Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a devastating fungal disease affecting durum and bread wheat cultivation worldwide. The identification, development, and employment of resistant wheat genetic material is the key to overcoming costs and limitations of fungicide treatments. The search for resistance sources in untapped genetic material may speed up the deployment of STB genetic resistance in the ...

Abstract Leaf blotch diseases (LBD), such as Septoria nodorum bloch ( Parastagnospora ), tritici Zymoseptoria ) and Tan spot Pyrenophora tritici-repentis can cause severe yield losses (up to 50%) in Norwegian spring wheat Triticum aestivum are mainly controlled by fungicide applications. A forecasting model predict disease risk be an important tool optimize control. The association between spec...

ABSTRACT DNA fingerprinting has been used extensively to characterize populations of Mycosphaerella graminicola, the Septoria tritici blotch pathogen of wheat. The highly polymorphic DNA fingerprints of Mycosphaerella graminicola were assumed to reflect the action of transposable elements. However, there was no direct evidence to support that conclusion. To test the transposable element hypothe...

Septoria tritici blotch (STB; Zymoseptoria tritici), one of the most important foliar diseases in wheat, is mainly controlled by intensive use fungicides during crop growth. Unfortunately, Z. field populations have developed various extents resistance to different groups fungicides. Due complete quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs), fungicidal control STB relies on demethylation (DMIs) and succina...
