Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is a causal agent of tan spot in wheat Kazakhstan, as it has been around the world. The pathogen produces host-specific toxins which interact with host sensitivity loci. aim this study was 1) to identify whether selected Kazakhstani isolates P. tritici- repentis possessed Ptr toxin genes ToxA and/or ToxB and 2) varieties resistant HST ToxB. As result analysis ...

Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is a necrotrophic fungus causal to the disease tan spot of wheat, whose contribution to crop loss has increased significantly during the last few decades. Pathogenicity by this fungus is attributed to the production of host-selective toxins (HST), which are recognized by their host in a genotype-specific manner. To better understand the mechanisms that have led to t...

Microbial bioreporters offer excellent potentialities for the detection of the bioavailable portion of pollutants in contaminated environments, which currently cannot be easily measured. This paper describes the construction and evaluation of two microbial bioreporters designed to detect the bioavailable chromate in contaminated water samples. The developed bioreporters are based on the express...

Powdery mildew has a negative impact on wheat production. Novel host resistance increases the diversity of resistance genes and helps to control the disease. In this study, wheat line FG-1 imported from France showed a high level of powdery mildew resistance at both the seedling and adult stages. An F2 population and F2:3 families from the cross FG-1 × Mingxian 169 both fit Mendelian ratios for...

We report here the release of four germplasm lines of hard red spring (HRS) wheat (T. aestivum L.) [Yecora Rojo Yr36– Gpc-B1 (Reg. no. GP-793, PI 638740), Yecora Rojo Lr47 (Reg. no. GP-791, PI 638738), Kern Lr47 (Reg. no. GP-792, PI 638739), and Anza Lr37/Yr17/Sr38 (Reg. no. GP-795, PI 638742)] and one durum wheat (T. turgidum L.) [UC1113 Yr36– Gpc-B1 (Reg. no. GP-794, PI 638741)], isogenic for...

ABSTRACT In the smut fungi, few features are available for use as taxonomic criteria (spore size, shape, morphology, germination type, and host range). DNA-based molecular techniques are useful in expanding the traits considered in determining relationships among these fungi. We examined the phylogenetic relationships among seven species of Ustilago (U. avenae, U. bullata, U. hordei, U. kolleri...

This study investigated genetic polymorphism on a local scale in Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici populations during natural epidemics, in four fields located in northern France and sampled in 1998 or 1999. Two hundred and forty-seven isolates were analyzed for their amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) pattern through four primer combinations, and 194 of them were also tested for t...
