ABSTRACT Specific resistances to isolates of the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola, which causes Septoria tritici blotch of wheat, have been detected in many cultivars. Cvs. Flame and Hereward, which have specific resistance to the isolate IPO323, were crossed with the susceptible cv. Longbow. The results of tests on F1 and F2 progeny indicated that a single semidominant gene control...

Meloidogyne graminicola merupakan salah satu nematoda parasit penting pada tanaman padi. M. menyebabkan gejala puru akar sehingga pertumbuhan terhambat dan terganggu. Pengendalian sangat dilakukan agar kerusakan padi penyebarannya dapat ditekan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji potensi bakteri endofit dalam mengendalikan (NPA) Empat isolat asal padi, yaitu Si33, Si2, Sp24, GH1, kentang G0...

Polygalacturonase-inhibitor protein (PGIP) is a defense protein found in plant cell walls. It prevents the degradation of pectin by modulating the endo-polygalacturonase activity. The present study has used heterologous anti-bean PGIP probes to investigate the role of PGIP in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br.] resistance against downy mildew caused by oomycete pathogen Sclerospora gra...
