Blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, has become a devastating disease on wheat in several countries worldwide. Growers need alternative methods for blast management, and silicon (Si) stands out its potential to decrease the intensity of important diseases crops. This study investigated effect Si improving photoassimilate production flag leaves plants their partitioning spikes scenario where symptoms decreased as result potentiation defense mechanisms Si. Wheat (cultivar BRS Guamirim) were...
Wheat blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae , can cause large yield losses in crops. This study aimed to investigate defence responses flag leaves and spikes of wheat cultivars BR ‐18 (moderately resistant) BRS ‐Guamirim (susceptible), which differ their levels basal resistance. In contrast cultivar ‐Guamirim, infected plants showed more pronounced increases activities β‐1,3‐glucanase chitinase as well higher concentrations lignin‐thioglycolic acid derivatives the total soluble phenolics...
