Potential Downstream Immunological Effects of Evolved Disease Tolerance in House Finches
Emerging infectious diseases can exert strong selection on hosts to evolve resistance or tolerance to infection. However, it remains unknown whether the evolution of specific defense strategies against a novel pathogen influences host immune phenotypes more broadly, potentially affecting their …

The Role of Arabidopsis thaliana Clade A1 Heat Shock Transcription Factors in Growth and Development
… traits as well as increased stress and disease tolerance. In this study, plants overexpressing HSFA1b had smaller rosettes in seedlings and mature plants, longer inflorescence and early flowering. A number of candidate developmental genes identified to be regulated by HSFA1b could not be …

Influence of Plant Growth Regulators on Turfgrass Growth, Antioxidant Status, and Drought Tolerance
… to examine the antioxidant status, drought and disease tolerance, and growth response to foliar application of soluble seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) extracts (SE) and humic acid (HA; 25% active HA or 2.9% active HA) in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis …

Development of genetic mapping and DNA markers for tolerance to bacterial stem blight caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae in alfalfa
… Yield losses are due to both frost injury and disease. The bacterium promotes frost through ice nucleation then enters plants through frost injury sites and causes water-soaking, chlorosis, and necrosis 7 to 10 days after the frost injury. Currently, multiple strains have been isolated from …
