Gall midges constitute an important group of plant-parasitic insects. The Hessian fly (HF;
Mayetiola destructor), the most investigated gall midge, was the first insect hypothesized to …

While once considered noise in the background of constitutive resistance, the phenomenon
of induced resistance to herbivores and pathogens is now firmly accepted as an integral …

Crown rot of wheat and barley in the Pacific Northwest is caused by a complex of Fusarium
pseudograminearum, F. culmorum, F. avenaceum, Bipolaris sorokiniana, and Microdochium …

Effects of cereal cyst (Heterodera) and rootlesion (Pratylenchus) nematodes on wheat are
difficult to identify and control. Symptoms are nonspecific and easily confused with stress …

Abstract Key message Two new Hessian fly resistance QTLs (H35 and H36) and tightly
linked SNP markers were identified in a US hard winter wheat SD06165. Abstract Hessian …

H32 is a newly identified gene that confers resistance to the highly pervasive Biotype L of
the Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)]. The gene was identified in a synthetic …

Every organism on Earth depends on interactions with other organisms to survive. In each of
these interactions, an organism must utilize the limited toolbox of genes and proteins it …

Abstract The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say)(Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is a major pest
of wheat (Triticum spp. L.), reducing yields in many wheat producing countries around the …

Crown rot, caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is an important disease of wheat in
Australia and elsewhere. In order to identify molecular markers associated with partial …

Infestation of wheat by Hessian fly larvae causes a variety of physical and biochemical
modifications of the host plant. Changes occur in cuticle permeability, lipid composition and …
