| chromosome engineering, mapping, and transferring of resistance to fusarium head blight disease from elymus tsukushiensis into wheat. | this manuscript describes the transfer and molecular cytogenetic characterization of a novel source of fusarium head blight resistance in wheat. fusarium head blight (fhb) caused by the fungus fusarium graminearum schwabe [telomorph = gibberella zeae (schwein. fr.) petch] is an important disease of bread wheat, triticum aestivum l. (2n = 6x = 42, aabbdd) worldwide. wheat has limited resistance to fhb controlled by many loci and new sources of resistance are urgently needed. the perennial grass e ... | 2015 | 25726000 |
| estimation of soil-to-plant transfer factors of radiocesium in 99 wild plant species grown in arable lands 1 year after the fukushima 1 nuclear power plant accident. | one year after the deposition of radionuclides from the fukushima 1 nuclear power plant (a formal name is fukushima daiichi nuclear power station) in march 2011, radiocesium (¹³⁴cs, ¹³⁷cs) concentrations ([cs]) were comprehensively investigated in the wild plants of 99 species most of which were annual or summer green perennial herbs and started to grow from april 2012 at the heavily contaminated fields of paddy (three study sites) and upland (one study site) in fukushima prefecture. the survey ... | 2014 | 24346655 |
| paenibacillus dongdonensis sp. nov., isolated from rhizospheric soil of elymus tsukushiensis. | a gram-staining-positive, endospore-forming and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated kudc0114(t), was isolated from rhizospheric soil of elymus tsukushiensis from dongdo island, one of the largest of the dokdo islands, south korea. the strain displayed optimal growth at 37 °c, ph 8.5 in the absence of nacl. based on phylogenetic analysis of 16s rrna gene sequences, strain kudc0114(t) represented a member of the genus paenibacillus and was most closely related to paenibacillus taichungensis bc ... | 2014 | 24871779 |
