The Volga region is one of the main grain-producing regions Russia. Wheat stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici among most destructive fungal diseases wheat. Recently, its harmfulness has increased in region. In this regard, an analysis resistance and diversity Sr genes Russian wheat cultivars necessary. work, 126 (including 23 durum 103 bread cultivars) approved for use were eva...

The diurnal and seasonal temperature rising patterns "asymmetric warming," plays an important role in crop distribution and productivity. Asymmetric warming during the early growth periods of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) profoundly affects vegetative growth and post-anthesis grain productivity, but the underlying physiological mechanism is still unclear. We conducted field experiments fr...

The most cost effective and environmentally safe means by which wheat diseases can be controlled is through the use of genetic resistance in commercially grown cultivars. The identification and genetic characterisation of new sources of disease resistance and their transfer to the adapted genetic backgrounds is of great importance for breeding for disease resistance. The development of molecula...

BACKGROUND Variations in sugar yield due to genotypic qualities of feedstock are largely undescribed for pilot-scale ethanol processing. Our objectives were to compare glucose and xylose yield (conversion and total sugar yield) from straw of five winter wheat cultivars at three enzyme loadings (2.5, 5 and 10 FPU g-1 dm pretreated straw) and to compare particle size distribution of cultivars aft...

abstract common root rot induced by bipolaris sorokiniana, is one of the most important diseases of wheat. chemical control of this disease is difficult because of it is a soil-born pathogen, so that, application of other methods is useful to reduce disease level especially resistance cultivars. in this research, were examined reaction of some wheat cultivars and lines against common root rot i...

BACKGROUND Aflatoxins are toxic fungal metabolites enable to contaminate a wide range of natural substrates. This contamination can be host-specific for different plant species. In this study, the ability of a toxigenic Aspergillus parasiticus to produce various aflatoxins on major Iranian cereals was evaluated with special focus on plant susceptibility to toxin production at cultivar level. ...

the short arm of rye (secale cereale l.) chromosome 1 (1rs), besides being part of the rye genome, is present in many hundred wheat cultivars as either 1rs.1bl or 1rs.1dl wheat-rye translocation. in this study, the distribution of the wheat–rye translocation was examined in 33 iranian winter and spring wheat cultivars, nine of which had a known donor of 1rs.1bl translocation and the other 24 we...

in this study, we aimed to determine the effects of halo-priming on yield and yield components of four wheat cultivars in a saline soil. a field study was conducted in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd). soil ph was 8/1 and electrical conductivity was 9 ds/m. wheat cultivars (falat, ghods, chamran and shoori4) were primed with cacl2 solutions (control, 0, 50 and 100 mm)....

Variations in leaf starch accumulation were observed among four species (wheat [Triticum aestivum L.], soybean [Glycine max L. Merr.], tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum L.], and red beet [Beta vulgaris L.]), nine peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) cultivars, and two specific peanut genotypes grown under different nutritional regimes. Among the genotypes tested, the activity of sucrose phosphate synthase was ...

the influence of leaf pubescence of three wheat cultivars (pishtaz, ghuds and falat) on preference and biological parameters of sipha maydis (passerini) was investigated under greenhouse conditions (25 ± 2 °c, 70 ± 10% rh and 14: 10 h (l: d) photoperiod). the results showed that pishtaz had a greater density of trichomes compared to the other cultivars. in the preference test with whole plant, ...
