Host response of rice genotypes from crosses of high-yielding and drought-tolerant Oryza sativa advanced breeding lines to the rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)The host response to Meloidogyne graminicola infection of 30 advanced breeding lines developed from crosses between high-yielding and drought-tolerant Oryza sativa genotypes was evaluated in outdoor raised beds. None of ... -
Mapping quantitative trait loci of Meloidogyne graminicola resistance and tolerance in a recombinant inbred line population of Oryza glaberrima × O. sativa
(Brill, 2019)Host response of BC2F3 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between African rice (CG14) and Asian rice (IR64) genotypes was evaluated in the field and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that confer ... -
QTL mapping for resistance to and tolerance for the rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola
(BioMed Central, 2018)Background The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola is an obligate biotrophic pathogen considered to be the most damaging nematode species that causes significant yield losses to upland and rainfed lowland rice ... -
The role of plant breeders' rights in an evolving peach and nectarine fresh fruit sector
(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2017)The evolving impact of plant breeders' rights was investigated in a bid to provide a basis for understanding the complex relationship that exists between scientific, legislative and market matters that shape the peach and ...
