Project description:Time course: Interaction of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei with Hordeum vulgare, Ingrid (leaf) and Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici with Hordeum vulgare, Ingrid (leaf)
Project description:Time course: Interaction of Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei with Hordeum vulgare, Ingrid (leaf epidermis) and Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici with Hordeum vulgare, Ingrid (leaf epidermis)
Project description:Transgenic wheat plants of cv. Bobwhite were generated that constitutively overexpress class III peroxidase cDNA TaPrx103 (previously TaPERO) under the control of the epidermis-specific GstA1 promoter. Several transgenic lines show enhanced pathogen resistance. In order to test the concept of substantial equivalence, wildtype and transgenic lines were subjected to pathogen attack by Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici, followed by transcript profiling using the barleyPGRC1 cDNA array.
Project description:The take-all disease caused by the soilborne fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis var tritici (Ggt) is one of the most-studied and widespread root diseases worldwide. Here, we investigated the ability of the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa to induce take-all disease tolerance in Triticum aestivum.
