In a compatible interaction biotrophic fungi often lower the yield of their hosts by reducing
photosynthesis and altering the fluxes of carbon within the infected leaf. In contrast, …

• Striga hermonthica is a root hemiparasite of cereals that causes devastating loss of yield.
Recently, a rice cultivar, Nipponbare, was discovered, which exhibits post‐attachment …

Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging provides a non-invasive and non-destructive means with
which to measure photosynthesis. This technique has been used, in combination with 14 CO …

BACKGROUND: The use of Striga‐resistant germplasm is likely to be a cost‐effective
control strategy for preventing loss of yield owing to Striga. Previously, the authors identified …

Lethal Yellowing-type diseases of coconut have destroyed thousands of coconut palms
globally, and in Ghana the disease [Cape St. Paul wilt disease (CSPWD)] is considered as the …

Understanding the molecular basis of host resistance to Striga species is a critical step in
the identification of genes that can be used for improving crop productivity via biotechnology …

Cape St. Paul Wilt Disease (CSPWD) is a major factor that impacts on coconut productivity in
Ghana. Novel markers that might be specific for a promising variety of coconut or that could …

The voltage-gated potassium (Kv) 1.3 channel is widely regarded as a therapeutic target for
immunomodulation in autoimmune diseases. ShK-186, a selective inhibitor of Kv1. 3 …
