The battle of wheat against pests and pathogens can be strengthened by genetically engineering the wheat plant for disease tolerance, e.g. by enhancing the expression of chitinase and â-1,3-glucanase genes. In order to ...
Profiling of gene expression in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) line PI 137739 in response to Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia Mordvilco) feeding

Lacock, Lynelle (University of Pretoria, 2005-06-02)

This thesis investigates the effect of Russian wheat aphid (RWA; Diuraphis noxia) infestation on the defence responses of the bread wheat line, PI 137739, on a molecular level. PI 137739 is known to contain the RWA resistance ...
