Tan spot, one of the most important diseases of wheat, is caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, a necrotrophic fungus which survives in wheat straw. Methods of disease control include fungicide application, crop rotation, and the use of resistant cultivars; however, in Brazil there are no cultivars in the market with a good level of resistance. In North America, a system of race identificatio...

1 Introduction 2 Advantages of using M. truncatula to study resistance to fungal necrotrophs 3 Fungal pathogens of M. truncatula 4 New pathogens and isolate validation 5 References 1 Introduction Fungal diseases in plants are almost exclusively members of the phylum Ascomycota and subphylum Pezizomycotina. All common crop plants are susceptible to fungal disease of one kind or another. Spore pr...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is grown throughout the winter time in Southern Brazil and turns out to be main agricultural crop at such a year season State of Paraná. However, growing foliar diseases significantly compromise commercial yields manner as justify application fungicides right control production fields. The aim current manuscript was assess impact different timings for fungicide (epo...

Our project is to measure differential responses of various alien cytoplasms in a specific nuclear background to various pathogens to provide a better understanding on the effect of nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions on biotic stress tolerance. In this study, we analyzed the nuclear donors of 56-1 (tetraploid), and Chris and Selkirk (both hexaploid), alloplasmic lines. Fifty selected alloplasmic ...
