Biotechnological Approaches for Genetic Improvement of Sorghum

Urriola Simons, Jazmina Itzel (2013-08-05)

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L., Moench) is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world and represents an important source of food, feed and energy in several countries. Recently, there has been an increasing interest ...

Ecological Roles of Two Entomopathogenic Endophytes: Beauveria bassiana and Purpureocillium lilacinum in Cultivated Cotton

Castillo Lopez, Diana (2015-05-11)

The ecological roles of two entomopathogenic endophytes: Beauveria bassiana and Purpureocillium lilacinum (formerly Paecilomyces lilacinus), were investigated in both applied and basic studies utilizing cultivated cotton, ...

Efficacy of abamectin as a seed treatment for control of Meloidogyne incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis on cotton

Faske, Travis Ryan (2009-06-02)

Abamectin is a blend of B1a and B1b avermectins that is being used as a seed treatment to control plant-parasitic nematodes on cotton. Data on the toxicity of abamectin and its effectiveness as a seed treatment to control ...

Exploring Hormone Crosstalk in Fusarium verticillioidies Infection of Maize

Drab, Dillon (2013-02-04)

Fusarium verticillioides is a major pathogen of a broad range of field crops. Seeds infections lead to contamination by hazardous mycotoxins, such as fumonisin. Fumonisin is known to cause developmental defects in humans ...

The Function of the Lipoxygenase ZmLOX10 in Maize Interactions with Insects and Pathogens

Christensen, Shawn A. (2011-02-22)

Lipoxygenase (LOX)-derived oxylipins are known to play critical roles in defense against herbivores and pathogens. The objective of this study was to determine the biochemical, molecular and physiological roles of a specific ...

Genetic Dissection and Functional Analysis of a Putative Lipase in Plant Immunity

Liu, Chenglong (2019-05-31)

Perception of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) elicits MAMP-triggered immunity (MTI) and contributes to plant resistance to pathogen infection. To understand the mechanisms ...

Genomic analysis of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase genes of Zea mays

Zhang, Jinglan (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)

The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are enzymes of the octadecanoid pathway which converts linolenic acid to a phytohormone, jasmonic acid. Bioinformatics analysis of ESTs and genomic sequences from available ...
