Zymoseptoria tritici is a host-specific, necrotrophic pathogen of wheat. Infection by Z. tritici is characterized by its extended latent period, which typically lasts 2 wks, and is followed by extensive host cell death, and rapid proliferation of fungal biomass. This work characterizes the level of genomic variation in 13 isolates, for which we have measured virulence on 11 wheat cultivars with...

Studies of the wheat Zymoseptoria tritici blotch (ZTB) status in different locations, on agronomic practice, and pathogen variability has not yet been studied Ethiopia. As a result, goal this study was to determine ZTB's distribution intensity, as well morphological isolates. In Oromia's central-southeastern region, zones districts were purposefully chosen, whereas kebeles determined via system...

Quantitative resistance is likely to be more durable than major gene resistance for controlling Septoria tritici blotch (STB) on wheat. Earlier studies hypothesized that resistance affecting the degree of host damage, as measured by the percentage of leaf area covered by STB lesions, is distinct from resistance that affects pathogen reproduction, as measured by the density of pycnidia produced ...

Meiotic recombination is an important driver of evolution. Variability in the intensity of recombination across chromosomes can affect sequence composition, nucleotide variation and rates of adaptation. In many organisms recombination events are concentrated within short segments termed recombination hotspots. The variation in recombination rate and recombination hotspot positions can be studie...

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...
