A new method to measure EC₅₀ reveals cultivar-specific fungicide resistance and very high diversity within experimental field populations of Zymoseptoria tritici. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
We isolated Zymoseptoria tritici strains from a diverse wheat field and quantified fungicide resistance using a novel plate assay. We found high diversity in fungicide sensitivity and host–fungicide–pathogen interactions. Abstract BACKGROUND Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), the most damaging wheat disease in Europe. In Europe,

Distribution of Pseudocercospora species causing Sigatoka leaf diseases of banana in Uganda and Tanzania. [PDF]

Plant Pathol, 2020
Sigatoka leaf diseases are a major constraint to banana production. A survey was conducted in Tanzania and Uganda to assess the distribution of Pseudocercospora species and severity of Sigatoka leaf diseases. Pseudocercospora species were identified using species‐specific primers.

Rank‐based data synthesis of heterogeneous trials to identify the effects of climatic factors on the reaction of Musa genotypes to black leaf streak disease

Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 2990-3009, November/December 2023., 2023
Abstract Synthesis of crop trial data can generate insights that are not available from the analysis of individual studies, but such synthesis is often constrained by the heterogeneity of data among studies. Rank‐based data synthesis provides the flexibility to combine data of heterogeneous types and from different sources.

Review of the existing maximum residue levels for dithiocarbamates according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the group of pesticide active substances dithiocarbamates. To assess the occurrence of metiram, ziram, maneb and mancozeb residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and ...

A world‐wide analysis of reduced sensitivity to DMI fungicides in the banana pathogen Pseudocercospora fijiensis

Pest Management Science, Volume 77, Issue 7, Page 3273-3288, July 2021., 2021
Studies on Pseudocercospora fijiensis demethylation inhibitor (DMI) sensitivity shows that Pfcyp51 modulations correlated with fungicide resistance. The importance of amino acid substitutions at positions 137, 311, 378, 379 and 458–461 is strengthened by mathematical modelling.

Fungal factors involved in host immune evasion, modulation and exploitation during infection

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Human and plant pathogenic fungi have a major impact on public health and agriculture. Although these fungi infect very diverse hosts and are often highly adapted to specific host niches, they share surprisingly similar mechanisms that mediate immune evasion, modulation of distinct host targets and exploitation of host nutrients, highlighting ...

Sensitivity of Mycosphaerella fijiensis from Banana to Trifloxystrobin [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2001
An ascospore germination method was developed and validated to assess the sensitivity of bulk samples of Mycosphaerella fijiensis to trifloxystrobin. Using this method, the sensitivity of 142 ascospore samples from banana plantations not treated with strobilurins was analyzed to establish a baseline of pathogen sensitivity.
