent of Maize streak disease is 66 today one of the most serious biotic threats to African food security. Determining 67 where MSV-A originated and how it spread trans-continentally could yield 68 valuable insights into its historical emergence as a crop pathogen. Similarly, 69 determining where the major extant MSV-A lineages arose could ide...
