Sentences with phrase «leaf rust resistance»

It appears that the synergistic effect of some multiple gene combinations, including Lr2BS, enhances leaf rust resistance.

Linkage and quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping were performed by combining our new genotypic data with a previously generated genetic map for this population, then adding rust disease data from our experiment to identify genomic regions associated with leaf rust resistance.

She did her PhD research in a collaborative project involving Punjab Agricultural University and the John Innes Centre, UK, to deploy stripe and leaf rust resistance genes from non-progenitor wild wheat in commercial cultivars.

When coffee leaf rust — which was first spotted in East Africa in the 1860s — made it to South America in the 1970s, Colombia's national coffee research center, Cenicafé, was already a decade into its rust resistance breeding program.

A three - phase experiment was conducted on a doubled - haploid population derived from the cross RL4452 / AC Domain to determine if the resistance of a recently discovered gene (Lr2BS) worked with other resistance genes to synergistically enhance resistance to leaf rust.

There are two general types of resistance genes found in wheat: Race - specific genes confer a high - level of resistance to specific strains of leaf rust but can be easily overcome by genetic mutation in pathogen populations, while slow rusting (APR) resistance provides partial resistance to a broad spectrum of races, but is typically effective only at the adult stage of plant growth.
