Evaluation of powdery mildew-resistance of grape germplasm and rapid amplified polymorphic DNA markers associated with the resistant trait in Chinese wild Vitis

J. Zhang, Zhang, Y., Yu, H., and Wang, Y., “Evaluation of powdery mildew-resistance of grape germplasm and rapid amplified polymorphic DNA markers associated with the resistant trait in Chinese wild Vitis”, vol. 13, pp. 3599-3614, 2014.

The resistance of wild Vitis germplasm, including Chinese and American wild Vitis and Vitis vinifera cultivars, to powdery mildew (Uncinula necator Burr.) was evaluated for two consecutive years under natural conditions. Most of the Chinese and North American species displayed a resistant phenotype, whereas all of the European species were highly susceptible.

Differential expression of resistance to powdery mildew at the early stage of development in wheat line N0308

M. A. Alam, Hongpo, W., Hong, Z., and Ji, W. Q., “Differential expression of resistance to powdery mildew at the early stage of development in wheat line N0308”, vol. 13, pp. 4289-4301, 2014.

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp tritici (Bgt) is one of the devastating diseases of wheat and causes yield losses in temperate wheat growing regions. A wheat line, N0308 with resistance to powdery mildew was used in this study. A suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA library was constructed from the wheat leaves inoculated by Bgt at the two-leaf stage.

Genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of the MLO gene family in Cucumis sativus

S. J. Zhou, Jing, Z., and Shi, J. L., “Genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of the MLO gene family in Cucumis sativus”, vol. 12, pp. 6565-6578, 2013.

Mildew resistance locus o (MLO) is a plant-specific seven-transmembrane (TM) gene family. Several studies have revealed that certain members of the MLO gene family mediate powdery mildew susceptibility in three plant species, namely, Arabidopsis, barley, and tomato. The sequenced cucumber genome provides an opportunity to conduct a comprehensive overview of the MLO gene family.
