Fungal pretreatment of lignocellulose by Phanerochaete chrysosporium to produce ethanol from rice straw.

13 Oct 2009 Phanerochaete chrysosporium is a wood-rot fungus that is capable of degrading lignin via its lignolytic system. In this study, an environmentally friendly fungal pretreatment process that produces less inhibitory substances than conventional methods ... Read more...

Demonstration of pathotype specificity in stem rust of perennial ryegrass.

29 Sep 2009 Rust diseases cause significant damage in forage and seed crops of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), which is highly heterozygous and heterogeneous and thus presents difficulty in genetic analysis. There has been no definitive demonstration of ... Read more...

Resistance to stem rust race TTKSK maps to the rpg4/Rpg5 complex of chromosome 5H of barley.

29 Sep 2009 Race TTKSK (Ug99) of the wheat stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) is a serious threat to both wheat and barley production worldwide because of its wide virulence on many cultivars and rapid spread from eastern Africa. Line Q21861 ... Read more...
