The epiphytic microbiota of sour rot-affected grapes differs minimally from that of healthy grapes, indicating causal organisms are already present on healthy berries
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Sour rot is a disease complex produced by an interaction between grape berries and various species of yeast and acetic acid bacteria in the presence of Drosophila fruit flies. While yeast and bacteria are consistently found ...
GmBZL3 acts as a major BR signaling regulator through crosstalk with multiple pathways in Glycine max
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a crucial role in plant vegetative growth and reproductive development. The transcription factors BZR1 and BES1/BZR2 are well characterized as downstream regulators of the BR signaling ...
Tracing the lineage of two traits associated with the coat protein of the Tombusviridae : silencing suppression and HR elicitation in nicotiana species
(MDPI AG, 2019)
In this paper we have characterized the lineage of two traits associated with the coat proteins (CPs) of the tombusvirids: Silencing suppression and HR elicitation in Nicotiana species. We considered that the tombusvirid ...
Demonstration of highly efficient dual gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the homeologous GmFAD2-1A and GmFAD2-1B genes to yield a high oleic, low linoleic and ?-linolenic acid phenotype in soybean
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is now revolutionizing the ability to effectively modify plant genomes in the absence of efficient homologous recombination mechanisms that exist in other organisms. However, soybean ...
Influence of repeated application of wetting agents on soil water repellency and microbial community
(MDPI AG, 2019)
Wetting agents are the primary tool used to control soil water repellency (SWR) and localized dry spot (LDS), especially on sand-based soils. However, the effect of repeated applications of wetting agents on soil microbial ...
Multidimensional approach to formulating a specialized diet for northern corn rootworm larvae
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
The northern corn rootworm (NCR), Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence, is a major pest of maize (Zea mays L.). This pest has developed resistance to insecticides and adapted to crop rotation and may already be in the early ...
Evaluation of reference genes for real-time quantitative PCR analysis in southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi (Barber)
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is one of the most efficient, reliable and widely used techniques to quantify gene expression. In this study, we evaluated the performance of six southern corn rootworm, ...
Chemistry and toxicology of quinoxaline, organotin, organofluorine, and formamidine acaricides
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1976-04)
Several of the newer synthetic organic or "second generation" acaricides are widely used for control of phytophagous mites and ticks. Quinoxaline, organotin, organofluorine, and formamidine compounds are among the newer ...
Symbiotic Seed Germination and Mycorrhizae of Federally Threatened Platanthera praeclara (Orchidaceae)
(The American Midland Naturalist, 2003)
In vitro culture of mycotrophic leaf-bearing seedlings of federally threatened Platanthera praeclara Sheviak and Bowles, a terrestrial orchid native to the midwestern prairies, is reported for the first time. Symbiotic ...
Proposed Physiologic Functions of Boron in Plants Pertinent to Animal and Human Metabolism
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1994-11)
Boron has been recognized since 1923 as an essential micronutrient element for higher plants. Over the years, many roles for boron in plants have been proposed, including functions in sugar transport, cell wall synthesis ...
