Alternaria solani causes diseases on foliage (early blight), basal stems of seedlings (collar
rot), stems of adult plants (stem lesions), and fruits (fruit rot) of tomato. Early blight is the most …

R gene-mediated host resistance against apoplastic fungal pathogens is not adequately
explained by the terms pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity …

The common wheat cultivar Parula possesses a high level of slow rusting, adult plant
resistance (APR) to all three rust diseases of wheat. Previous mapping studies using an …

Linkage disequilibrium can be used for identifying associations between traits of interest and
genetic markers. This study used mapped diversity array technology (DArT) markers to find …

Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat is a crippling disease that causes severe economic

In recent years, molecular marker technology in higher plants has witnessed a shift from the
so-called random DNA markers (RDMs), developed in the past arbitrarily from genomic DNA …

Advanced backcross QTL (AB-QTL) analysis was used to identify quantitative trait loci
