tents reduces yield, while feeding scars and holes on testa reduce the quality and marketability of pea seed. The pea weevil, Bruchus pisorum (L.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), is In addition, weevil-damaged seed has lower germination one of the most intractable pest problems of cultivated pea, Pisum sativum L. The availability of resistant cultivars would give growers rates and is prone to structur...

Pea enation mosaic virus (PEMV) is an important virus disease of pea. International movement of commercial pea cultivars and germplasm can be problematic due to uncertainty about seed transmission of the viruses responsible for the disease. Whether PEMV is seedborne was assessed by collecting developing seed from infected plants and determining the relative concentrations of the PEMV-1 and PEMV...

The pulses are belongs to the family Fabaceae which is also known as food legumes. Pulses are second important group of the crops after cereals. Pulses are the most important crops of Indian Agriculture. The member of Fabaceae family includes the economically important legume like pulses, oil seed, forage and fodder crops and also shrubs and tropical or subtropical trees. These pulses are chick...

Ascochyta blight, an infection caused by a complex of Ascochyta pinodes, Ascochyta pinodella, Ascochyta pisi, and/or Phoma koolunga, is a destructive disease in many field peas (Pisum sativum L.)-growing regions, and it causes significant losses in grain yield. To understand the composition of fungi associated with this disease in Zhejiang Province, China, a total of 65 single-pycnidiospore fun...

A series of poly(esteramine)s (PEAs) constructed from low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (LPEI) and Pluronic were evaluated for the delivery of antisense oligonuclotides (AOs), 2'-O-methyl phosphorothioate RNA (2'-OMePS) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) in cell culture and dystrophic mdx mice. Improved exon-skipping efficiency of both 2'-OMePS and PMO was observed in the C2C...

Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) and wheat (Triticum sativum L.) were either sole cropped or intercropped in a complete design of five relative proportions and five density levels to determine the effects of interspecific interaction in an intercrop on wheat baking quality. It is shown how pea interspecific competitive ability for factors such as light and water results in an increase in wheat prot...
