Development of Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Potato Fields in South-Central Washington [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2004
Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a recurrent disease on potato in the Columbia Basin of Washington. The role of ascospores in association with disease onset and stem rot incidence in commercial fields and the role of flower blossoms on plant infection were investigated in 10 fields over 2 years.

Viral Transmission Between Heterobasidion parviporum Strains in Wood Billets and Decaying Stumps

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The combined use of Heterobasidion partitiviruses HetPV13‐an1 and HetPV15‐pa1 is considered a promising biocontrol approach against Heterobasidion root and butt rot. Both viruses mediate debilitating effects in many Heterobasidion isolates and are transmitted efficiently in laboratory conditions.

From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

Survival of a potential bacterial biocontrol agent in the soil and its impact on microbial communities

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6984-6998, July 2026.
In soil microcosms, the candidate Bacillus persisted ≥6 months and caused modest community shifts whose transience and magnitude were soil dependent. Abstract BACKGROUND Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major crop pathogen commonly managed using fungicides.

Can Sclerotinia stem and root rot be managed effectively without causing environmental imbalance in soil? [PDF]

Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2023
Sclerotinia stem and root rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is considered to be an important soil-borne disease of over 400 plant species, including a wide range of species important for agriculture.

Comprehensive Sclerotinia Stem Rot Screening of Soybean Germplasm Requires Multiple Isolates of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2017
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum population variability directly affects Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) resistance breeding programs. In the north-central United States, however, soybean germplasm selection has often involved only a single isolate. Forty-four S. sclerotiorum isolates from Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Poland, and across 11 ...

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Effects of the Novel Fungicide Benzothiostrobin on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in the Laboratory and on Sclerotinia Stem Rot in Rape Fields [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2015
We determined the effects and efficacy of benzothiostrobin, a new strobilurin-derived fungicide, against the plant-pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (the causal agent of Sclerotinia stem rot). Mycelial growth and sclerotial germination in vitro were strongly inhibited by benzothiostrobin in the presence of salicylhydroxamic acid.

The DENN Protein SMD1 Forms a Signalling Hub With Rab GTPase YPT1 to Regulate Diverse Biological Processes in Phytopathogenic Fungi and Serves as a HIGS Target for Crop Protection

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
The DENN domain‐containing protein SsSMD1 is highly conserved across phytopathogenic fungi. Functioning as a putative GEF for RAS GTPase SsYPT1, SsSMD1 orchestrates its activation to regulate cell wall integrity, sclerotia development, and virulence in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
