Plant Defence Pathogen Siege, A Microplot Story
| Division: | Biotechnology | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Lethbridge | | City: | Lethbridge, AB | | School: | Winston Churchill High School | | Abstract: | Exploitation of a plant's natural defence mechanisms can provide opportunities to reduce snowmold losses in winter cereals. A foliar application of salicylic acid pathway activators decreases plant mortality when challenged by snowmold/low temperature stresses. Greater gains in survival occur in susceptible types compared to resistant varieties when defence is stimulated. |
