The Effect of Silicon on the Growth Traits and Resistance of Zinnia (Zinnia elegans Jacq.) to Powdery Mildew Disease
To investigate the effects of silicon on the growth characteristics and the reduction of the powdery mildew damage to Zinnia (Zinnia elegans Jacq. ʻMagellanʼ), an experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment in the form of a randomized complete block design with two factors including eight treatments and three replications. The first factor included silicon concentrations at four levels...
متن کاملHydroponically Produced Mini-cucucmber with Improved Powdery Mildew Resistance
Additional Index Words. Cucumis sativus L., greenhouse, protected culture, beit alpha cucumber Abstract. The Beit Alpha (BA) cucumber is a new commodity for the Florida greenhouse industry. In past trials, BA cultivar production and quality were compared to traditional ‘Dutch’ or European cucumber cultivars. The cv. Sarig, a BA-type, produced three times more yield than the Dutch-type cv. Kalun...
متن کاملGenome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of the MLO gene family in Cucumis sativus.
Mildew resistance locus o (MLO) is a plant-specific seven-transmembrane (TM) gene family. Several studies have revealed that certain members of the MLO gene family mediate powdery mildew susceptibility in three plant species, namely, Arabidopsis, barley, and tomato. The sequenced cucumber genome provides an opportunity to conduct a comprehensive overview of the MLO gene family. Fourteen genes (...
متن کاملInduced Resistance to Powdery Mildew by 2,6-Dichloroisonicotinic Acid is Associated with Activation of Active Oxygen Species-mediated Enzymes in Cucumber Plants
Powdery mildew infection in cucumber plants was significantly reduced by foliar application of 2,6dichloroisonicotinic acid (INA). Although the overall isozyme banding patterns of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) were very similar, there were differences in the densities of major bands between the leaves of control and INA-applied plants. When plants were subjected to foliar appl...
متن کاملEfficiency of resistance genes in wheat to powdery mildew in some centers of disease incidence in Iran
Wheat powdery mildew caused by fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici is a destructive wheat disease, occurring in regions with cool and humid climates. In order to investigate the changes in pathogenicity of the disease and to identify the effective genetic source of resistance, a total of 29 wheat genotypes with different resistance major genes (Pm) were studied in two hotspots of Go...
