Investigation of hop downy mildew through association mapping and observations of the oospore

Creator:

Parker, Thomas B.

Abstract:

Hop downy mildew is a devastating disease affecting hop requiring expensive fungicide applications throughout the growing season. Plant resistance is highly desirable and theorized as being decidedly quantitative with dominance and epistasis involved in resistance. An association mapping approach using a mixed-model was used to identify AFLP markers associated with...

Genetic resistance to white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary) in scarlet runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus L.)

Creator:

Gilmore, Barbara S.

Abstract:

White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary, is a destructive yield-limiting disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Genetic resistance to this pathogen is limited in common bean. Identification of high levels of partial physiological resistance in a genetically cross compatible species, Phaseolus coccineus, is advisable. The objectives...

Ectopic overexpression of Arabidopsis CBF genes enhances freezing tolerance of two potato species

Creator:

Pino, María-Teresa

Abstract:

Solanum species differ in their degree of frost tolerance and cold acclimation capacity. Cultivated potato species of Solanum tuberosum L. are frost-sensitive, incapable of cold acclimation, and have a maximum freezing tolerance of –3°C. Solanum commersonii Dun is frost-tolerant and can survive to –5ºC pre-acclimation and –10ºC post-acclimation. Breeding attempts...
