AbstractYield stability of legume crops is constrained by a number pest and diseases. Major diseases are rusts, powdery downy mildews, ascochyta blights, botrytis gray molds, anthracnoses, damping-off, root rots, collar vascular wilts white molds. Parasitic weeds, viruses, bacteria, nematodes damages caused chewing sap-sucking insects add to this long list constraints for production. Their incidence relative importance together with current understanding their interactions the host plants...
Abstract Background Ascochyta blight, caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes is one of the most important pea pathogens. However, little known about genes and mechanisms resistance acting against M. in pea. Resistance identified so far to this pathogen incomplete, polygenic scarce pea, being common Pisum relatives. The identification underlying would increase our knowledge pinodes- interaction facilitate introgression into varieties. In present study differentially expressed resistant P. sativum...
Abstract Little resistance against Mycosphaerella pinodes is available in pea. In this work 78 accessions of Pisum were screened for to M. pinodes. Fourteen showed a good level seedlings under controlled conditions, and mature plants the field. The highest levels found P. fuivum , followed by sativum ssp. eiatius syriacum. Resistance five selected was effective different isolates originating from countries. Resistant reported paper have been successfully hybridized with field pea cultivars.
Summary Orobanche and Phelipanche spp. (broomrapes) are parasitic plants that can be responsible for devastating losses in several important crops. The development of resistant cultivars is one the key strategies fight against this pest. However, nature resistance complex basis interaction between host parasite still largely unknown. Despite progress achieved during last century through breeding programmes, sources often scarce (e.g. legumes). available not durable, with field being overcome...
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a nutritious and resilient crop that displays high genetic phenotypic variation. As the popularity of this increases, there growing need to integrate classic modern breeding tools favor its improvement. We tested root restriction as method reduce plant size enable high-throughput screening large sets quinoa plants under controlled conditions. verified how increasing does not affect prediction field behavior with respect other standard greenhouse cultivation...
Abstract A collection of 67 accessions Pisum species originating from different countries was screened in a glasshouse test for resistance to Erysiphe pisi . All fulvum were completely resistant. Incomplete identified some P. sativum subsp. var. arvense and elatius abyssinicum Microscopy revealed several distinct cellular mechanisms governing resistance. In , it mainly due high frequency cell death that occurred both as rapid response attempted infection delayed followed colony...
With 1 table Abstract Only two genes conferring resistance to powdery mildew, er1 and er2 , were known in Pisum sativum till the recent postulation of a new dominant gene fulvum Er3 . However, additional studies needed discern whether was novel or just allele at either In this study, we demonstrate that segregates independently from genes, being therefore different gene. We also prove is present several P accessions.
Legume cultivation is strongly hampered by the occurrence of ascochyta blights. Strategies control have been developed but only marginal successes achieved. Breeding for disease resistance regarded most cost efficient method control. Significant genetic variation exists in legume crops with numerous germplasm lines maintained, providing an excellent resource plant breeders. Fast and reliable screening methods adjusted to fulfil breeding programmes needs. However, complex inheritance...
Abstract Background Downy mildew is the most relevant disease of quinoa and widespread. Though, little known about genetics resistance to this disease. The objective study was identify genomic regions controlling downy in candidate genes for trait. With aim we carried out a GWAS analysis collection formed by 211 accessions from different origins. This approach combined with inheritance studies Bulk Segregant Analysis (BSA) segregating population. Results identified 26 associated Inheritance...
An aggressive isolate of Didymella pinodes isolated from pea ( Pisum sativum ) produced four different metabolites in vitro. The the culture filtrates were characterized by spectroscopic and optical methods. A new nonenolide, named pinolide, was as (2S*,7R*,8S*,5E,9R*)-2,7,8-trihydroxy-9-propyl-5-nonen-9-olide. Pinolidoxin, main toxin D. pinodes, also together with two other closely related nonenolides, identified herbarumin II 2-epi-herbarumin II. Herbarumin have been previously fungi Phoma...
