Physiological and biochemical aspects of silicon and magnesium interaction and of the acids beta-aminobutyric and gamma-aminobutyric in the potentiation of wheat resistance against blast
Abstract:Epidemics of blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae, have caused great yield losses in wheat and disease control has relied on using resistant cultivars combined with fungicides spray. Other control strategies need to be investigated and the use of inducers of host resistance may become an environmentally friendly and viable strategy for blast management. In the first study, the hypothesis that wheat plants with higher foliar concentrations of silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) could had their resistance against bla… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
