Use of Ipm in the Control of Multiple Diseases in Maize: Strategies for Selection of Host Resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Maize (Zea mays) production in sub-Saharan Africa is constantly threatened by the potential outbreak of multiple foliar diseases such as maize streak, northern leaf blight, gray leaf spot, and rust. Improvement of host resistance to these diseases can provide an important component of integrated pest management (IPM). In this paper, conventional and molecular marker-assisted breeding approaches are reviewed and strategies for improvement of host resistance are presented. Pyramiding of quantitative resistance factors using molecular breeding techniques will be facilitated through cooperative research efforts and adoption of appropriate experimental designs.

Combining Ability among Twenty Insect Resistant Maize inbred lines Resistant to Chilo partellus and Busseola fusca Stem borers
A partial diallel design was used among 20 maize inbred lines to form 110 F1 hybrids to generate information on the values of these lines for developing insect resistant maize varieties during the short rains season of 2006. The hybrids were evaluated for resistance to the C. partellus and B. fusca, and for agronomic performance over two seasons during long and short rains of 2007 at a mid-alti...

A rapid DNA cloning system is a research interest of many scientists. TA cloning is one of the methods used for the cloning of PCR-amplified DNA molecules. The TA cloning method is a convenient and labor-saving replacement to traditional, restriction enzyme-mediated cloning strategies. A T-vector called pBlueskript ΙΙ SK-1 with the lethal gene ccdB was designed to construct a positive selection...
متن کاملP-24: DGC-HOST Method: An Approach for Selection of Normal Sperm during ICSI
Background: During ICSI, motile sperm with normal morphology are selected and injected into oocyte. But integrity of chromatin is not observable. Therefore, researchers are trying for to present novel method of sperm selection with high percentage of normal chromatin. HOST test is a useful assay of functional integrity of the human sperm membrane. We decide to use HOST test after DGC for infert...
