Types and components of resistance to <i>Fusarium</i> head blight of wheat

Ákos Mesterházy · 1 Oct 1995

Abstract Resistance of wheat to Fusarium head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum and F. culmorum was identified in natural epidemics in 1985 and 1987 as well after artificial inoculations (1983–1988 and 1984–1987). Out of 25 genotypes tested, five were identified with no significant difference in head blight scores, but differing significantly in yield after artificial…

QTL mapping and marker‐assisted selection for <i>Fusarium</i> head blight resistance in wheat: a review

Hermann Buerstmayr, Tomohiro Ban, J. Ansel Anderson · 27 Jan 2009

Abstract During the past decade, numerous studies have been published on molecular mapping of Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in wheat. We summarize the relevant findings from 52 quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies, nine research articles on marker‐assisted selection and seven on marker‐assisted germplasm evaluation. QTL for FHB resistance were found on all wheat…

Molecular markers and their applications in wheat breeding

P. K. Gupta, Rajeev K. Varshney, P. C. Sharma et al. · 1 Oct 1999

Abstract In recent years, considerable emphasis has been placed on the development of molecular markers to be used for a variety of objectives. This review attempts to give an account of different molecular markers—restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs), sequence‐tagged sites (STS), DNA amplification fingerprinting (DAF), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs)…

Drought stress adaptation: metabolic adjustment and regulation of gene expression

S. Bhargava, Kshitija Sawant · 12 Oct 2012

Abstract Plants cope with drought stress by manipulating key physiological processes like photosynthesis, respiration, water relations, antioxidant and hormonal metabolism. There exist multiple and often redundant stress sensors, which transduce the stress signal through secondary signalling molecules to the nucleus, where the expression of stress‐response genes is regulated. Transcription factors play an important role in…

Plant Breeding template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Plant Breeding format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Plant Breeding template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Plant Breeding use?
Plant Breeding uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Plant Breeding 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Plant Breeding?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Plant Breeding document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Plant Breeding template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Plant Breeding format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Plant Breeding?
Plant Breeding is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Plant Breeding template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Plant Breeding PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Plant Breeding template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Plant Breeding template cost?
You can start writing in the Plant Breeding template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Plant Breeding PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
