septoria tritici blotch (stb), caused by the ascomycete fungus mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. in this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to stb (pr-1, bsi, msr, per, and ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘fronta...

A range of novel carboxamide fungicides, inhibitors of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH, EC 1.3.5.1) is currently being introduced to the crop protection market. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of structurally distinct carboxamides on target site resistance development and to assess possible impact on fitness. We used a UV mutagenesis approach in Mycosphaerella graminicol...

ABSTRACT Specific resistances to isolates of the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola, which causes Septoria tritici blotch of wheat, have been detected in many cultivars. Cvs. Flame and Hereward, which have specific resistance to the isolate IPO323, were crossed with the susceptible cv. Longbow. The results of tests on F1 and F2 progeny indicated that a single semidominant gene control...
