Reactions of Accessions in the Annual Medicago Core Germ Plasm Collection to Erysiphe pisi

Plant Disease
J R Yaege, D L Stuteville

Abstract

Reaction to Erysiphe pisi was evaluated in the annual Medicago core germ plasm collection of 199 USDA Plant Introduction accessions from 33 species. Seedlings at the first trifoliolate leaf stage were inoculated with conidia and maintained in growth chambers for 21 days at 20°C, 70 to 90% relative humidity, and a 12-h photoperiod. Beginning 4 days after inoculation, plants with the first sign of powdery mildew were recorded and removed daily. Results for each accession were presented as the percentage of plants mildew-free 21 days after inoculation and also as area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) values expressed as standardized proportion/days. AUDPC values were useful to account for length of latent period (number of days from inoculation until first sign of mildew). Thirty-two accessions from 14 species included plants mildew-free 21 days after inoculation. Mildew-free plants in those 32 accessions ranged from 100% in M. heyniana PI 537136 and M. truncatula PI 292436 down to 1% in six accessions. All plants in 87 accessions, which included all accessions of 11 species, had powdery mildew 4 days after inoculation and thus expressed no resistance. The remaining 80 accessions included slow-mildewing plants with latent ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
