16:00 - SEMINAR - Plant Biology Research Seminar : The oxygen interface of seasonal quiescence and dormancy in grapevine buds
|
More Information
|
The bud is a dynamic organ that defines the lifecycle of perennial plants, enabling cycles of growth and quiescence in synchrony with a seasonal climate. Grapevine is a typical example we study in our lab. An embryonic shoot develops continuously within the buds from early spring, but in a (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Plant Biology Research Seminar : Pythium and common bean, not a love story - In search of disease resistance
|
More Information
|
Damping-off and root rot disease caused by Pythium spp. is the main reason for yield reduction of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). When Pythium disease occurs in conjunction with waterlogging, the challenge to common bean production can be critical. Current control of Pythium damping-off and root (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Plant Biology Research Seminar : Studies on the strain specificity, phenotyping, resistance gene inheritance, resistance mechanisms and phylogeny of Turnip mosaic virus: in oilseed Brassica crops
|
More Information
|
The diseases caused by Turnip mosaic virus affect the productivity of oilseed Brassica crops worldwide. If available, virus-resistant cultivars can provide an effective method of controlling the diseases TuMV causes. The main objectives of this PhD project were to:
(i) identify strain-specific (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Plant Biology Research Seminar : The HKT gene family in bread wheat and regulation of tissue Na+ in saline conditions
|
More Information
|
Soil salinity impedes crop production in 30% of irrigated land area and 7% of dryland agriculture (FAO, 2008). Members of the High Affinity K+ Transporter (HKT) gene family have been implicated in Na+ transport in taxonomically diverse species making these genes potential targets in crop (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Plant Biology Research Seminar : Changes in root symbionts during long-term soil and ecosystem development and their ecological role for the maintenance of plant diversity
|
More Information
|
Plant communities can be strongly influenced by their associated root microorganisms, such as mutualistic symbionts and soil-borne pathogens. I studied changes in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi associated with two plant species along a south-western Australian dune (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Plant Biology Research Seminar : Significance of phylogenetic variation and mycotoxin production of the white leaf spot pathogen and mechanisms of host resistance in Brassicas
|
More Information
|
White leaf spot (Pseudocercosporella capsellae) occurs across many Brassicaceae including oilseed, vegetable, condiment and fodder Brassica species and results in significant yield losses worldwide. Current management of white leaf spot relies heavily upon chemical control options that only provide (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Plant Biology Research Seminar : Plant-pollinator networks in a restoration planting, and the effects of non-native plants and nitrrogen fertilization.
|
More Information
|
Global changes, such as in atmospheric composition, land use, introduction of non-native species, and changes in soil structure can act individually or in combination to change plant-pollinator interactions. Impacts of global changes can influence both plant reproductive traits and/or pollinator (...)
