Twenty-eight bean breeding lines and cultivars were classified
for resistance to bean yellow mosaic virus type strain 7634 (BYMV)
and severe strain Gilbert 6 (BYMV-S). 'Great Northern U.I. 31'
(G.N. 31) and breeding lines (S-lines) selected from a cross between
G.N. 31 and O.S.C. 21 were chosen as parents for...
One of the most economically important genes in squash (Cucurbita spp.) is the B gene which conditions precocious depletion of chlorophyll in preanthesis fruit. The B genes are found naturally occurring in at least three of the five domesticated species of Cucurbita, including C. pepo, C. maxima and, most recently...
In mature Arabidopsis seeds, the testa (seed coat) is no longer a living tissue. Thus,
major sites of gene expression in imbibed seeds are the internal living tissues such
as the embryo and the endosperm. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of seed
germination, the gene regulation in these two tissues...
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is an important disease of Cucurbita worldwide. Resistant cultivars are the best means of control. ZYMV resistance is quantitative in the wild species C. ecuadorensis, and is controlled by at least three genes in tropical C moschata. Very little molecular work has been done in...
The inheritance mode of pea-resistance to the Lentil
Strain of Pea Seedborne Mosaic Virus (PSbMV-L) was
studied. In addition, commercial pea cultivars, Plant
Introduction (P.I.) lines and Oregon State University
(OSU) breeding lines were tested for susceptibility to
this virus. These lines were also tested for their
reaction to Bean...
Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV), the causal agent of red blotch disease (RBD) in grapevine, Vitis vinifera L., is an emerging pathogen of significance to the wine grape industry of Oregon, USA. To address knowledge gaps of GRBV epidemiology, spread of GRBV was evaluated in Oregon vineyards over four years....
Pea streak virus (Marmor trifolii Holmes) is widespread and
occasionally destructive in Eastern Oregon and Washington, and in
many other pea growing areas. Since control by the use of insecticides
to kill the insect vector is only partially successful, resistant
varieties of peas are needed.
In a study to confirm...
