Being one of the major staple foods in the world, and an interesting model monocot plant,
rice (Oryza sativa L.) has recently received attention from molecular nematologists studying …

Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima have been selected to acquire and partition resources
efficiently as part of the process of domestication. However, genetic diversity in cultivated …

The wild species of the genus Oryza serve as a virtually untapped reservoir of genetic
diversity that can be used to improve the world's most important food crop—rice. The genus …

The rice root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola) is one of the most destructive pests
threatening rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in Asia; however, no rice resistance genes have …

Abstract Background and Aims The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola is
responsible for production losses in rice (Oryza sativa) in Asia and Latin America. The …

Mulberry (Morus spp.) is an important crop in the sericulture industry, as the leaves
constitute the primary feed for the silkworm. The availability of diverse genetic sources of …

Background The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola is an obligate biotrophic
pathogen considered to be the most damaging nematode species that causes significant …

To improve grain yield under direct seeded and aerobic conditions, weed competitive ability
of a rice genotype is a key desirable trait. Hence, understanding and dissecting weed …

Twenty years ago, the facultative meiotic parthenogenetic root-knot nematode (RKN),
Meloidogyne graminicola, was recognised as an important rice pathogen in South Vietnam …

Considering the potentials of wild rice (Oryza spp.), as well as the need to enhance the yield
potential of rice and to increase rice production to meet increasing demands, 1780 …
