Victoria blight of oats is caused by the fungus Cochhobolus victoriae. This fungus is pathogenic due to its ability to produce the host-selective toxin victorin. Previously, a 100-kD protein that binds victorin in vivo only in susceptible genotypes was identified as
the P protein of the glycine decarboxylase complex (GDC)....
The fungus Cochliobolus victoriae causes Victoria blight of oats and Arabidopsis and is pathogenic due to its production of a compound called victorin, which induces programmed cell death in sensitive plants. Victorin sensitivity in Arabidopsis is conferred by the dominant gene LOCUS ORCHESTRATING VICTORIN EFFECTS1 (LOV1), which encodes a coiled-coil-nucleotide...
Victoria blight of oats (Avena sativa) is caused by the fungus, Cochliobolus victoriae, which produces the toxin, victorin. Victorin production is required for pathogenicity of the fungus. In oats, sensitivity to the toxin and susceptibility to the pathogen is conditioned by a dominant allele at the 1'b locus, while oats...
Production of the host selective toxin victorin is causal to pathogenesis of Cochliobolus victoriae on oats. The dominant Vb gene confers oat sensitivity to victorin, and is genetically inseparable from Pc2, which confers resistance to Puccinia coronata f. sp. avena. Victorin induces apoptotic-like cell death, and cell death is a...
Lodging in cereals can cause significant decreases in yield. It
is both a problem in susceptible cereal cultivars with a tall-stemmed,
weak-strawed growing habit and in lodging-resistant
cereal cultivars when they are grown under high-nitrogen, high-moisture
regimes. Plant growth regulators (PGR's) are chemical
growth retardants that offer a method of...
Levels of resistance to six selected insecticides of
eleven field populations of the filbert aphid Mvzocallis
coryli (Goetze) were determined by using the leaf-dip
residue technique. Test insecticides included compounds
widely used in commercial filbert orchards, namely,
carbaryl, diazinon, endosulfan, phosalone, fenvalerate and
oxydemetonmethyl. Aphid samples were collected within a...
