Symbiotic relationships between legumes and nitrogen-fixing soil micro-organisms are of ecological importance in plant communities worldwide. For example, nutrient-poor Australian soils often dominated by shrubby (e.g. species Acacia). However, relatively few studies have quantified patterns diversity, host-specificity effectiveness these ecologically important plant-microbe interactions. In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequence PCR-RFLP analyses were used to examine bacterial strains isolated...
A transgenic approach was undertaken to investigate the role of a rice ammonium transporter (OsAMT1-1) in uptake and consequent assimilation under different nitrogen regimes. Transgenic lines overexpressing OsAMT1-1 were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation two cultivars, Taipei 309 Jarrah, with an cDNA gene construct driven maize ubiquitin promoter. Transcript levels both Jarrah correlated positively transgene copy number. Shoot root biomass some decreased during seedling early...
The genetics of spikelet formation, a feature unique to grasses such as rice and maize, is yet be fully understood, although number meristem organ identity mutants have been isolated investigated in Arabidopsis maize. Using two-element Ac/Ds transposon tagging system we mutant, designated branched floretless 1 (bfl1) which defective the transition from floret meristem. bfl1 mutant shows normal differentiation primary rachis-branches leading initial (bract-like structure equivalent...
Blackleg disease, caused by the fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans, is a serious threat to canola (Brassica napus) production worldwide. Quantitative resistance this disease highly desirable trait but difficult precisely phenotype. Visual scores can be subjective and are prone assessor bias. Methods assess variation in quantitative more accurately were developed based on quantifying planta biomass, including Wheat Germ Agglutinin Chitin Assay (WAC), qPCR ddPCR assays.Disease assays...
Abstract Key Message Lack of function a D-genome adult plant resistance gene upon introgression into durum wheat. The wheat Lr34/Yr18/Sr57/Pm38/Ltn1 ( Lr34 ), located on chromosome arm 7DS, provides broad spectrum, partial, to leaf rust, stripe stem rust and powdery mildew. It has been used extensively in hexaploid bread (AABBDD) conferred durable for many decades. These same diseases also occur cultivated tetraploid emmer but transfer D genome sequences those subspecies is restricted due...
Abstract Ascochyta blight (AB) disease, caused by the fungal pathogen rabiei , is a major production constraint in many chickpea‐growing regions worldwide, causing substantial reductions grain yield and seed quality. The management of AB challenging due to limited genetic resistance evolving aggressiveness A . Currently, there heavy reliance on visual assessment expert pathologists for detection quantification disease severity, ability impartially quantify growth inoculum potential field. In...
Bangladesh envisages a vision to become Middle Income Country by 2021. Women entrepreneurs’ development and their contribution the economy has been considered one of accelerating contributor in Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) economic growth. The author undertaken study explore supportive factors which promote develop women entrepreneurs SMEs demonstrate linkages with institutional policy framework. A mixed research methods were applied, including review literature, key informant interviews,...
Needless to say that the women entrepreneurs of Bangladesh lack behind in economic advancement and decision making abilities compared men business entrepreneurs. Research shows only seven percent total establishments are owned headed by which negligible number a country where more than 170 million people live. One reasons poor development entrepreneurship is limited at different level society. Hence, this study aims identifying factors related among This causal research used primary data...
