Zymoseptoria tritici Effectors Structurally Related to Killer Proteins UmV-KP4 and UmV-KP6 Inhibit Fungal Growth, and Define Extended Protein Families in Fungi. [PDF]
Fungal effectors play crucial roles in plant infection. Despite low sequence identity, they were recently discovered to belong to families with similar three‐dimensional structures.

Stb6 mediates stomatal immunity, photosynthetic functionality, and the antioxidant system during the Zymoseptoria tritici-wheat interaction [PDF]
This study offers new perspectives on the biochemical and physiological changes that occur in wheat following a gene-for-gene interaction with the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici. The Z.

Exploring the Genetic Regulation of Asexual Sporulation in Zymoseptoria tritici [PDF]
Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of septoria tritici blotch, a devastating fungal disease of wheat which can cause up to 40% yield loss. One of the ways in which Z. tritici spreads in the field is via rain splash-dispersed asexual pycnidiospores,

A secreted protease-like protein in Zymoseptoria tritici is responsible for avirulence on Stb9 resistance gene in wheat. [PDF]
Zymoseptoria tritici is the fungal pathogen responsible for Septoria tritici blotch on wheat. Disease outcome in this pathosystem is partly determined by isolate-specific resistance, where wheat resistance genes recognize specific fungal factors ...

DMI fungicide resistance in Zymoseptoria tritici is unlinked to geographical origin and genetic background: a case study in Europe. [PDF]
BACKGROUND The hemibiotrophic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici causing Septoria tritici blotch (STB), is a devastating foliar pathogen of wheat worldwide. A common group of fungicides used to control STB are the demethylation inhibitors (DMIs). DMI fungicides

Discovery of globally rare CYP51 mutations associated with azole resistance in Iranian Zymoseptoria tritici isolates. [PDF]
Septoria tritici blotch, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici, is a major wheat disease worldwide. Demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides, which target the sterol 14α-demethylase enzyme encoded by the CYP51 gene, remain central to disease control.

Real-time quantitative PCR method for assessing wheat cultivars for resistance to <i>Zymoseptoria tritici</i>. [PDF]
Septoria tritici blotch, caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (formerly Mycosphaerella graminicola), is an economically significant disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum) worldwide. However, there is little understanding of the fungus’ growth dynamics during the

Heterochromatin in the fungal plant pathogen, Zymoseptoria tritici: Control of transposable elements, genome plasticity and virulence [PDF]
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 ...

The Egyptian wheat cultivar Gemmeiza-12 is a source of resistance against the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici. [PDF]
Wheat is one of the world’s most important cereal crops. However, the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici can cause disease epidemics, leading to reduced yields. With climate change and development of new agricultural areas with suitable environments, Z.

A <i>Burkholderia cenocepacia</i>-like environmental isolate strongly inhibits the plant fungal pathogen <i>Zymoseptoria tritici</i>. [PDF]
Fungal phytopathogens cause significant reductions in agricultural yields annually, and overusing chemical fungicides for their control leads to environmental pollution and the emergence of resistant pathogens.
