Abstract:
... 12-Oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) plays unique roles in plant defenses against biotic and abiotic stresses. In the current study, we infested two resistant wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, ‘Molly’ and ‘Iris’, with an avirulent Hessian fly population and determined the impact of exogenous OPDA application on wheat resistance to the insect under heat stress. We observed that Molly and Iris trea ...

Abstract:
... The time required for sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) to grow one internode was estimated to be 10 d. In 1983, the largest increase in bored internodes occurred in 10-d-old internodes. The percentage bored internodes (cumulative with internode age) increased with internode age until internodes were 70-80 d old, then remained constant near 55% bored internodes. In 1984, the percentage bored internodes i ...

Abstract:
... Oviposition resistance-nonpreference of boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, was measured on day-neutral (flowering response not sensitive to day-length) lines of primitive cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. Six of nine lines (T-109DN, T-277-2-6DN, T-330DN, T-759DN, T-763DN, and T-790DN) had significantly less boll weevil oviposition and significantly fewer boll weevil-damaged squares than ...
