Journal ArticleDOI

Map-based isolation of the leaf rust disease resistance gene Lr10 from the hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome

TL;DR: It is concluded that map-based cloning of genes of agronomic importance in hexaploid wheat is now feasible, opening perspectives for molecular bread wheat improvement trough transgenic strategies and diagnostic allele detection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of a contiguous 211 kb sequence in diploid wheat (Triticum monococcum L.) reveals multiple mechanisms of genome evolution.

TL;DR: Seven types of foldback transposons, an element class previously not described for wheat genomes, were characterized and one such element was found to be closely associated with genes in several Triticeae species and may therefore be of use for the identification of gene-rich regions in these species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the eIF(iso)4G translation initiation factor confer high resistance of rice to Rice yellow mottle virus

TL;DR: Evidence is reported of the role that the isoform of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G (eIF(iso)4G) plays in naturally occurring resistance in plant/virus interactions and suggests that this domain may be involved in an interaction with the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genetic Basis of High Resistance to Rice Yellow Mottle Virus (RYMV) in Cultivars of Two Cultivated Rice Species.

TL;DR: Evaluation of F1 hybrids and interspecific progenies, as well as the segregation of resistance in F2 and F3 lines of the IR64 × Gigante cross, provided results consistent with the presence of a single recessive resistance gene common to Tog5681 and Gigante.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution and Characterization of Rice yellow mottle virus: A Threat to African Farmers.

TL;DR: The disease’s impact on rice production in Africa, its distribution, symptomatology, and epidemiology, the physical and genetic characteristics of the virus, and resistance mechanisms and breeding efforts for resistance will be discussed.
