Cereal cyst nematode (CCN; Heterodera avenae Woll.) is a root pathogen of cereal crops that can cause severe yield losses in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ). Differential host–nematode interactions occur cultivars carrying different CCN resistance (Cre) genes. The objective this study was to determine the conferred by Cre7 gene from Aegilops triuncialis 42-chromosome introgression line and assess effects Cre1, Cre3, Cre4, Cre8 genes present Australian lines on Spanish pathotype Ha71. Inhibition...
Abstract Increasing evidence indicates that tree growth processes, including reproduction, can be either sink- or source-limited, simultaneously co-limited by sink and source, depending on the interplay between internal environmental factors. We tested hypothesis relative strengths of photosynthate supply demand stem reproduction create variable competition for substrate is imprinted in tree-ring isotopes (C O) stone pine (Pinus pinea L.), a masting gymnosperm with large costs under...
PREMISE Persistence of tree populations in the face global change relies on their capacity to respond biotic and abiotic stressors through plastic or adaptive changes. Genetic adaptation will depend additive genetic variation within heritability traits related stress tolerance. Because can be genetically linked, selective pressure acting one trait may lead correlated responses other traits. METHODS To test direct selection for growth drought tolerance Pinus halepensis , we selected trees a...
Advanced wheat lines carrying the Hessian fly resistance gene H27 were obtained by backcrossing wheat/Aegilops ventricosa introgression line, H-93-33, to commercial cultivars as recurrent parents. The Acph-Nv1 marker linked on 4Nv chromosome of this line was used for assisted selection. evaluated in field and growth chamber tests, other agronomic traits during several crop seasons at different localities Spain. hessian levels (4D/4Nv substitution recombination that previously classified situ...
Variation in life-history and ecophysiological traits has key ecological significance plants, which environmental changes play a central role throughout their life cycles. Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is one of the most characteristic species Mediterranean basin that able to grow under harsh, limiting conditions typically defined as masting species. Considering high economical value associated with edible nut production, habit stone been main concern for forest management Here, we investigate...
Increasing evidence indicates that tree growth processes, including reproduction, can be either sink- or source-limited, simultaneously co-limited by sink and source, depending on the interplay between internal environmental factors. We tested hypothesis relative strengths of photosynthate supply demand stem reproduction create variable competition for substrate is imprinted in tree-ring isotopes Pinus pinea , a gymnosperm with large costs under warming-induced drought. Over 60-yr period, we...
Pinus halepensis Mill. is a conifer typical of Mediterranean pinewoods adapted to drought and fire. Although the timing seasonal events in P. strongly associated with these stressors other environmental factors, needle phenology litter flammability are insufficiently characterized at intraspecific level. These traits can be informative existence locally populations across species' distribution range, remote sensing approaches promising tools infer phenological changes forest trees. In this...
The reaction of chitosan beads with Pd(OAc)2 gave chitosan-supported palladium(II). Then the palladium(II) in was converted into palladium(0) (polymeric Pd 1) by treatment hydrazine hydrate. chitosan-palladium polymeric composite 1 crosslinked diglycidyl ether polyethylene glycol to yield catalyst 2. Suzuki cross-coupling various aryl halides and boronic acids carried out catalyst 2 water under microwave-irradiation conditions afford corresponding biaryl compounds 14-98% yield. presence...
