Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Cercospora nicotianae (Ellis & Everh, 1893) (Dothideomycetes: Capnodiales) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The mitochondrial genome of the fungal pathogen Cercospora nicotianae was sequenced for the first time using a combination of Illumina and Nanopore sequencing technologies.

Pseudocercospora fijiensis mycelia-based infection system enhances investigational efficacy of P. fijiensis-banana pathosystem [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of ScienceScreening procedures for black Sigatoka have limitations. Thus, there is need for alternative screening procedure. A robust controlled-environment methodology for testing reaction of banana genotypes to Pseudocercospora fijiensis is, thus, still required.

A polyketide synthase gene cluster associated with the sexual reproductive cycle of the banana pathogen, Pseudocercospora fijiensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Disease spread of Pseudocercospora fijiensis, causal agent of the black Sigatoka disease of banana, depends on ascospores produced through the sexual reproductive cycle. We used phylogenetic analysis to identify P.

Pfcyp51 exclusively determines reduced sensitivity to 14α-demethylase inhibitor fungicides in the banana black Sigatoka pathogen Pseudocercospora fijiensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The haploid fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis causes black Sigatoka in banana and is chiefly controlled by extensive fungicide applications, threatening occupational health and the environment.

Pattern of local adaptation to quantitative host resistance in a major pathogen of a perennial crop
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Understanding the mechanisms involved in pathogen adaptation to quantitative resistance in plants has a key role to play in establishing durable strategies for resistance deployment, especially in perennial crops.

Dataset of banana leaves and stem images for object detection, classification and segmentation: A case of Tanzania [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2023 Banana is among major crops cultivated by most smallholder farmers in Tanzania and other parts of Africa. This crop is very important in the household economy as well as food security since it serves as both food and cash crops.

Increased Silicon Acquisition in Bananas Colonized by Rhizophagus irregularis MUCL 41833 Reduces the Incidence of Pseudocercospora fijiensis. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2018 This work aimed to test the hypothesis that the combination of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and accumulation of silicon (Si) in banana plants via its uptake and transport by the fungus reduces the incidence of Black Leaf Steak Disease (BLSD) caused by Pseudocercospora fijiensis.

Revisiting the historical scenario of a disease dissemination using genetic data and Approximate Bayesian Computation methodology: The case of Pseudocercospora fijiensis invasion in Africa. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 In this study, we illustrate that, in some cases, accepting not to use available historical data can be a fruitful way of reconsidering invasion processes using the model of the worldwide emergence of the fungal banana pathogen Pseudocercospora finjiensis. Using an ABC‐RF approach, we investigated the history of the invasion of Africa by P.

Massive proliferation of retrotransposons contributes to genome size expansion in species of the Pseudocercospora genus [PDF]
Mobile DNAGenome size expansions are common among eukaryotic lineages. Enlarged genomes can be bioenergetically demanding, and active mobile elements can trigger chromosomal rearrangements and loss of gene function.
