Wheat breeding is focused on high yield, pathogen resistance and abiotic stress tolerance. Among diseases of wheat yellow rust, stem rust, and leaf rust are the most damaging diseases of wheat and other small grain cereals . Disease resistance in wheat breeding with one exception, the diseases of wheat that is important because of their effect on yield. Resistance to all diseases together can is important to avoid an unexpected loss in effectiveness of the resistance of a cu ltivar to a major disease. The genetic resistance to stem rust, leaf rust and yellow rust can be characterized as qualitative and quantitative resistances. Vertical resistance is specific to pathogen isolates based on single or very few genes. Race - specifi c is used to describe resistance that interacts differentially with pathogen races. Quantitative resistance is defined as resistance that varies in continuous way between the various phenotypes of the host population, from almost imperceptible to quite str ong. With the need to accelerate the development of improved varieties, genomics - assisted breeding is becoming an important tool in breeding programs. With marker - assisted selection, there has been success in breeding for disease resistance. Generally, bre eding programs have successfully implemented molecular markers to assist in the development of cultivars with stem, leaf and stripe rust resistance genes. When new rust resistance genes are to be deployed in wheat breeding programs, it unfortunately takes several years before the new sources of resistance will become available in commercial wheat cultivars. This is due to the long process involved in the establishment of pure breeding wheat lines. Biotechnology based techniques are available to accelerate t he breeding process via doubled haploid production.","PeriodicalId":19559,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88373603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impact is possible both on the cellular and at the level of the whole organism. The basic idea of using bioresonance is that with the proper selection of electromagnetic radiation, normal and weakening pathological changes in the body can be enhanced. The purpose of this work is to study the shape, size and growth of the yest culture stored in the collection after bioresonant impact. Th e culture of the yeast Candida guillermondi BDU - 217, stored in the culture collection of the Department of Microbiology, Baku State University, was taken as an object for one year on the wort agar medium at a temperature of 4 - 6 C. After influence of electr omagnetic fields to the cells, stored for one year, appeared colonies with signs of the initial culture. Moreover, with direct biorezonant impact the size of some colonies became much larger than the initial. And with impact simultaneous direct and inverse electromagnetic radiation, it gave results similar to both the initial and stored for one year culture. It has been shown that, regardless of the form of bioresonant impact (direct or inverted), the shape and size of the cells of the yeast culture can be restored and even modified, i.e. from ovoid to rod - shaped. These preliminary data provide prerequisites for the recognition of a new scientific approach in restoring the changed properties of microorganisms using bioenergy information transfer.
