Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: a dual‐purpose biological control agent for weed and disease management in pastures and cereal crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A hypervirulent, endophytic, non‐sclerotial strain of the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has enormous potential as a dual‐purpose bioherbicide/plant vaccine that is biosafe for use in pastures and cereal crops. Abstract The cosmopolitan phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary infects many dicotyledonous species, including major ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

A fungal extracellular effector inactivates plant polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein

Nature Communications, 2022
Plants produce polygalacuturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) to counteract cell wall degradation by pathogenic microbes. Here the authors show that Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a fungal pathogen that causes stem rot disease, secretes a PGIP-inactivating ...
