The activities of antioxidant enzymes and levels of antioxidants involved in oxygen detoxification were studied in seedlings of three indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, namely Panikekoa and T 1471 that show good capacity for anaerobic seedling establishment (tolerant reaction) and IR 42 which has a poor anaerobic seedling establishment capacity (susceptible reaction). The activities of th...

Commercial peanut cultivars were evaluated for host suitability and sensitivity to Ditylenchus destructor. All cultivars were susceptible. Approximately 94% of the final population were in the pods. Highest Pf occurred at harvest on early maturing cultivars. Damage occurred on four of six cuttivars at Pi = 100/3 liters of soil and all six cultivars at Pi = 1,000. Norden and Selmani were the mos...

in order to study the effect of salt stress at different growth stages on physiological characteristics and enzyme superoxide dismutas (sod) activity in wheat genotypes a green house experiment was conducted at the agricultural research greenhouse, agricultural, medical and industrial research school, nuclear science and technology research institute of karaj. a split factorial design on the ba...

Abstract Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) is a destructive soil-borne cotton disease. To profile genes and pathways responding to Fov infection, we compared transcriptomic responses before after F. inoculation in highly resistant cultivar, Yumian21, susceptible Jimian11. Although overall gene expression pattern was downregulated both cultivars, gl...

ABSTRACT The selective effect of quantitative host resistance on pathogen aggressiveness is poorly understood. Because two previous experiments with a small number of bread wheat cultivars and isolates of Mycosphaerella graminicola had indicated that more susceptible hosts selected for more aggressive isolates, we conducted a larger experiment to test that hypothesis. In each of 2 years, six cu...
