TAMFT‐3A and TAMFT‐3B2 homeologs are associated with wheat preharvest sprouting
(Wiley, 2022-08)The phenomenon of preharvest sprouting (PHS), caused by rain after physiological maturity and prior to harvest, negatively affects wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production and end use. Investigating the genetics that control ... -
Registration of ‘Lustre’ durum wheat
(Wiley, 2022-08)‘Lustre’ (Reg. no. CV-1193, PI 695072) is a spring durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum (Desf.)] developed by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 2020. Lustre was bred using the single seed ... -
A transcriptomic-guided strategy used in identification of a wheat rust pathogen target and modification of the target enhanced host resistance to rust pathogens
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-09)Transcriptional reprogramming is an essential feature of plant immunity and is governed by transcription factors (TFs) and co-regulatory proteins associated with discrete transcriptional complexes. On the other hand, ... -
Relationships between roots, the stay‐green phenotype, and agronomic performance in barley and wheat grown in semi‐arid conditions
(Wiley, 2022-01)Stay-green is a phenotype that crop breeders could use to improve drought adaptation. It increases the duration of grain fill in several species including barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), ... -
Efficacy of Biorational Products for Managing Diseases of Tomato in Greenhouse Production
(MDPI AG, 2022-06)Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), late blight (Phytophthora infestans), powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica), pith necrosis (Pseudomonas corrugata), and bacterial canker (Clavibacter michiganensis) are major diseases that affect ... -
Rapid sequence and functional diversification of a miRNA superfamily targeting calcium signaling components in seed plants
(Wiley, 2022-05)MicroRNA (miRNA)-directed posttranscriptional gene silencing (miR-PTGS) is an integral component of gene regulatory networks governing plant development and responses to the environment. The sequence homology between ... -
Evaluating the impact of Rht hypomorphic mutations in durum wheat
(Wiley, 2021-12)Increasing the yield of wheat (Triticum spp.) requires identifying new allelic combinations by crossing or by creating useful variation in yield limiting genes. Wheat yield is impacted by many factors, including tiller ... -
Peanut Seed Coat Acts as a Physical and Biochemical Barrier against Aspergillus flavus Infection
(MDPI AG, 2021-11)Aflatoxin contamination is a global menace that adversely affects food crops and human health. Peanut seed coat is the outer layer protecting the cotyledon both at pre- and post-harvest stages from biotic and abiotic ... -
Cortinarius subgenus Leprocybe, unexpected diversity and significant differences in species compositions between western and eastern North America
(Naturalis Biodiversity Center, 2021-01)The focus of this paper is the North American species of Cortinarius in subg. Leprocybe. Eighteen species, including twelve new ones, and two tentative (aff.) species, are delimited based on morphological and molecular ... -
Genome-Wide Identification and Function of Aquaporin Genes During Dormancy and Sprouting Periods of Kernel-Using Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.)
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-10)Aquaporins (AQPs) are essential channel proteins that play a major role in plant growth and development, regulate plant water homeostasis, and transport uncharged solutes across biological membranes. In this study, 33 AQP ... -
Investigating Virus–Host Interactions in Cultured Primary Honey Bee Cells
(MDPI AG, 2021-07)Honey bee (Apis mellifera) health is impacted by viral infections at the colony, individual bee, and cellular levels. To investigate honey bee antiviral defense mechanisms at the cellular level we further developed the use ... -
Transcriptome and Small RNA Profiling of Potato Virus Y Infected Potato Cultivars, including Systemically Infected Russet Burbank
(MDPI AG, 2022-03)Potatoes are the world’s most produced non-grain crops and an important food source for billions of people. Potatoes are susceptible to numerous pathogens that reduce yield, including Potato virus Y (PVY). Genetic resistance ... -
Longitudinal monitoring of honey bee colonies reveals dynamic nature of virus abundance and indicates a negative impact of Lake Sinai virus 2 on colony health
(Public Library of Science, 2020-09)Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are important pollinators of plants, including those that produce nut, fruit, and vegetable crops. Therefore, high annual losses of managed honey bee colonies in the United States and many other ... -
Genetic dissection of natural variation in oilseed traits of camelina by whole-genome resequencing and QTL mapping
(Wiley, 2021-06)Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is an oilseed crop in the Brassicaceae family that is currently being developed as a source of bioenergy and healthy fatty acids. To facilitate modern breeding efforts through ... -
