The potential of hyperspectral measurements for early disease detection has been investigated by many experts over the last 5 years. One difficulties is obtaining enough data training and building a library. When goal to detect at previsible stage, before pathogen manifested either its first symptoms or in area surrounding existing symptoms, it impossible objectively delineate regions interest ...

Crop pathogens are notorious for their rapid adaptation to their host. We still know little about the evolution of their life cycles and whether there might be trade-offs between fitness components, limiting the evolutionary potential of these pathogens. In this study, we explored a trade-off between spore production capacity and latent period in Puccinia triticina, a fungal pathogen causing le...

With the rapid growth of genomic information, there is an increasing demand for efficient analysis tools to study the function of predicted genes coded in genomes. Agroinfiltration, the delivery of gene constructs into plant cells by Agrobacterium tumefaciens infiltrated into leaves, is one such versatile, simple, and rapid technique that is increasingly used for transient gene expression assay...

Abstract Triticum monococcum L. and T. boeoticum L., diploid wild relatives of bread wheat ( aestivum L.), possess resistance to leaf rust (also known as brown rust) caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. Haustorium formation-based mechanisms (i.e. pre-haustorial post-haustorial resistance) have been studied reported in various accessions. In the present study, mechanism accessions was using confo...
