Distinct Infection Mechanisms of <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> AG-1 IA and AG-4 HG-I+II in <i>Brachypodium distachyon</i> and Barley

Rhizoctonia solani is a basidiomycete phytopathogenic fungus that causes rapid necrosis in a wide range of crop species, leading to substantial agricultural losses worldwide. The species complex is divided into 13 anastomosis groups (AGs) b...

Draft genome of the aquatic moss Fontinalis antipyretica (Fontinalaceae, Bryophyta)

Mosses comprise one of three lineages forming a sister group to extant vascular plants. Having emerged from an early split in the diversification of embryophytes, mosses may offer complementary insights into the evolution of traits followin...

Identification and functional characterization of the MYB transcription factor GmMYBLJ in soybean leaf senescence

Leaf senescence is an important agronomic trait that significantly influences the quality and yield of soybeans. v-Myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog (MYB) transcription factors are considered crucial regulators governing leaf ...

Genetic variation for terminal heat stress tolerance in winter wheat

In many regions worldwide wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants experience terminal high temperature stress during the grain filling stage, which is a leading cause for single seed weight decrease and consequently for grain yield reduction. A...

Ovule and seed development of crop plants in response to climate change

The ovule is a plant structure that upon fertilization, transforms into a seed. Successful fertilization is required for optimum crop productivity and is strongly affected by environmental conditions including temperature and precipitation....

Outcome of Microalgae Biomass Application on Seed Germination and Hormonal Activity in Winter Wheat Leaves

The present work aimed to test selected microalgae strains from the Mosonmagyaróvár Algae Culture Collection (MACC) on germination ability and certain physiological processes in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants. Germination tests ...

Intradiol ring cleavage dioxygenases from herbivorous spider mites as a new detoxification enzyme family in animals

Abstract Background Generalist herbivores such as the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae thrive on a wide variety of plants and can rapidly adapt to novel hosts. What traits enable polyphagous herbivores to cope with the diversity ...

Decreased photosynthetic rate under high temperature in wheat is due to lipid desaturation, oxidation, acylation, and damage of organelles

Abstract Background High temperature is a major abiotic stress that limits wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. Variation in levels of a wide range of lipids, including stress-related molecular species, oxidative damage, cellular orga...
