We show here that the pvr2 locus in pepper, conferring recessive resistance against strains of potato virus Y (PVY), corresponds to a eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) gene. RFLP analysis on the PVY-susceptible and resistant pepper cultivars, using an eIF4E cDNA from tobacco as probe, revealed perfect map co-segregation between a polymorphism in the eIF4E gene and the pvr2 alleles, pvr2(1...

In order to produce doubled haploid lines of bread wheat resistant to strip or yellow rust, three F1 wheat hybrids were crossed using pollens of three maize hybrids. Out of 1071 pollinated florets, success in seed set ranged from 63.1% to 93.3% (mean 78%). Differences in seed set among the crosses were not significant. Embryo formation in the seeds developed on different crosses also varied fro...

to evaluate the reaction of some wheat advanced lines and cultivars to yellow rust at seedling stage, seeds of 200 accessions were planted in 5cm diameter pots (4-6 seeds per pot) in greenhouse. the seedlings were inoculated with fresh harvested urediniospores of two different races of puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (134e134a+ from karaj and 134e142a+ from maragheh, iran) when the first see...

conclusions more than a quarter of the strains harboured sccmec type i. staphylococcus aureus isolates were clustered into eight predominant pfge pulsotypes. the current study should be considered preliminary and further use of molecular studies to monitor the epidemiology of mrsa and its evolution is highly recommended. materials and methods dna was extracted from 114 frozen s. aureus strains ...

The ecological plasticity, stability, and adaptive potential of varieties promising genetic lines the annual form white sweet clover were assessed. studies carried out in 2016-2020 Volga Scientific Research Institute Selection Seed-Growing named after P.N. Konstantinov, Samara Federal Center, Russian Academy Sciences. According to parameters plasticity studied differentiated into groups accordi...

The necessity to repair genome damage has been considered to be an immediate factor responsible for the origin of sex. Indeed, attack by a cellular restriction enzyme of invading DNA from several bacteriophages initiates recombinational repair by gene conversion if there is homologous DNA. In this work, we modeled the interaction between a bacteriophage and a bacterium carrying a restriction en...

one of the growth limiting factors of onion plants is root and basal plate rot disease, caused by fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae. in this research, eight iranian onion genotypes, azarshahr red, ghom white, herssin, isfahan dorcheh, kashan white, nishabour ishaghabad, yazd abarkoh, zanjan gholigheseh and two commercial genotypes, texas erly grano and yellow sweet spanish were investigated. geno...
