Limits of Symptom‐Based Inference in Fungal Plant Disease: Latency, Quiescence and Dormancy

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Symptomless fungal infections are not biologically uniform. Latency, quiescence and dormancy represent distinct biological states with different implications for interpreting infection, symptom development and epidemic emergence. Recognising these distinctions reduces reliance on symptom‐based inference in fungal plant disease. ABSTRACT In fungal plant

Development of Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assays for Early Detection of Ceratocystis sp. and Dematophora sp. in Cacao (Theobroma cacao)

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
The molecular detection of Ceratocystis and Dematophora in the early stages of infection in cacao seedlings using the LAMP technique has strong potential as a tool for early diagnosis in both laboratory and field monitoring contexts. ABSTRACT Ceratocystis wilt, caused by Ceratocystis cacaofunesta, and black root rot, caused by species of Dematophora ...

The Fungal Pathogen Fusarium graminearum Can Hydrolyse Tryptamine‐Derived Hydroxy‐Cinnamic Acid Amide Defence Compounds, and Generates Highly Increased Auxin Levels in Wheat via Copper Amine‐Oxidases

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fusarium graminearum can cleave tryptamine‐derived hydroxycinnamic acid amides and convert the released tryptamine into auxin, suppressing plant defence responses; aoxΔ7—septuple knockout of copper amine oxidases blocks auxin formation. ABSTRACT The important cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum is not only able to produce trichothecene toxins, like ...
