Tests of related wild species have identified a limited number of potential donors which may provide useful genetic material to improve host plant resistance to sheath blight. (irri.org)
This makes me happy: a research project has identified a gene that gives wheat plants resistance to one of the most deadly races of the wheat stem rust pathogen, Ug99. (religion.blogs.cnn.com)
Furthermore, basic knowledge on how this signaling path is organized and its key role in plant resistance to substrate flooding is the first step towards the biotechnological production of citric fruits that are more resistant to this type of stress. (sciencedaily.com)
