Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Leptosphaeria spp. and Oculimacula spp. with the reef coral gene DsRed and the jellyfish gene gfp
(2005-12-01)
Four filamentous ascomycetes, Leptosphaeria maculans, L. biglobosa, Oculimacula yallundae and O. acuformis, were transformed via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation with the genes encoding DsRed and GFP. Using ...
In vitro mutation and selection of doubled-haploid Brassica napus lines with improved resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
(2005-06)
This paper describes a new protocol to develop doubled-haploid (DH) Brassica napus lines with improved resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In this protocol, haploid seedlings derived from microspore cultures of B. napus ...
Wheat archive links long-term fungal pathogen population dynamics to air pollution
(2005-04-12)
We used the PCR to study the presence of two plant pathogens in archived wheat samples from a long-term experiment started in 1843. The data were used to construct a unique 160-yr time-series of the abundance of Phaeosphaeria ...
Development of Oculimacula yallundae and O-acuformis (eyespot) on leaf sheaths of winter wheat in the UK in relation to thermal time
(2005-04)
In a controlled environment (15/10 degrees C) (day/night) container experiment on winter wheat (cv. Avalon), eyespot incidence (percentage of plants affected) and number of leaf sheaths penetrated after 6 weeks increased ...
Patterns of ascospore release in relation to phoma stem canker epidemiology in England (Leptosphaeria maculans) and Poland (Leptosphaeria biglobosa)
(2005-03)
Experiments over five growing seasons at Rothamsted (1998/99-2002/03), four seasons at Boxworth (1998/99, 1999/2000, 2001/02, 2002/03) in England (Leptosphaeria maculans) and three seasons (1998/99-2000/01) at Poznan in ...
Identification and characterization of polymorphic minisatellites in the phytopathogenic ascomycete Leptosphaeria maculans
(2005-01)
Leptosphaeria maculans causes phoma stem canker, the most serious disease of oilseed rape world-wide. Sexual recombination is important in the pathogen life cycle and increases the risk of plant resistance genes being ...
Resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans in Brassica napus (oilseed rape) leaves (phoma leaf spot) and stems (canker)
(British Crop Protection Council, 2005)
Use of risk prediction models for integrated control of diseases of oilseed rape in the UK
(British Crop Protection Council, 2005)
Pest and disease management system for supporting winter oilseed rape decisions (PASSWORD) – validation phase
(HGCA, 2005)
Pests and particularly diseases cause serious loss of yield and quality in winter oilseed rape estimated to exceed £80 million/annum in some years. These losses have occurred despite an annual expenditure of about £3.5 ...
