Im Rahmen dieser Studie soll eine Nahsensorikmethode zur Identifizierung und Quantifizierung von Pflanzenkrankheiten entwickelt werden. Die Komplexität verschiedener Pathogene einbeziehend, soll der Einfluss der Schaderreger Erysiphe graminis (Echter Mehltau) und Septoria tritici (Blattdürre) als Vertreter zweier unterschiedlicher Erregerklassen auf die Reflexion von Weizenpflanzen untersucht w...

This is a morphocultural study under in vitro and in vivo condition on some Septoria tritici variants mainly originated from isolates collected from cultivars bearing Bobwhite 'S' and Kavkaz germplasm. The objective was to show the variability in cultural and morphobiometrical characters of atypical isolates (variants) derived from these germplasms and discuss the relationship with the pathogen...

Crops are attacked by many potential pathogens with differing life-history traits, which raises the question of whether or not the outcome of infection by one pathogen may be modulated by a change in the host environment brought on by infection by another pathogen. We investigated the host-mediated interaction between the biotroph Blumeria graminis f.sp. tritici (Bgt), the powdery mildew pathog...

background and objectives: septoria tritici blotch (stb), caused by mycosphaerella graminicola (anamorph s. tritici) is currently the most serious disease of wheat worldwide. this study was established to determine the function of resistant genes of m. graminicola to find out the number of genes corresponding in resistant reaction and also to estimate the genetic parameters of resistance. mater...

The fungus Zymoseptoria tritici is a strictly apoplastic, host-specific pathogen of wheat leaves and causal agent of septoria tritici blotch (STB) disease. All other plants are considered nonhosts, but the mechanism of nonhost resistance (NHR) to Z. tritici has not been addressed previously. We sought to develop Nicotiana benthamiana as a system to study NHR against Z. tritici. Fluorescence mic...

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...

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...

The hemibiotrophic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Pathogen reproduction on wheat occurs without cell penetration, suggesting that dynamic and intimate intercellular communication occurs between fungus and plant throughout the disease cycle. We used deep RNA sequencing and metabolomics to investigate the physiology of plant and pa...

The fungus Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria Tritici Blotch (STB) disease of wheat leaves. Z. tritici secretes many functionally uncharacterised effector proteins during infection. Here we characterised a secreted ribonuclease (Zt6) with an unusual biphasic expression pattern. Transient expression systems were used to characterise Zt6, and mutants thereof, in both host and no...
