Robust disease resistance may require an expenditure of energy that limit crop yield potential. In the present study, a subset United States Department Agriculture rice core collection consisting 151 accessions was selected using major blast (R) gene, Pi-ta, marker and genotyped with 156 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Disease reactions to Magnaporthe oryzae, causal agent disease, were evaluated under greenhouse field conditions, heading date, plant height, paddy brown seed weight in...
The response of plant growth and development to nutrient water availability is an important adaptation for abiotic stress tolerance. Roots need intercept both passing nutrients while foraging into new soil layers further resources. Substantial amounts nitrate can be lost in the field when leaching groundwater, yet very little known about how deep rooting affects this process. Here, we phenotyped root system traits 15N capture across 1.5 m vertical profiles solid media using tall mesocosms...
Abstract Meloidogyne incognita causes significant damage to many different crops. Previous studies showed that Streptomyces rubrogriseus HDZ-9-47 is a promising biocontrol agent. Combining it with biofumigation improved its efficacy against M . In the present study, reason for of combination was investigated by analyzing impact on both soil microbial and nematode communities in field. The results combined application reduced root galls 41% control greater than each treatment alone....
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has immense potential as a bioenergy crop with the aim of producing biofuel an end goal. Nitrogen (N)-related sustainability traits, such nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and remobilization (NRE), are important factors affecting switchgrass quality productivity. Hence, it is imperative to develop use-efficient accessions by exploring genetic basis NUE in switchgrass. For that, we used 331 diverse field-grown planted under low moderate N fertility treatments. We...
Abstract Plant phenotypic plasticity in response to nutrient and water availability is an important adaptation for abiotic stress tolerance. Roots intercept nutrients while foraging through soil searching further resources. Substantial amounts of nitrate can leach into groundwater; yet, little known about how deep rooting affects this process. Here, we phenotyped root system traits 15 N capture across 1.5 m profiles solid-media using tall mesocosms switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.), a...
