Genomic, transcriptomic, and metagenomic approaches for detecting fungal plant pathogens and investigating the molecular basis of fungal ice nucleation activity
… in various environments. Some of them infect plants and cause economically important diseases. However, many fungal pathogens cause similar symptoms or are even spread asymptomatically, making it difficult to identify them morphologically. Therefore, culture-independent, sequence-based …

Approaches towards disease resistance to filamentous pathogens
In the co-evolutionary arms race between plants and pathogens, plants have developed a multifaceted armory consisting of diverse defence responses, such as the production of antimicrobial compounds and the activation of immunity via specific receptors. This work examines the use of the phytoalexin …

Molecular Basis of Pathogenesis and Host Determination in Cercospora sojina: from Phenotypic to Genotypic Patterns
… genomics and the virulence gene inventories in fungal plant pathogens is extremely important to improve disease control measures, studies regarding host specificity and pathogenesis in C. sojina are very limited. Therefore, the overarching goal of this study was to elucidate the genetic and …

Phylogeny, histological observation, and in vitro fungicide screening and field trials of multiple Colletotrichum species, the causal agents of grape ripe rot
… acutatum and C. gloeosporioides are fungal plant pathogens that have a global distribution, extensive host range, and convoluted taxonomy. Both species can cause grape ripe rot and are considered endemic to Virginia US. In 2012, C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides were reclassified …

Optimising fungicide application tactics: using mathematical modelling to understand qualitative and quantitative fungicide resistance management
Plant diseases pose a significant threat to food security, and fungal plant pathogens can be particularly damaging due to enormous evolutionary potential. Two major control strategies for fungal pathogens include chemical control with fungicides and use of disease-resistant cultivars. Both …

Identification of phytotoxins produced by fusarium virguliforme associated with foliar symptoms of sudden death syndrome and genome-wide association studies for soybean disease resistance
"Plant pathology is a multidisciplinary subject and the scientific progress in plant pathology follows the advent of sciences. Beginning in the 1800s, the father of plant pathology, Dr. Anton de Bary, initiated studies on the identification of oomycetes and fungal plant pathogens. This was the …

Fusarium poae: Secondary Metabolism and Accessory Chromosomes
Fusarium poae is of concern to plant pathologists as it is a globally distributed contributor to Fusarium head blight in wheat, barley and oats, and threatens consumers by the production of harmful mycotoxins. Recent characterization of F. poae strain genomic architecture revealed the species …
