Physiological and biochemical markers associated with root lignification and micronutrient uptake in wheat genotypes with contrasting resistance to Gaeumannomyces tritici.

Abstract excerpt

Take-all disease, caused by Gaeumannomyces tritici, is one of the most destructive root diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum) worldwide. This study aimed to clarify the physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying take-all resistance through analysis of root lignification, manganese and iron concentration in roots and seeds, and defense enzyme activities. In the first step, 17 bread wheat genotypes were...
