The Zymoseptoria tritici effector Zt-11 contributes to aggressiveness in wheat. [PDF]
PLoS ONEZymoseptoria tritici is an ascomycete fungus and the causal agent of Septoria tritici leaf blotch (STB) in wheat. Z. tritici secretes an array of effector proteins that are likely to facilitate host infection, colonisation and pycnidia production.

Heterochromatin in the fungal plant pathogen, Zymoseptoria tritici: Control of transposable elements, genome plasticity and virulence [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Heterochromatin is a repressive chromatin state that plays key roles in the functional organisation of eukaryotic genomes. In fungal plant pathogens, effector genes that are required for host colonization tend to be associated with heterochromatic ...

Efficacy of Stb resistance genes and pathotype diversity in Zymoseptoria tritici from Ethiopia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsZymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch (STB) in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), leads to significant global yield losses. Resistance breeding is vital for managing STB, but there is limited information on Z.

The Molecular Dialogue Between Zymoseptoria tritici and Wheat
Molecular Plant-Microbe InteractionsZymoseptoria tritici is a highly damaging pathogen that causes high wheat yield losses in temperate climates. Z. tritici emerged during the domestication of wheat in the Fertile Crescent and has been extensively used as a model system for population ...

Deciphering resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici in the Tunisian durum wheat landrace accession ‘Agili39’ [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (Z. tritici), is an important biotic threat to durum wheat in the entire Mediterranean Basin. Although most durum wheat cultivars are susceptible to Z.

Multi-stage resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici revealed by GWAS in an Australian bread wheat diversity panel [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Septoria tritici blotch (STB) has been ranked the third most important wheat disease in the world, threatening a large area of wheat production. Although major genes play an important role in the protection against Zymoseptoria tritici infection, the ...

Study of the species composition and population structure of winter wheat leaf blotch pathogens in the central chernozem region of the Russian Federation [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2021 For the period of 2020, the species composition of winter wheat leaf blotch pathogens on the territory of the Central Chernozem region was studied. It is shown that the Zymoseptoria tritici species dominates in the pathogenic complex during all phases of
